In light of the statutory requirement in paragraph (b)(2)(H) of 10 U.S.C. 2337 Life-Cycle Management and Product Support for DoD Product Support Managers (PSM) “…to ensure that the product support strategy maximizes small business participation at the appropriate tiers”, encourage you to take a look at a new January 8, 2020 report from the Congressional Research Service (CRS) entitled “Small Business Administration: A Primer on Programs and Funding”. The new report provides an overview of the various Small Business Administration programs, as well as more general information about small business.

As a side note, DAU also offers a number of easily-accessible, web-based learning assets on the subject, including CLM 059 Fundamentals of Small Business for the Acquisition Workforce online training module, as well as three ACQuipedia articles entitled Small Business, Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs, and Small Business Set Asides respectively.
