The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has launched a significant restructuring plan, resulting in 10,000 layoffs and the dissolution of its Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) staff, leaving only Executive Director Shannon Jackson. This initiative is part of a broader government efficiency strategy to shrink HHS from 28 divisions to 15 and reduce regional offices from ten to five. Despite staff layoffs, HHS claims compliance with statutory small business requirements, raising concerns among experts about the sustainability of such compliance through reduced oversight.
HHS's massive layoffs mark a significant organizational shift, reducing its employee count dramatically from 82,000 to 62,000, impacting small business support.
The elimination of the OSDBU staff raises concerns about meeting small business requirements, with critics questioning how one person can fulfill all obligations.
