The CDC Small Business Program: The Small Business Office is chartered to assist small businesses, minority businesses, and women owned businesses in their efforts to seek contracting opportunities with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in accordance with Federal legislation. Serving as the focal point for information and guidance, the Small Business Office executes the goals and objectives of the Department of Health and Human Services by making opportunities to participate in the agency’s procurement activities available. These opportunities to demonstrate capabilities and develop proficiency are generated by examining agency requirements for goods and services and weighing them in comparison to available small businesses that are responsive and responsible. This further requires the Small Business Office to interface with a myriad of business associations, facilitate interagency coordination, and maintain a pool of potential sources. Source development is accomplished by maintaining a Bidder’s Mailing List. Due to the competitive nature of contracting, ability to perform is essential. For questions or information on the CDC small business program, send e-mail to ckb9@cdc.gov.
