Topic: Government Contracting

Grab your lunch and join us the first Thursday of each month to learn more about SBA programs and network with other small business owners. Topic: HUBZone Do you own a small business and are interested in contracting with the federal government? Did you know that government limits competition for certain contracts to businesses in historically underutilized business zones (HUBZones)? It also gives preferential consideration to those businesses in full and open competition. Joining the HUBZone program makes your business eligible to compete for the program’s set-aside contracts.
