GSA is taking aggressive steps to expand federal contracting opportunities and support to small businesses. The U.S. General Services Administration recently launched a new Mentor-Protégé Program.

The goal of the program, sponsored by GSA’s Office of Small Business Utilization, is to motivate and encourage GSA Prime Contractors to partner with smaller companies and help them earn more business.

GSA recently received the highest possible rating on its Small Business Procurement Scorecard issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
