The U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) is committed to providing small, minority-owned and women-owned businesses with contracting opportunities to provide products and services throughout the agency as either prime contractors or subcontractors. Commitment to business diversity starts with its top leadership, as articulated by the Treasury Secretary. It is included in the strategic plan of the Department and progress is monitored by senior management on a regular basis. Additionally, attainment of small business goals is part of the performance objectives of all procurement officials. Treasury procures a broad array of good and services -- ranging from metals, inks and paper for the manufacture of coins and currency to information technology, office supplies and janitorial services to support the daily work of its employees. In recent years, Treasury has spent approximately $7 billion annually in contracts. More than one-third of small business eligible dollars have been awarded to small, minority-owned, and women-owned businesses. What Treasury Buys
