SBAIC is a membership organization established to promote utilization of small businesses at U.S. government agencies.
About us
SBAIC currently has over 200 small business members spread across nearly 25 U.S. states, of which more than half are small disadvantaged businesses (i.e., HubZone, minority-owned, 8(a), woman-owned, veteran-owned). Our members work in every development sector, including agriculture and food security, democracy, human rights and governance, economic growth and trade, education, environment and global climate change, gender equality and women’s empowerment, global health, science, technology and innovation and working in crisis and conflict. With an average of 15 years of U.S. federal government experience, each of our members brings a wide range of expertise in business intelligence and analytics, capacity building, disaster response, economic development, education, gender analysis, IT, knowledge management, public financial management, tourism, workforce development. Our small business members are prime contractors on 80 percent of the work we implement, and many of the contracts are equivalent in size and complexity to those held by larger entities. Contracts range from $100,000 to $42 million. These contracts are managed using U.S. government compliant financial and program management systems. Staffed by development entrepreneurs, former U.S. government staff and large-business executives, our small businesses operate with a combination of seasoned oversight, agility and innovation characteristic of smaller organizations. SBAIC was established in the early 2000s by a dedicated group of U.S. small businesses working in international development to promote small business utilization at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

Last week, Small Business Association for International Companies (SBAIC) attended USAID's 15th Annual Small Business Conference "Partnering for Impact: Equity in Procurement". We were able to engage in important discussions surrounding emerging trends such as localization and small business partnerships, while networking with existing and prospective members, #USAID, small biz partners, and industry experts. We were overjoyed to hear SBAIC member CCI Group - Interpretation & Translation and CCI Group Founder, Indy Vega, received recognition in Administrator Samantha Power’s speech, highlighting the incredible interpretation services CCI Group provides to government agencies. “A lack of translation is a major barrier for local organizations looking to work with USAID, looking to access USAID funding and support. And CCI Group is directly addressing that barrier while also creating American jobs.” Finally, thank you USAID OSDBU, for a wonderful program filled with thought provoking discussion and small business impact. #USAIDSBCONF Administrator Power’s Speech: https://rb.gy/o536d9 Work with USAID: https://lnkd.in/eRfpHNeV
