Small Business Accomplishments
• During the past three fiscal years, there were
instances where DOJ did not meet some of its
small business goals. The primary reason is that
some of our contracts are very large and are
beyond the capability of small businesses.
• Therefore, OSDBU sees its primary function as
reviewing planned procurements and identifying
procurements that ARE within the capability of
small businesses.
Example of Contracts Beyond the
Capability of Small Businesses
• Bureau of Prisons. Manage and Operate
two 4,000 bed Criminal Alien Detention
Facilities. Estimated Cost $2 Billion over 10
years ($200 Million per Year)
