State of Maryland Small Business Reserve Program
Small Business Reserve Number: SB12-24590
The state of Maryland is committed to the growth and success of small businesses. In 2004, the State created the Small Business Reserve (SBR) Program which provides small businesses the opportunity to participate as prime contractors on State contracts and procurements by establishing a unique marketplace where small businesses compete against other small businesses instead of larger, more established companies. Once a solicitation has been designated as “SBR,” an award can only be made to a registered SBR vendor.
