Beyond Goals
The Air Force Small Business Strategic Plan establishes a framework and key goals that will be used to help guide and measure progress as we move toward the future acquisition landscape. The plan considers the current acquisition environment and establishes a path forward that will be used to meet evolving requirements.
Strategic Plan Lays the Groundwork for Key Objectives
The Strategic Plan informs and constantly reminds us about what we need to be doing – to move beyond merely meeting the small business goals levied by Congress and the Administration and to strive to integrate the small business community as a critical part of the industrial base. The Strategic Plan lays the groundwork for:
- Utilizing the small business community to help achieve Air Force mission success
- Delivering the right small business options and solutions to our customers
- Increasing the awareness of small business capabilities and their contributions to the Air Force community
- Capitalizing on the diverse capabilities and skills of Air Force small business specialists who are focused discovering unmatched capabilities in the small business community
- Communicating with internal and external audiences to advocate for small businesses and the capabilities they bring to the Air Force mission
- Fostering the development of small business solutions that are critical to mission requirements
The Air Force Small Business Strategic Plan emphasizes that the value of small business is measured by what small businesses contribute to the mission and priorities of the Air Force. Together, we are a team that delivers value that cannot be derived by any other means.
