By: Stratengy In February, 2011 the Small Business Administration (SBA) created a special contracting class for WOSB to facilitate the hiring process. Qualifying businesses can become WOSB certified, making them eligible for contracting set asides of five percent of agency budgets. The WOSB category is the result of findings that some types of small businesses are underrepresented in the federal contracting system. The WOSB Federal Contract Program allows contracting officers, for the first time, to set aside specific contracts for certified WOSBs and will help federal agencies achieve the existing statutory goal of five percent of federal contracting dollars being awarded to WOSBs. The President and CEO of Stratengy, Heather Clarke-Peckerman, comments, “This is a really exciting time for Stratengy. Now that we are a certified Woman-Owned Small Business, we will be able to bid for Federal Contracts and also become a preferred provider under our current clients Diversity Supply Program. This will allow our company to grow in new markets and provides us with a broader spectrum to serve new clients.” End
