Please join the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Vermont Procurement Technical Assistance Center (VT PTAC) for a free workshop on federal Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) certification.

March is Women’s History Month! The federal government has a reoccurring goal to spend not less than 5% of the total value of all prime contract and subcontract awards each fiscal year with women-owned small businesses. In FY2020, $27 Billion of eligible prime contracting dollars went to WOSBs!

This workshop is a deep dive into the new process SBA uses to certify Women-Owned Small Businesses. SBA ceased accepting self-certification for WOSB in 2020. Find out if you are qualified to participate, how to certify your business, and where to get help with the process!

Discussion topics include:

• WOSB overview
• WOSB certification benefits
• WOSB eligibility requirements
• WOSB online certification process
• WOSB documentation submission requirements
• SBA WOSB tools & resources
• VT PTAC available assistance with the application process

Presenters: Darcy Carter, SBA & Elizabeth Adams, VT PTAC
