At EDC, we believe that supporting small businesses—whether small disadvantaged, small woman-owned, small veteran-owned, small service-disabled veteran-owned, small LGBTQ+, or small HubZone firms—is essential for driving economic growth. We are dedicated to ensuring that these businesses have access to government-funded subcontracting opportunities.
Our goal is to partner with the best providers. We award subcontracts to small businesses that demonstrate the capability to meet all requirements, including price, technical capabilities, and service delivery.
Certification Requirements:
- Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned and HubZone Firms: Must be formally certified by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
- Other Small Business Categories: May self-certify; no third-party certification is required.
