Learn About the OCC's Supplier Diversity Program 

The OCC exceeds annual U.S. Small Business Administration goals, including awards to small businesses, 8(a) participants, women-owned small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and historically underutilized business zone-certified small businesses. The OCC is also committed to increasing opportunities and providing technical assistance to minority- and women-owned businesses. The OCC’s Small Business Program and Business Activities Program work together to increase diversity in the agency’s procurement activities. For more information, please visit the OCC’s Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) web page.

How the OCC Procures Goods and Services

For most contracting needs, the OCC uses U.S. Government Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contracts, Governmentwide Acquisition Contracts (GWAC), and Multi-Agency Contracts (MAC).

For items not available through multiple award contracts, the OCC posts requests for proposals on the Federal Business Opportunities website.

Acquiring goods and services at the OCC consists of two phases, awarding contracts and contract administration. The OCC’s Acquisition Management (AQM) Division has two teams that provide assistance during each phase of the acquisition process.

To better understand the phases of the acquisition process, refer to the Roadmap Through Contract Administration (PDF).
