American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

The Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) policy and procedure developed to provide small businesses with “maximum practicable opportunities” to participate in the Government acquisition process is applicable to procurements issued with ARRA funds.

In accordance with Section 6.1 of the ARRA, the HHS Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization team encourages the continued use of mechanisms and programs which "maximize opportunities for small businesses." If you have questions regarding HHS small business policy and procedure, please contact the HHS Operating Division (OPDIV) Small Business Specialist (http://www.hhs.gov/osdbu/staff.html) or the HHS OSDBU Headquarters.
