Small Business Administration Certification

The Small Business Administration certification is part of a contracting program that helps small companies compete for federal contracts. The government sets aside some of its contracts (both competitive set-aside and sole-source set-aside contracts) for small businesses each year to limit competition. That way, some government contracts go to small businesses rather than big corporations.
