Women-owned Small Business Federal Contract Program

The SBA sponsors the Women-owned Small Business Federal Contract Program, to give women-owned businesses in certain SIC codes access to government contracts. These codes have been selected because there is an under-representation of women-owned businesses that receive contracts in these industries. There are two classifications: Women-owned Small Business (WOSB) and Economically Disadvantaged Women-owned Small Businesses (EDWOSB).

Businesses must be certified for this program. For a list of the SIC codes and the approved certification agencies, click below.
