The federal government’s goal is to award at least 5% of all federal contracting dollars to women-owned small businesses each year.<\/span><\/p>\n

To help provide a level playing field for women business owners, the government limits competition for certain contracts to businesses that participate in the Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contract program.<\/span><\/p>\n

These contracts are for goods and services in specific industries (identified via NAICS code) where WOSBs are underrepresented. Some contracts are restricted further to economically disadvantaged women-owned small businesses (EDWOSBs). SBA maintains\u00a0<\/span>a list of those eligible industries and their NAICS codes<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joining the WOSB Federal Contract program makes a business eligible to compete for federal contracts reserved for the program’s certified participants.\u00a0These contracts are known as \u201cset-asides.\u201d Provided they are eligible, WOSB-certified firms can still compete for contract awards under other socio-economic programs, including 8(a) and HUBZone.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is important to note that WOSB certification benefits only apply to\u00a0federal contracting opportunities, rather than those in the private sector<\/span><\/p>\n
