Why the SBA 8(a) Program Makes “Cents” |
There are a number of excellent reasons – literally billions -- for you to determine if your company qualifies for 8(a) and/or SDB certifications.
The most recent contract figures for the two programs were $5.8 billion and an additional $7.2 billion respectively.
The Small Business Administration's 8(a) Program was created in 1974 to help minority and other disadvantaged businesses to grow through a program of federal contracting preferences and set-asides. Through the program, eligible firms can be awarded federal government contracts on a sole-source or non-competitive basis.
To be a truly effective business development vehicle, today's 8(a) Business Development Program is much stronger.
