Small News Q4 FY25

A Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) Small Business Search is live!

Please visit to experience the system replacing DSBS.

It performs all the old DSBS functions in a modernized, updated interface at a far greater speed, with more functions to come!
 
Background: Transition from DSBS to SBS
  • The Small Business Search (SBS) portal is the SBA’s new, modernized platform for locating small businesses eligible for federal contracting opportunities.
  • SBS replaces and improves upon the Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) database, which had been in use for many years.
  • Key enhancements of SBS over DSBS include:
    • A more intuitive and user-friendly interface for both government and industry users.
    • Improved search filters and data accuracy, making it easier to identify qualified small businesses.
    • Enhanced integration with SAM.gov, ensuring up-to-date business profiles and certifications.
    • Streamlined access to business information, supporting market research and acquisition planning.
       
  • SBS continues to serve as the official source for federal agencies to locate SBA-certified and self-certified small businesses for set-aside and other contracting opportunities.
