Our Mission

The federal government sets aside certain contract bid opportunities exclusively for U.S. Small Business Administration-designated small businesses.

The Sacramento District aggressively seeks ways to increase participation by small businesses in future contract awards in order to meet assigned goals for small, disadvantaged, historically underutilized business zones (or HUBZone) and small women-owned businesses.

For more information, please call our small business deputy at 916-557-7641.
