Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone)

Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) Certification

The Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) program was established by the Small Business Administration (SBA) to help small businesses in both urban and rural communities. HUBZones are areas of the country that have been underutilized for federal contracting. Unlike other set-asides, such as WOSB, VOSB, and 8(a), the HUBZone set-aside has to do more with the location of the business and its employees.

Benefits for HUBZone-certified companies include:

The government limits competition for certain federal contracts to businesses in HUBZones. Obtaining HUBZone certification makes your business eligible to compete for the program’s set-aside contracts and a 10 percent price evaluation preference in open contract competitions.

Benefits for HUBZone-certified companies include:
