• To be eligible for Federal Contracts and any of the preferential contracting programs you must first be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) www.sam.gov

To look up NAICS codes, go to http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/

Certify site at www.certify.sba.gov . This is where you can walk thru the “Am I Eligible” for different contracting programs. There are also “Prepare” and “Help” tabs you want to review. This site has every single detail you could ask for in providing checklists, videos, and “how to” type steps to go through the process for applying to the 8(a) Program and others.

Visit https://maps.certify.sba.gov/hubzone/map for updates on qualified areas!

So as a strategy, a business can be intentional about having an office in a Hubzone, and potentially become hub zone certified, 8a (if they are minority), veteran owned, WOSB etc.), checking as many boxes as possible? Can you explain more about the micro purchase threshold and simplified acquisition, particularly how do I access those as a certified or non-certified small and/or minority business?

Anything SBA is at www.sba.gov

To learn more about the VA Contracting Program go to https://www.va.gov/osdbu/verification/

For additional classes/events, please check the SBA South Carolina District Office calendar at https://www.sba.gov/offices/district/sc/columbia

is it possible to get the sba to set aside a contract for a certification category? if so, how?

To look up NAICS codes, go to http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/

Does the SBA have a link to verify if a business is in low income community ?

if you are already registered in SAM does that mean that a veteran’s business is certified as a service disabled business certification??

With respect to the HUB zone, if the business owner lives in a HUB zone and is an employee of the business, does the owner count toward the head count required to qualify for that designation?

How about 4426 Windemere Avenue

yes

THANKS
