Greetings,
The U.S. Small Business Administration is conducting two HUBZone education and training events. The Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) Program Boot Camp is designed to introduce your business to the program, help determine whether your business is eligible for the program, and support your business’ efforts to participate in the program.
Every year, the federal government awards over $500 billion in contracts, and a significant share of those contracts are specifically allotted to small businesses. SBA works with federal agencies to assist them in identifying and awarding contracts in order to meet the 23% statutory goal of government-wide small business prime contracting. Agencies are also required to award 3% of contracts to small businesses located in historically underutilized business zones (HUBZones).
SBA encourages small businesses to learn more about the HUBZone program and take advantage of this federal contracting opportunity. This training event will provide information on applying for HUBZone certification and if you are already HUBZone certified, this event will provide information on identifying HUBZone contract opportunities.
