Registrations and certifications
Every federal bidder needs an active SAM.gov registration with a Unique Entity ID and a CAGE code, and the NAICS codes on it decide which size standards and set-asides apply. The SBA runs the 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB and veteran certifications; states and transit agencies run MBE, WBE and DBE programs. This category covers the registration steps, the time they take, what each certification requires and what it is worth.
