Answer
Is my address in a HUBZone?
A HUBZone is an SBA-designated Historically Underutilized Business Zone where certified small businesses get set-aside federal contracts and a 10% price preference. Many South and West Side Chicago corridors qualify — check your address to confirm.
What to know
- Your principal office must be in a HUBZone and 35% of employees must live in one.
- Certified firms can compete for HUBZone set-aside federal contracts.
- You also receive a 10% price evaluation preference in full and open bidding.
- HUBZone maps update periodically, so verify current status on the SBA map before certifying.
