ManTech International Corporation is committed to the mission and success of the small and disadvantaged business program of the U.S. Government and to continually support maximum practical opportunities for the Small/Small Disadvantaged Business community. This program continues to expand with a focus on the following communities:
- Small Business (SB)

- Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB)
- HUBZone Small Business (HUBZone)
- Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB)

In order to ensure the continued success of our small and disadvantaged business program, I would like to highlight the roles and responsibilities of Kim Bowley, the ManTech small business liaison officer (SBLO). As corporate SBLO, Kim is responsible for the following aspects of ManTech’s program:
• Corporate interface with government agencies, which have oversight for ManTech’s small business program (i.e. Defense Contract Management Agency, SBA);
• Coordinate government audits and facilitate any corrective actions required as a result of the audits;
• Maintain a corporate-wide database of vendors certified in the small business preferred categories listed above;
• Assist operations personnel in identifying vendor sources qualified to meet stated small business goals;
• Coordinate small business outreach efforts corporate-wide. This includes personally participating in annual small business conferences/shows and maintaining documentation on these activities performed by operations personnel;
• Preparation and submission of corporate wide small business reports;
• Coordinate with operations personnel to identify and document shortfalls on individual contracts;
• Prepare small business participation plans & small business sub-contracting plans; and
• Review and approval of small business subcontracting plans submitted with our proposals.
