WHO WE ARE
HUBZone Contractors National Council
�
The HUBZone Council is a 501(c)(6) non-profit trade association comprised of a group of companies and organizations working together to improve and support the HUBZone program and small business community. The Council was established to monitor public policy and promote action in support of the well-being of the HUBZone program.

COLLABORATE
Working together to improve opportunities for HUBZone small businesses and the communities they support

HUBZone Contractors National Council
�
WHAT WE DO
Legislative Reform
Programs bound by regulatory and statutory requirements are only as effective as the laws that bind it. The Council has been working closely with Congressional representatives on program refinements.
Increase HUBZone Spending
Since the government has never met its HUBZone goal of 3%, the HUBZone council is dedicated to fighting for better acquisition practices to maximize the ability to compete not limit them. The HUBZone Council supports the expansion of sole sourcing as a means to meet small business goals.
Economic & Community Development
To many of the members of our organization the HUBZone program is more than a federal contracting program, it is a means to facilitate job creation and economic growth within the communities that need it most.

WHY WE DO IT
Legislative Suggestions
Expand the RISE ACT to include Large Business subcontracting Goals Many small businesses lack the bandwidth, resources or bonding capacity to prime many of these contracts. By extending this to large business subcontracting goals it will significantly improve these companies chances of receiving a contract award.
Sole Source Parity: The Council supports reforming the structure of the sole source requirements, allowing agencies to leverage sole source authority in order to meet the HUBZone small business goal.
Price Evaluation Preference:
Consider 10% price evaluation preference at the task order level vs contract award to increase small business participation in Full & Open IDIQ’s.
Expand Highway Trust Fund to include HUBZone Small Businesses:
Presently, HUBZone SBC’s are excluded from competing for opportunities funded under the DOT Trust Fund which is approximately 2.3 Billion dollars.
SMALL BUSINESS THREATS
Category Management
An acquisition strategy used by the federal government on 10 categories of goods and services, seeks to reduce government buying through direct contracts and bolster through large contracts with sizeable task orders.
809 Panel
The DOD Section 809 Panel suggested to get rid of small business set asides.
Subcontracting Enforcement
Presently there is little to no recourse for prime contractors that fail to meet their small business subcontracting goals.
