Topic: Government Contracting

Small business owners are invited to a “Where’s the Money” Workshop, October 30. Federal agencies spend roughly $100 billion with small businesses on an annual basis. It was realized that that federal government contract awards to Women-Owned Small Business (WOSBs) were limited and a subsequent study listed industries in which women were underrepresented and substantially underrepresented in the award of federal contracts. To address this issue, the WOSB Contracting Rule was implemented February 4, 2011. If you are a woman owned small business and fall in one of the designated industries, you can position your company to bid on federal government set asides for WOSBs and economically disadvantaged women-owned small businesses (EDWOSBs). We invite you to attend the Where’s the Money Workshop to view a listing of the designated industries, learn how to position your company to bid on WOSB set-aside projects, and maneuver the www.fbogov web site to find WOSB opportunities. Additionally, the federal government has set-asides for operations located in economically distressed areas called historically underutilized business zones (HUB Zones). Eligibility criteria will be covered as well as how to access list of qualified HUB Zone areas. At this juncture, Lawrence County is a HUB Zone. Jacqueline Merritt, Economic Development Specialist with the U. S. Small Business Administration, will be presenting at the workshop on October 30 from 1:00 until 2:30pm at Columbia State Lawrence County Center. The workshop is sponsored in part by American’s Small Business Development Center, the Lawrence County Business and Professional Women, the Small Business Administration, and the Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce. Register today by calling Beth at the Chamber 931-762-4911. No charge to attend.
