Washington, DC – Effective May 30, 2023, the WOSB Federal Contract Program (WOSB Program) rule at 13 C.F.R. § 127.400(a) is revised to reflect that certified WOSB and EDWOSB firms are required to undergo a program examination every three years to maintain certification. Previously, WOSB Program participants had to annually attest to their eligibility to continue participating in the program. The rule change removes the annual attestation requirement.  

Every five years the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is required to produce a study to update the eligible NAICS codes for the WOSB Federal Contracting Program.
