Small Business Resource Database
The Small Business Resource Database (SBRD) is maintained by the OSDBU to assist U.S. small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, women-owned small businesses, HUBZone small businesses, service-disabled Veteran-owned small businesses and Veteran-owned small businesses (hereinafter referred to as "U.S. small businesses") to participate in the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in supporting long-term and equitable economic growth and advances U.S. foreign policy objectives by supporting sustainable development program activities.
U.S. small businesses register into the database to compete for future contracts. The Agency will utilize the registration form to develop source lists for various contracts awarded at USAID.
The purpose of the SBRD is to:
- Identify U.S. small businesses and organizations and their technical capabilities.
- Provide U.S. small businesses' and organizations' capabilities to USAID project and procurement personnel considering the use of private sector technical services for USAID programs.
The SBRD currently shows the various type of specializations that USAID utilizes:
| Accounting | Agriculture | Conference Management |
| Construction | Data Processing | Democracy |
| Economic Policy | Education | Environment |
| Evaluation/Monitor | Feasibility Study | Financial Management |
| Government/Law | Health | Industry |
| Investment Banking | Judicial System | Management |
| Political Development | Population | Private Enterp. Develop. |
| Public Administration | Technology Transfer | Telecommunications |
| Training | Transportation | Urban Development |
| Water Supply and Sanitation | Women In Development | |
Registration in the SBRD can in no way assure a U.S. small business or organization of receiving a contract, but it does enhance the ability of U.S. small businesses or organizations to compete for USAID contracts.
We welcome the inclusion of your U.S. small business or organization information into our Small Business Resource Database.
