Policy Updates
The RDECOM OSBP orients itself around the Federal Government's general policy to provide maximum practicable opportunities in its acquisitions to small businesses of all categories, in both prime contracts and subcontracts. We collaborate on each individual acquisition with that aim in mind, and in doing so, RDECOM OSBP only generates internal policies and procedures. Prospective contractors are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the policies and procedures which affect RDECOM- key resources are provided below for your convenience:
