Advocate for small business in the federal contracting and assist small businesses in meeting the requirements to compete for government contracts.

Other Information:

The SBA advocates on behalf of small business in the federal contracting world and administers several programs and services that assist small businesses in meeting the requirements to compete for government contracts, either as prime contractors or subcontractors. The Agency works to create an environment in which small businesses - including businesses owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, women, service-disabled veterans, and small businesses located in Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZones) - can maximize participation in federal government prime contracting and subcontracting. Under this program, SBA provides Certificate of Competency, Prime Contracting Assistance, Subcontracting Assistance, and works with other Federal agencies on goaling.
