Small Business set-asides — common questions

What is a small-business set-aside?expand_more

A contract reserved for small businesses. It's the broadest set-aside type — no special socioeconomic certification is required, only that you meet the SBA size standard for the solicitation's NAICS code.

How do I know if my business counts as small?expand_more

The SBA publishes a size standard (by employee count or annual revenue) for each NAICS code. Compare your firm against the standard for the code on the solicitation, and self-certify your size in SAM.gov.

Set-Aside Pro is an independent publication, not affiliated with the SBA, the VA, or SAM.gov. Certification rules change — confirm current eligibility with the SBA before bidding.
