HUBZone Certification is Opening Doors to Federal Contracting Dollars for the Small Businesses

FLORENCE, Ky. - Oct. 29, 2020 - PRLog -- It aims at bringing in the underutilized zones into mainstream economy. According to the federal norms, small businesses having HubZone Certification will come under this program. Such an attempt from the federal government is quite a charm for the small companies who cannot afford to participate in the open market of the corporate conglomerates.

As per the norms of SBA Hubzone program, 3% of federal contracts are reserved for the businesses owning HubZone Certification. This is offering a twofold benefit to the small companies who are employing people from the HubZone areas. First, it creates an employment opportunity for people in the underprivileged areas, secondly this program is becoming instrumental to bring those businesses into economy mainstream. Certainly it's a noble attempt on the federal government's part as it would reinforce the local economy to a large extent.

The program of Hubzone Certification was launched in 1998 by the US Congress, following the HubZone Empowerment Act. According to this, if you are a holder of HUBZone Certification, you can get a 10% pricing advantage over its competition bidding on the same government contract. As a result, when the federal contracting officers are purchasing off GSA Advantage, often a HUBZone reseller becomes less expensive than the manufacturer because of this 10% price preference. Statistics reveal that the HUBZone firms with GSA Schedules sell 350% more in terms of dollar volume than their small business peers. The best part is that the Certificate does not come with any expiry date. You will be fortunate with lifelong federal contracts once you have a HubZone Certification.
