About this Market

Entering the federal construction market can be a great opportunity, especially if your firm qualifies as a disadvantaged entity as determined by the Small Business Administration (SBA) -- HUBZone, 8(a), WOB, SDVOSB.

Unfortunately, many small businesses discover that their success in the federal market is meager at best. Even if you qualify for a disadvantaged designation by the SBA, there are no guarantees you will “make it” in the federal contracting arena.
