What is the SBA WOSB Program and its benefits?
- The Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract Program provides equal access to federal contracting opportunities for women-owned small businesses (WOSB) and economically disadvantaged women-owned small businesses (EDWOSBs). The program allows contracting officers to set aside specific federal contracts for WOSBs and EDWOSBs.
There are over 300 6-digit North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) codes that are eligible for Federal contracting under the WOSB Program. Click here to download a a list.
Contracting officers may set aside a requirement for WOSBs if:
The NAICS code is in an industry in which SBA has designated that WOSBs are
substantially underrepresented.
The contracting officer has a reasonable expectation that two or more WOSBs will submit
offers.
The anticipated award price of the contract does not exceed $6.5 million in the case of
manufacturing contracts and $4 million in the case of all other contracts.
The contracting officer believes the contract can be awarded at a fair and reasonable
price.
Contracting officers may set aside a requirement for EDWOSBs if:
The NAICS code is in an industry in which SBA has designated that EDWOSBs are
underrepresented.
The contracting officer has a reasonable expectation that two or more EDWOSBs will
submit offers.
The anticipated award price of the contract does not exceed $6.5 million in the case of manufacturing contracts and $4 million in the case of all other contracts.
In the estimation of the contracting officer, the contract can be awarded at a fair and
reasonable price.

- Be a small business that is at least 51% percent unconditionally and directly owned and
controlled by one or more women who are United States citizens.
Have a woman manage the day-to-day operations, make long-term decisions for the
business, hold the highest officer position in the business and work at the business full-

disadvantaged”.
Have an economically disadvantaged woman manage the day-to-day operations, make

preceding the certification is less than $350,000, and the fair market value of all her
