The SBA's 8(a) BD Program, named for a section of the Small Business Act, is a business development program created to help small disadvantaged businesses compete in the American economy and access the federal procurement market.

Subcontracting- All subcontracting plans for large business Federal contractors must include Small Disadvantaged subcontracting goal.

  31. What is a HUBZone ??? HUBZone Empowerment Contracting Program The term HUBZone comes from the phrase, "Historically Underutilized Business Zone“ The HUBZone Empowerment Contracting Program is designed to stimulate economic development and create jobs in urban and rural communities by providing federal contracting preferences to small businesses. These preferences go to small businesses that obtain HUBZone certification by being located in a HUBZone designated area or employing staff who live in such an area.   

  32. Federal Contract Benefits – There are four types of HUBZone contract opportunities: Competitive: Contracts can be set-aside for HUBZone competition when the contracting officer has a reasonable expectation that at least two qualified HUBZone small business concerns (SBCs) will submit offers and that the contract will be awarded at a fair market price. Sole-source: HUBZone contracts can be awarded if the contracting officer determines that: only one qualified HUBZone SBC is responsible to perform the contract, two or more qualified HUBZone SBCs are not likely to submit offers and the anticipated award price of the proposed contract, including options, will not exceed $3 million for a requirement within all non-manufacturing NAICS codes. Full and open competitive contracts can be awarded with a price evaluation preference. The offer of the HUBZone small business must not be 10 percent higher than the offer of a non-small business.

Status as a service-disabled veteran-owned small business concern is determined in accordance with 13 CFR Parts 125.8 through 125.13.

  34. Service Disabled Veteran Owned SB ??? A Contracting Officer may set aside a procurement for SDVOSB competition – (1) Offers will be received from two or more service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns; and (2) Award will be made at a fair market price. (Sole source)
