Who We Are
The U.S. Department of Commerce is a cabinet level agency whose mission is to help make American businesses more innovative and competitive nationally and internationally.
![Page 4: U.S. Department of Commerce Strategies for MSIs Interested in Contract Opportunities](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e495503460f94b3c57a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Commerce is comprised of 12 different bureaus and promotes job creation, economic growth, sustainable development and improved standards of living for all Americans by working in partnership with businesses, universities, communities and our nation’s workers.
Commerce’s mission encompasses international trade, economic development, technology standards, entrepreneurship and business development, environmental stewardship, and statistical research and analysis.

Teaming Opportunities:Grants and Contracts
We recommend that MSIs: Introduce themselves as potential sources
for services and products Demonstrate your understanding of our
programmatic mission and how you can effectively team with us.
![Page 35: U.S. Department of Commerce Strategies for MSIs Interested in Contract Opportunities](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e495503460f94b3c57a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Strategies for Teaming
Like many for-profit businesses with little Federal acquisition experience, it may be necessary for an MSI to team with another entity, e.g., another MSI, IHE, or small business.
Teaming takes the form of prime/subcontractor or joint venture.
