The Green Book serves as a roadmap to DC government spending with CBEs, providing valuable insights into procurement goals, upcoming opportunities, and ways for small and local businesses to navigate the contracting process successfully. Whether you're a long-standing CBE or new to the certification, this event is a must-attend to learn how to access millions in available contracting dollars and grow your business in FY26.

Mayor Bowser knows that in these challenging times, it is more important to keep local dollars local, and we know that making the Green Book searchable and interactive is one way to surpass this year’s $1 billion goal.

“The Green Book is one of my favorite deliverables to the people of the District of Columbia." Said Mayor Bwoser. "It represents my promise that the DC Government would work with DC businesses – and we would do it in a way that is sustainable and predictable, and in a way that allows DC tax dollars to recirculate in our community.”

 

In Fiscal Year 2016, Mayor Bowser charged the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Greater Economic Opportunity (DMGEO) and DSLBD to develop a guide designed to help Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) navigate the procurement opportunities available at District agencies. As such, DSLBD now annually develops the SBE Opportunity Guide with support from the Office of Contracting and Procurement and the Office of the Chief Financial Officer.

The Guide provides details on each monitored agency's budgets, outlines the goal-setting process for each agency, and identifies planned acquisitions and areas where spending waivers were applied.
