Program Overview
The Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZone) program helps small businesses in urban and rural communities gain preferential access to federal procurement opportunities. The HUBZone empowerment contracting program provides federal contracting opportunities for qualified small businesses located in distressed areas. The program falls under the auspices of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). The SBA regulates and implements the HUBZone program. SBA does the following:
- Determines which businesses are eligible to receive HUBZone contracts
- Maintains a listing of qualified HUBZone small businesses that federal agencies can use to locate vendors
Designated Areas
To qualify for the HUBZone program, your business must be located in an area designated as a HUBZone. You may determine if an address or a particular area is designated as a HUBZone by using the
SBA HUBZone map tool.
