Statement by Secretary Jeh C. Johnson on DHS Receiving an “A+” Grade on the SBA Annual Small Business Procurement Scorecard

For the Sixth year in a row, the Department of Homeland Security has earned top scores on the Small Business Administration’s Annual Small Business Procurement Scorecard.  The DHS Small Business Program continues to be one of the Department’s flagship procurement initiatives.
