SDV INTERNATIONAL participates in the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contracting Program.
The federal government's goal is to award at least 5% of all federal contracting dollars to women-owned small businesses each year.
Program benefits
To help provide a level playing field for women business owners, the government limits competition for certain contracts to businesses that participate in the Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contracting program.
These contracts are for specific industries where WOSBs are underrepresented. Some contracts are restricted further to economically disadvantaged women-owned small businesses (EDWOSBs). SBA maintains a list of those eligible industries and their NAICS codes.
Joining the WOSB Federal Contracting Program makes a business eligible to compete for federal contracts set aside for the program. Firms can still compete for contract awards under other socio-economic programs they qualify for.
