Although entering the federal contracting arena can be challenging, there is opportunity for small businesses.  Solicitations under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) threshold are set-aside for small businesses reducing the competitive pool.  But how do you know if your business qualifies as “small”?  To add to the confusion, there are additional sub-categories under the small business umbrella: 8(a) Business Development Program, HUBZone, WOSB/EDWOSB or SDVOSB.

This is helpful information, but how do you apply it?  What do these acronyms mean?  Where do you begin?  Well, this webinar is a great place to start!  This webinar will review each of the small business set-aside programs focusing on:

  • Program eligibility requirements
  • Electronic application processes
  • Approval pitfalls and timelines

The webinar will end with a brief discussion on other state and commercial small business certification programs.
