Women-owned small businesses take note, the Small Business Administration is changing the certification process for doing business with the federal government. Following a 2015 mandate from Congress, SBA will end the self-certification process for women-owned small businesses on October 15. This comes after the agency’s inspector general found contract awards were going to vendors that didn’t meet the criteria for the program. Business owners can already submit their applications under the new process. For more on what small businesses should expect, Federal News Network’s Jory Heckman spoke with a program manager in SBA Women’s Contracting Office, Alisa Sheard.
