DAP offers opportunities to directly interact with procurement decision makers.

Direct Access Program (DAP)

The Direct Access Program (DAP), managed by OSDBU, offers unique opportunities for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), and other small businesses to build partnerships and maximize networking through structured events.
DAP events include a variety of formats tailored to foster collaboration and growth. The prospectus of services includes business opportunity sessions where entrepreneurs can explore potential contracts and projects, one-on-one sessions that facilitate direct connections with key stakeholders, and virtual demonstrations showcasing innovative products and services. Additionally, the program hosts virtual information sessions that offer critical insights and guidance on navigating the complexities of the market.
Through these engagements, SDVOSB, VOSB, and other small businesses have opportunities to:
  • Engage with representatives from Federal agencies and commercial firms to build business relationships;
  • Learn about industry-specific trends, developments and procurement opportunities to help support business growth; and
  • Network with other businesses to identify and discuss possible subcontracting and teaming opportunities.
For more information on DAP events, please visit the OSDBU events calendar. For archived training, please visit the OSDBU YouTube channel.
