In this episode of the Contracting Officer Podcast, Kevin Jans and Shelley Hall talk about a major update that affects how the government finds small businesses. The old tool—Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS)—is gone. It’s been replaced by the new Small Business Search (SBS) platform as of July 2025.
SBS makes it easier for contracting officers and prime contractors to find small businesses. It’s faster, easier to use, and shows better results. If you’re a small business, this tool helps you get noticed. If you’re in government, it helps you find the right companies faster. Kevin and Shelley explain what’s new, why it matters, and how you can use SBS to your advantage. Whether you’re in government or a contractor, this episode will help you stay ahead.
