Increased sanitation measures and supply shortages are as challenging for business owners as they are for families, Deneal said, adding that the cost of new protocols has slashed companies' revenue. Leading small businesses to potential DLA contracts is personally rewarding, McCall said, describing his work with a woman-owned small business that supplies flight vests. The focus on American small businesses began after the Great Depression, when many companies that provided parts the military needed for World War I folded. Today, DLA's small business specialists work with buyers and contracting officers to build acquisition strategies that attract small businesses to contracts worth over $10,000. While small businesses' overall role in pandemic support remains to be seen, Deneal added that he's been moved by the resilience of the American small business community. "We've gotten more and more small businesses owned by retired military or civil servants trying to provide things like N95 masks that they would get from 3M; so in some cases, we’re helping them learn how to do business with the government for the first time," McCall said.
