Federal Procurement Programs
There are monthly orientation sessions on-site at the Entrepreneur Center to assist you in understanding how to be a subcontractor to the government and will assist you in completing your applications for 8(a) certification and SDB (small disadvantage business) certification. They will assist you in determining if your business is located in a HubZone, qualifying you for special set-asides.
