Welcome to the Small Business Toolkit! These resources are provided to help small businesses do business with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Resources on this page will help you get started if you are new to federal contracting, get in touch with the appropriate Component Small Business Specialist, or learn about various programs and opportunities for small businesses. The OSDBU is here to support small businesses at each stage of the contracting process.
