SSP Procurement places significant emphasis on maximizing subcontracting opportunities with small, small disadvantaged, small woman owned, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns in both the local and national marketplace. This emphasis, although the primary responsibility of the SSP Procurement organization, is shared by all functional areas of SSP involved in the acquisition process.
Acquisitions undertaken by SSP are, to the maximum extent practicable, handled via a competitive bidding process with the resultant subcontract being awarded to the lowest/technically acceptable bid offering the best value to the government. All SSP Procurement personnel are required to comply with a stringent code of professional ethics and conduct, and all current and potential suppliers are expected to do the same.
