HUBZone-certified businesses also get a 10 percent price evaluation preference in full and open contract competitions.  HUBZone-certified businesses can still compete for contract awards under other socio-economic programs they qualify for. The HUBZone program fuels small business growth in historically underutilized business zones with a goal of awarding at least three percent of federal contract dollars to HUBZone-certified companies each year.           \n      Topics: \n\nHUBZone Program Overview\nEligibility Requirements\nBenefits of Certification\nApplication Process\n\n\nInstructions: REGISTER HERE \nOnce registration has been done\, the Zoom link will be available thank you. \n\n \nRegistration Policies:\nRegistration and Fees: Payment of seminar fees may be made by check\, money order or credit card.
