8(a) Program
A 9-year SBA program for socially and economically disadvantaged business owners.
The 8(a) Business Development program is the SBA's flagship program for socially and economically disadvantaged business owners. It runs for nine years and is the strongest set-aside lane.
Its power: agencies can sole-source to 8(a) firms up to roughly $4.5M ($7.5M for manufacturing) — an award with no competition at all.
