Small-business set-asides
A share of Florida's federal contracting is reserved for small businesses through set-aside programs (small business, 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB). If your firm qualifies, these can be the most winnable transportation opportunities.
Eligibility rules are specific and change. Check SBA.gov and verify your eligibility before relying on any set-aside. Educational, not a determination that you qualify.
