SBA 8(a) Certified / Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB)
Certification for SBA 8(a) / Small Disadvantaged Business
The federal government’s goal is to award at least five percent of all federal contracting dollars to small disadvantaged businesses each year.
To help provide a level playing field for small businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged people or entities, the government limits competition for certain contracts to businesses that participate in the 8(a) Business Development program.
