Government Contracting Resources:

Small Business Administration (SBA)

The U.S. Small Business Administration was created in 1953 as an independent agency of the federal government to aid, counsel, assist and protect the interests of small business concerns, to preserve free competitive enterprise and to maintain and strengthen the overall economy of our nation. We recognize that small business is critical to our economic recovery and strength, to building America's future, and to helping the United States compete in today's global marketplace.

Dun & Bradstreet (D&B)

The Data Universal Numbering System (the D&B D-U-N-S number) is used to identify businesses numerically, for each physical location of your business and for data-processing purposes. This unique business identification system proved so useful that today the D&B D-U-N-S number has become a standard business identifier for the U.S. Government. D-U-N-S number assignments are FREE for all businesses required to register with the Federal government for contracts and grants.
