Small Businesses - Making a Difference
DIRECTOR'S NOTE
Greetings! It is indeed a privilege
for me to address you in this our
first newsletter edition. Thanks to
all of you who have supported the
Agency's Small Business Program
over the years. It has been more
than four years now since I have
been assigned to serve as the Di-
rector of OSDBU. We have made
many accomplishments together Jeanette L. Brown, Director
as a team. Thanks!
taged, small disadvantaged, service dis-
abled veteran, hubzones, women-
owned, tribally-owned, small businesses,
HBCUs, minority colleges and univer-
sities are included in the process. We
want to ensure that our constituents are
involved in EPA programs aimed at fos-
tering and furthering economic devel-
opment. Programs such as Brownfields
and Superfund quickly come to mind.
As the country is experiencing the biggest eco-
nomic boom on record, it is my hope that all
sectors of the economy benefit greatly in this
prosperity. The focus is on economic develop-
ment and sustainable development. The emer-
gence of small business has created more op-
portunities and collaborative efforts among lo-
cal municipalities, economic and community
development agencies, state governments, fi-
nancial institutions as well as colleges, univer-
sities and tribal entities. OSDBU's goal is to
ensure that the socioeconomically disadvan-
Although the small business programs are changing
to comply with federal laws, they continue to be a
viable source for growth and development for many
small firms. We can achieve a safer, cleaner environ-
ment with the participation of ALL.
To date, the Agency has met or exceeded the major-
ity of its FY 2001 goals. We have increased contract
awards to women-owned businesses and met goals
established by the SBA. None of this can happen with-
out your continued support, so I again thank you.
Welcome
New EPA
Administrator
On December 22, 2000,
Christine Todd
Whitman, former Gov-
ernor of New Jersey, was
named by President
George W. Bush as EPA Administrator. She
grew up in Hunterdon County, N.J., and earned
a bachelor's degree in government from
Wheaton College in Massachusetts.
Whitman was the first woman governor of New
Jersey in 1993 and served two terms. Prior to
becoming governor, she headed the New Jersey
Board of Public Utilities and the Somerset
County Board of Freeholders. As governor, Christine
Todd Whitman proposed the state's first stable source
of funding for land preservation, a 10-year plan to
save forever 1 million acres of open space and farm-
land. By 2010, New Jersey will have permanently pre-
served 40 percent of its total land mass, with more
than half of it pledged or preserved during her ten-
ure.

SmallBizMall.gov
Celebrates 1st Anniversary
April 3, 2001 marked the first anniversary of
SmallBizMall.gov, the first government e-commerce
portal dedicated to ordering from 8 (a) small and dis-
advantaged information technology businesses.
SmallBizMall.gov proves itself to be a mainstay in the
federal e-commerce marketplace at a time when other
e-commerce sites still struggle to survive.
SmallBizMall.gov, was developed by CeKA Technolo-
gies, Inc., a Vienna, Virginia 8(a) firm, along with
their partner, Onlinesuppliers.com (OLS) and is the
first government website that showcases 8 (a) small and
disadvantaged businesses. Federal clients who do busi-
ness on the mall may receive 8 (a) or small disadvan-
taged credit for their purchases. The mall also fea-
tures comparison shopping, quantity discounts, spe-
cial pricing and safe, secure transaction processing.
Government buyers can browse, shop and buy on line,
24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Additional information about SmallBizMall.gov or
the SBSDC may be found on the web at
www.fast.sdc.gsa.gov or by calling 1-877-327-8732.
Rulemaking Draft
Proposed DBE Rule
EPA is in the process of promulgating regulations to
implement its MBE/WBE Fair Share Policy. The
Policy requires States, Indian Tribes, Trust Territories
and other organizations, that will receive financial as-
sistance from EPA, to make good faith efforts to award
a portion of their procurement dollars to MBEs and
WBEs. The Fair Share Policy applies to contracts and
subcontracts for construction, equipment, supplies
and services.
OSDBU anticipates issuing a proposed rule this fis-
cal year; and anticipates issuing a final rule by the
end of calendar year 2002. To review the draft rule,
visit our website at www.epa.gov/osdbu. For fur-
ther information, call 202-564-4100.

The Federal government
purchases millions of dollars
in goods and services each
year that range from paper
clips to complex space ve-
hicles. It is the policy of the
United States, as stated in the
Small Business Act, that all
businesses have the maxi-
mum practicable opportu-
nity to participate in provid-
ing goods and services to the
government. To ensure that
small businesses get their fair
share, the SBA negotiates an-
nual procurement preference
goals with each Federal
agency and reviews each
agency's results. The SBA is
responsible for ensuring that
the statutory government-
wide goals are met in the ag-
gregate.

WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES
Congress Boosts
Small Women-Owned Businesses
We are pleased to inform you that Congress gave SBA
the authority for a restricted competition program for
women-owned small businesses (WOSB) just before
the close of the last session.The legislative authority
is in 8(m) of SBA's reauthorization bill and is now
Pub. L. 106554.
The Office of Federal Contract Assistance for Women
Business Owners (CAWBO) in the Office of Gov-
ernment Contracts (GC) is moving forward to imple-
ment this legislation. SBA is developing a plan work-
ing with their legal and policy offices to draft revi-
sions to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
The "competition restriction" is not mandatory, but
is a tool agencies may use to help them award more
of their contracts to WOSB. As you know, in FY
1999 WOSBs received 2.5 percent of the total fed-
eral procurement. While some agencies far exceeded
the 5 percent goal, SBA appreciates the assistance pro-
vided by many to achieve this new program for
WOSBs. SBA wants the implementation to be effec-
tive and to reflect your insights. Therefore, SBA is
requesting that you communicate any suggestions
about implementation to Sheryl J. Swed, Assistant Ad-
ministrator for the Office of Federal Contract Assis-
tance for Women Business Owners (CSWBO).
You may contact Ms. Swed at 202-205-6413 or
sheryl.swed@sba.gov.

CONTRACT
Alaskan Indian Tribe
Awarded Largest 8(a)
Tribal Contract Ever
EPA, in concert with the U.S. Small Business Ad-
ministration, announced the award of a $65 mil-
lion contract to the Arctic Slope Regional Corpora-
tion (ASCR) Aerospace, a small, disadvantaged busi-
ness enterprise founded by Inupiat Eskimos. Under
its new contract with EPA, ASRC Aerospace will
provide information management, records manage-
ment and library support services at EPA offices na-
tionwide for up to five years. This is the largest con-
tract ever awarded by EPA to an Indian tribe or an
Alaskan Native Corporation. The contract was
awarded under authority of the Business Opportu-
nity Development Reform Act of 1988 (Public Law
100-656), which permits noncompetitive awards to
small, disadvantaged tribal firms to provide busi-
ness development opportunities.
CONTRACT
OPPORTUNITIES
•EPA is continuing to update its contracting strat-
egy for the Superfund program.This program ad-
dresses the clean up of abandoned hazardous waste
sites. It is EPA's largest contracting program. Ex-
cluding replacement contracts for site cleanup
(which are still being reviewed) and laboratory
analyses, implementation plans call for the award
of 77 contracts, including 33 (about 43%) set-aside
for small businesses and 8(a)s. Although most of
these contracts have been awarded, approximately
15 remain to be awarded. Additional contracts are
also planned for laboratory analyses.We commend
the Superfund program for its efforts in increasing
contracting opportunities for small businesses. Keep
your eye on EPA's acquisition website
(www.epa.gov/oam) for these and other contract-
ing opportunities with EPA. In addition, review the
"Forecast of Contracting Opportunities" at the same
website.
A Small Business Victory
in Region IV
Region IV is proud to have three 8 (a) contracts in
areas once dominated by large umbrella type con-
tracts and businesses. The most recent award is a
one-of-a-kind contract for the acquisition of site as-
sessment services and chemical safety audits. The
fixed rate hybrid contract represents a significant
commitment for this 8(a) certified contractor. In
addition to these contracts, Region IV also has four
other major program contracts which have been
awarded to small businesses.
WOSB Awarded
Region IX Contract
On September 29, 2000, Region IX awarded an ID/
IQ contract. The contract for Laboratory Analyti-
cal Services for Organic and Inorganic Samples went
to EMAX Laboratories, Inc., Torrance, CA, a small
minority and woman-owned business. The contract
was solicited as a 100% small business set-aside.
•Mr. David Curtis, Acting Director, Office of Equal
Opportunity for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid
Transit Authority (MARTA) announced in a meet-
ing with the Metro Intergovernment Association of
Equal Opportunity Officials (MIAEOO) that
MARTA has many opportunities for MBEs/WBs.

Curtis at 404-848-5114.

Launches Brown
Bag Luncheon
April 25th marked the beginning of a unique series
of meetings for EPA officials and the business com-
munity. Known as the Brown Bag Luncheon Initia-
tive, vendors are presented an opportunity at lunch
time to learn how they can sharpen their efforts to
market their commodity or service to the EPA. Spon-
sored by OSDBU and Howard University School of

teract with contract officers and procurement offi-
cials face to face.
Jeanette Brown, Director of OSDBU, in launching
the once-per-month luncheons, stated "EPA's
OSDBU's mission is to advocate the use of qualified
small disadvantaged, hub zone, and women-owned
businesses in assisting the agency in meeting its mis-
sion. For this reason, VENDORS are encouraged to
acquire VITAL information from our series of Brown
Bag Luncheons."
Franklin H. Carpenter, Director of the EPA/Howard
University Outreach Center observes, "You will ex-
perience in an informal environment the sharing of
information with the EPA community, the business
community and cameo appearances by notable per-
sonalities. Conversation between presenter and lun-
cheon guest is expected."
The Brown Bag Luncheons will convene once per
month from 12:00 p.m to 1:00 p.m. on the follow-
ing dates: April 25th, May 23rd, June 20th, July 25th,
August 22nd, September 20th, October 24th, No-
vember 15th, and December 5th.

Region VIII Loses
Preferred 8(a) Firm
ISSI, which held various EPA contracts, suffered fi-
nancial and management difficulties that were un-
able to be corrected. Unfortunately, this resulted in
their losing several Region VIII contracts. Despite
our efforts we were unable to place other 8(a) firms
in some of the tasks because of time critical issues.
However, we reacted positively and assisted the pro-
gram staff with identifying suitable replacements.
In one contract where ISSI was performing
Superfund Community Relations Support services,
we assisted in finding an 8(a) firm, Golden Rule,
which we hope will eventually fill the void left by
ISSI.
Clyde Loasso, Mark Caban and Maureen Martin of
our Regional contracting and procurement staff dem-
onstrated outstanding customer service qualities dur-
ing these extremely difficult times. EPA remains com-
mitted to the 8(a) program.

on December 29, 2000, after
