Did you know the federal government sets aside certain contracts exclusively for businesses located in Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZones)? HUBZone-certified businesses can also receive preferential consideration when competing for federal contracts in full and open competition. If your small business is located in Humboldt, Del Norte, Siskiyou, Mendocino, Lake, Tehama, Glenn, or Colusa Counties, or in eligible areas of San Francisco or Alameda Counties, you may already qualify for HUBZone certification.
