During March 2023, the GovCon Chamber of Commerce is presenting a free business series to show women business owners how to succeed in federal contracting.
In this episode, Neil McDonnell looks back at how the HUBZone Chamber (now GovCon Chamber) pushed $3B to HUBZone small businesses in 2018.
This initiative successfully turnarounded a 20 year decline in the SBA #HUBZone program. The same is possible for the SBA's women business program
Women-owned small business contractors will succeed by:
- Using specific language to push for more contract opportunities set aside for #wosb competition
- Organizing strategic 'competimate' set-aside calls to radically increase overall responses to RFIs
- Shift from blaming government to taking responsibility for strategic business development and responses to RFPs
Women should be winning more federal government contracts. In 2022, there were 12 million women-owned small business and 85000 were registered to sell to the federal government. Unfortunately very few are winning contracts – far below the minimalist 5% SBA goal.
