Acquisition Excellence: DHS Receives an “A+” Grade on SBA’s Annual Small Business Procurement Scorecard

06-26-2019 07:16 AM

For the 10th year in a row, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) earned a grade “A” or higher on the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Annual Small Business Procurement Scorecard. This is the Department’s fourth “A+,” the highest score possible.

SBA’s scorecard measures federal agencies’ success in meeting their overall small business contracting goals.

DHS has been the largest agency to consistently earn a grade of an “A” or higher on SBA’s scorecard. Last fiscal year, the Department awarded 34.5 percent*of total contracting dollars to small businesses, far exceeding the 23 percent*goal for the federal government. Further, nearly 11,700 companies received DHS prime contracts and of these approximately 7,800 were small businesses.* *

This achievement confirms the Department’s commitment to working with small businesses to help keep our nation safe.****
