NOAA recognizes the critical role of small business in the United States economy and  the accomplishment of NOAA's mission.  We continually seek to create and maintain an environment for optimal participation by small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone, Veteran Owned SB and SDVOSB, and woman-owned businesses in NOAA contract awards. 

The AGO Small Business Office advises AGO management and staff on matters relating to the development, evaluation and implementation of the Federal and Commerce small business procurement program, policies and regulations. The Small Business Office also ensures that NOAA works to attain small business goals established for all socioeconomic categories and provides maximum practicable opportunities for small businesses to participate in both prime contracts and subcontracts.
