###         ALERT! The HUBZone map changed      

The HUBZone map changed on July 1, 2023. As of this date, your firm’s eligibility to participate in the program may have been impacted if your principal office is located, or your employees reside, in an area that no longer qualifies as a HUBZone.

To check if your business location and employees still meet the criteria for HUBZone certification, or for more information, visit our HUBZone program page.

## About our office

Small businesses in high-unemployment, low-income areas can receive an economic boost from the HUBZone contracting program. The HUBZone program provides contracting assistance to small businesses located in economically distressed communities, referred to as Historically Underutilized Business Zones, or HUBZones, to promote job growth, capital investment and economic development in these areas, including Indian reservations.The program’s benefits for HUBZone-certified companies include competitive and sole source contracting, a 10% price evaluation preference in full and open contract competitions, as well as subcontracting opportunities. The Federal government has a goal of awarding 3% of all dollars for Federal prime contracts to HUBZone-certified concerns.
