What are the benefits of SDB Certification?

Under the government’s reformed affirmative action rules, small disadvantaged business are eligible for price evaluation adjustments of up to 10 percent when bidding on federal contracts in certain industries.

The program also provides evaluation credits for prime contractors who achieve SDB subcontracting targets. The program is intended to help federal agencies achieve the government-wide goal of 5 percent SDB participation in prime contracting.

The price evaluation credits are authorized in those two-digit industry categories, or SIC Codes, where the US Department of Commerce has determined that SDBs are underrepresented because of the effects of ongoing discrimination. SDBs are eligible to receive the credit when competing in the following industry categories:

Agriculture
