SBA Portfolio of 8(a) Certified Business (8ACERT)

The Small Business Administration (SBA) offers the 8(a) Business Development Program, commonly referred to as the 8a certification, to assist small businesses that are owned by individuals who are considered socially and economically disadvantaged, by providing them access to government contracting opportunities. The data includes business information, tribal affiliation(if any), and program information.

The project review timeframes above do not apply to applications that request access to confidential data assets commingled with data that are either not owned, or are only co-owned, by the statistical agency(s) or unit(s) and require approval from third parties not subject to this policy (e.g., state and local government agencies)
