The Historically Underutilized
Business Zone (HUBZone) program encourages small businesses
to locate in and hire from the nation’s most blighted
communities.
Small firms participating in the
program can receive competitive advantages in winning
federal contracts. Three percent of all federal contracting
dollars should be awarded to HUBZone firms annually.

The
presentation includes a general introduction to the Army
small business office as well as the guidance available
on their web site for finding HUBZone business.
For example, doing a Federal Supply Code search can help
identify what offices want to buy the goods and services
that a HUBZone firm has to sell.
The HUBZone
Council appreciates Lt. Col. Blanco authorizing us to
