Business opportunities abound at Joint Base Andrews:

Alliance members have performed tasks ranging from poster printing to building a runway.

There has been a growing emphasis on small business contracting opportunities and an increase in contracting goals on Andrews that significantly exceed Air Force small business goals. Local businesses, even with overall contracting dollars shrinking, saw $4 million more dollars in FY2011 than in the previous year. Alliance members are encouraged to attend the biannual Team Andrews Business Summits—available to all members of the Andrews Alliance—held to afford entrepreneurs an excellent insight into the personnel and procedures employed by the Contracting Squadron and their partners on JBA, including the Air Force District of Washington (AFDW).
