Woman & Minority Owned Businesses

COURTESY OF HUD.GOV

Summary:
This program ensures that small and disadvantaged businesses, minority firms, and women-owned businesses can compete for and win a fair share of the contracts that HUD awards.

Purpose:
HUD's Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) serves as an ombudsman for small businesses, minority firms, businesses owned by disadvantaged persons, and women-owned firms ("target businesses") to make sure that they get a fair share of HUD's Federal contract awards—as mandated by the Small Business Act (SBA). Under this Act, every Federal agency must have an OSDBU that pursues this contracting goal.

Type of Assistance:
The Federal Government's goal under SBA is to award 23 percent of its prime contracts to small businesses. Within this goal, there is a subgoal of 5 percent for small, disadvantaged businesses and minority businesses, and 5 percent for women-owned small businesses.
