8(a) Application, HUBZone, and WOSB Application Informational Workshop

Event description

During this informational webinar, we review three of the certification programs within Federal contracting - the Woman-Owned Small Business Set-Aside Program, the HUBZone Program, and the 8(a) Business Development Program. For all three programs, we discuss the eligibility criteria; the programmatic benefits for participants; and the process to pursue the certification.

8(a) Business Development Program is a business development program created to help small, disadvantaged businesses compete in the American economy and access the federal procurement market.

• Participants in the 8(a) business development program can receive sole source contracts up to $4 million for goods and services and $7 million for manufacturing.
• The federal government has a goal of awarding 5% of all dollars for federal prime contracts to 8(a) firms.
