About the HUBZone Certification
The HUBZone program is designed to facilitate the participation of small businesses in specific geographical areas in federal procurement endeavors. HUBZone designations are typically granted to regions with low median household incomes or high unemployment rates. The program's overarching goal is to allocate at least three percent of federal contract dollars to HUBZone-certified companies annually, encouraging government agencies to prioritize bids from such businesses.
