    What’s the deal with HUBZone?
    The Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZone) program helps small businesses in urban and rural communities gain preferential access to federal procurement opportunities. The intent is to promote economic development and employment growth in distressed areas, by providing access to more federal contracting opportunities. The federal government has a goal of awarding 3% of all dollars for federal prime contracts to HUBZone-certified small business concerns.

    Understanding Government-ese
