What are the specific net worth and income thresholds for EDWOSB status in October 2026?

For EDWOSB status, the woman owner must have a personal net worth of less than $850,000, adjusted gross income of $400,000 or less averaged over the previous three years, and $6.5 million or less in personal assets. These thresholds are set by the SBA for the Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract program. Your firm's NAICS code does not change these personal financial requirements; they are standard for all EDWOSB applicants.

The SBA handles the certification for WOSB and EDWOSB concerns. You will need to apply to the SBA for this certification. There is no cost to apply to the SBA for WOSB or EDWOSB certification. You will submit documentation to verify these financial thresholds as part of your application. Make sure all your personal financial statements are current and accurate when you apply. State and local government contracting may have different requirements, which you would find in their specific procurement rules or vendor guides.
