Overview of the Small Business Program

The Small Business Program serves the U.S Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the community by advocating for small businesses, including those owned by the disadvantaged, women, veterans, and service-disabled veterans, as well as those located in Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZones).

In so doing, the Small Business Program helps the NRC to identify such firms, provide them appropriate business opportunity information, and advocate their participation in the agency's contracting program. In addition, the NRC develops agency policies and procedures to implement the provisions of Sections 8 and 15 of the Small Business Act of 1958, as amended by Public Law (P.L.) 95-507 and P.L. 100-656 , Business Opportunity Development Reform Act of 1988. For examples of these policies and procedures, see the following:

The agency's Small Business Program also provides the following services:

Provide Tips for Conducting Business with NRC, as well as technical assistance through training and counseling.
Publish an annual Forecast of Contracting Opportunities.
Negotiate Goals for prime and subcontracting awards to all categories of small businesses.
Conduct Small Business Meet & Greet Seminars and other outreach activities for the business community.
Review contract requirements for Small Business Contracting Programs and other opportunities.
Monitor small business legislation and provide agency input, as necessary.
Represent the NRC by participating in procurement fairs and other business conferences, fairs, and educational forums sponsored by the Federal and local governments, Congress, and local business communities.
