DHS Receives "A+" Grade on the SBA Annual Small Business Procurement Scorecard

Release Date: June 7, 2018

For the ninth year in a row, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has earned an “A” grade or higher on the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Annual Small Business Procurement Scorecard (PDF, 2 pages, 53 KB). For this reporting period, the Department earned its third “A+,” the highest score possible.

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

The Department’s small business program is the largest agency to consistently earn an “A” grade or higher on the SBA’s annual scorecard. Last fiscal year, DHS awarded 34.75 percent of total contracting dollars to small businesses, greatly exceeding the government-wide goal of 23 percent.

Small businesses play a critical role in delivering efficient and innovative solutions to support our mission needs. Partnership with the small business community will continue and the Department remains committed to their participation in the efforts to secure the nation.
