About this event
Each year, SBA aims to award at least 3 percent of federal contract dollars to HUBZone-certified companies. Program participants are eligible to compete for set-aside government contacts where their competition is restricted to only specified contractors. HUBZone's primary goal is job creation and increased capital investment in distressed communities. In addition, participants receive a 10 percent price evaluation preference in full and open government contract competitions.
Being part of the HUBZone program allows a small business to continue its commitment to create jobs and help stimulate economic development in urban and rural communities that have been designated as HUBZones.
