About The Small Business Program

The DCMA Small Business Program mission and objective is to evaluate and analyze how well prime contractors ensure small businesses receive a fair proportion of prime contractors' subcontracts. Our strategy to achieve this objective is to conduct compliance reviews of the prime contractors' subcontracting programs and to actively assist customers in the development of subcontracting plans for their contractors. By doing this, the Agency helps foster business innovation and new technologies, support for the war fighter, strengthens and sustains the military and economic industrial base, and promotes private enterprise.

For any questions, comments or concerns, please contact the DCMA Small Business Programs Office by emailing us at dcma.gregg-adams.hq.mbx.small-business-center-support@mail.mil.
