About the HUBZone Program

The Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZone) program, created by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), provides federal contracting assistance for qualified small business concerns (SBC) located in historically underutilized business zones in an effort to increase employment opportunities, investment, and economic development in such areas. The Government sets a goal of awarding at least three percent of federal contract dollars to HUBZone-certified companies each year. The government also gives preferential consideration to HUBZone businesses in full and open competition, as these businesses receive a 10 percent price evaluation preference in full and open contract competitions

One of the HUBZone contracts available is Sole-Source HUBZone Contracts. A Contracting Officer may award contracts to HUBZone small business concerns on a sole source basis without considering small business set-asides provided:
  • Only one qualified HUBZone small business can satisfy the requirement
  • Two or more qualified HUBZone SBCs are not likely to submit offers
  • The anticipated award price of the proposed contract, including options, will not exceed: 1) $6.5 million for a requirement within the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for manufacturing or 2) { million for a requirement within any other NAICS codes }
  • The requirement is not currently being performed by an 8(a) small business concern
  • The acquisition is greater than the simplified acquisition threshold
  • The HUBZone small business concern has been determined to be a responsible contractor with respect to performance; and
  • An award can be made at a fair and reasonable price
