The Department of Small and Business Development (DSLBD) is dedicated to supporting, promoting, advocating to hold the door open to District Government opportunities for small and local businesses. With this mission in mind, we have developed this resource to point you and your business in the right direction when looking for ways to work with the District Government. Although, DSLBD is not a procuring agency and cannot put any business on a District contract or project; we can direct you and your business to where the contracting opportunities live.
The DC Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP), under the authority of the Chief Procurement Officer, provides contracting services for 78 agencies, offices, and commissions in the District. For more information about opportunities with agencies served by OCP, visit the Contracts and Procurement Transparency Portal at https://contracts.ocp.dc.gov/.
In addition to the agencies served by the DC Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP), there are DC government agencies and quasi-government agencies that have contracting and procurement authority, independent of the Chief Procurement Officer and OCP.
