Small Business Participation and Opportunities

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 22:56:24 GMT

The most likely areas for research and development opportunities will be in the areas of the Unconventional Natural Gas and Other Petroleum Resources Programs. When Program Administration subcontracting actions are identified, the small business community will be given maximum opportunities to compete for the work in this area. Each year during the development of the Annual Plan, RPSEA will work closely with the DOE to identify appropriate opportunities for the small business community. RPSEA will establish the small business goals related specifically to that year’s research and development projects and any additional program administration procurements. RPSEA Committment Statement RPSEA is committed to the fair and equal treatment of all vendors. It is the policy of the company that small business suppliers, including Small Disadvantaged Businesses, Woman-Owned Small Business, Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, Historically...
