HUBZone Certification
The Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZone) program helps small businesses in urban and rural communities gain preferential access to federal procurement opportunities. These preferences go to small businesses that obtain HUBZone certification in part by employing staff who live in a HUBZone. The company must also maintain a "principal office" in one of these specially designated areas.
The HUBZone office offers eligibility assistance on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. EST. Please call 1-888-858-2144 Access code 3061773# to this interactive helpline forumwhere HUBZone staff will present a specific eligibility topic followed by a general question and answer session. For a firm seeking specific status of its application or answers about the supporting documentation requested, it is best to E-mail the SBA HUBZone Business Opportunity Specialist working on the application because that person can provide the necessary individual assistance.
