The OSDBU maximizes contract opportunities for small businesses while advancing the DOE's mission.
To execute and support its mission, the OSDBU has developed three Strategic Objectives:
- Objective 1: Make it easier for small businesses to do business with the DOE.
- Objective 2: Maximize small business opportunities by cultivating more productive relationships with internal DOE stakeholders.

The Strategic Objectives are achieved through use of the following Enabling Activities:
- OSDBU Staff and Cadre of Small Business Program Managers (SBPMs);
- Education and Resources;
- OSDBU Compliance Requirements; and
- Inreach/Outreach.
