SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAM

Straub recognizes the positive impact and influence of small businesses in our construction industry. In support of this important client base, we offer continuous bid opportunities and mentoring services to the following small business categories:

• Minority institutions
• Service disabled veteran-owned
• Veteran-owned
• Women-owned
• Small disadvantaged
• Socially disadvantaged
• Economically disadvantaged
• HUBZONE
• Historically black college and university

Our Small Business Subcontracting Program is structured to facilitate easy communication between us and subcontractor; to allow for fast and efficient delivery of construction documents and files across the Internet, to ensure total Government compliance; and to utilize the latest technology in support of increasing small business participation in federally funded, public works, or university related construction projects. We believe our coordinated efforts have led to many new business opportunities for both our company and our small business clients.

If you are a small business interested in participating in our Small Business Subcontracting Program, we invite you to register your company with Straub by completing an Organization & History (O&H) form and returning it to Straub’s Small Business Liaison Officer (SBLO), Stacey Jeffers, who will provide continuous monitoring and support for our growing base of small business clients.
