Small and Disadvantaged Business Programs and Opportunities:
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) actively supports
a number of special assistance programs that have been established to ensure equality in Federal
procurements. These include various types of preference programs, such as small business and small disadvantaged business set-asides, programs exclusively for minority-owned companies, and other forms of assistance generally
designed to help companies that otherwise might not be able to compete for government contract awards. These
programs are monitored and managed by the Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (SADBU) Office of the
Office of Administration and Small Business (OASB) at DARPA. All firms are encouraged to become familiar with, and
take advantage of, any of the special assistance programs for which they qualify.
