"Woman-Owned Small Business Federal Contracting Program"

Thursday, January 21st
12:30 - 2:00pm

The federal government spends roughly $700 billion a year on goods and services, and at least 5% of that is required to go to small businesses owned and operated by women. To help provide a level playing field for women business owners in industries where they have been historically underrepresented, the federal government limits competition for certain contracts to businesses that participate in the women’s contracting program.

This free workshop, presented by a member of the local SBA team, will explain that program – known as the Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contracting Certification Program -- and how this certification can help your woman-owned small business get a piece of that federal contracting pie.

This overview presentation covers:

• The WOSB Program’s purposes and benefits – i.e., why you should be interested
• Considerations for deciding if certification is appropriate for you, including the industries/NAICS codes included in the program
• Eligibility requirements for certification
• How to become certified
• Tips for getting the most out of the WOSB certification
