There’s good news for small businesses seeking to do work with the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education. The entity is managed by Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU), which committed to awarding 69 percent of its subcontracts in support of ORISE work to small businesses in FY13. When the numbers were tallied, more than 80 percent of subcontracts were awarded to small businesses. For its accomplishments, ORAU received the U.S. Department of Energy’s “Facility Management Contractor Small Business Achievement of the Year” award. Read the ORAU release here.
