WOMEN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS (WOSB)

The WOSB Federal Contract Programs goal is to expand opportunities for WOSBs by providing a level playing field for competition. The Program allows WOSBs to compete for set-aside contracts or receive sole source awards in industries where women-owned small businesses are substantially underrepresented. It also enables Economically Disadvantaged WOSBs (EDWOSBs) to compete for set-aside contracts or receive sole source awards in industries where women-owned small businesses are underrepresented.

SERVICE-DISABLED VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS (SDVOSB)

The SDVOSB provides procuring agencies with the authority to set acquisitions aside for exclusive competition among service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns, as well as the authority to make sole source awards to service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns if certain conditions are met.
