Woman Owned Small Business Registration (WOSB/EDWOSB)

The Woman Owned Small Business Program (WOSB) is designed to authorize federal contracting officers to set aside certain requirements for competition solely amongst WOSBs or economically disadvantaged women-owned small businesses (EDWOSBs). The main difference between these types of businesses is that EDWOSBs are owned by economically disadvantaged women. The Small Business Administration defines “economic disadvantage” as having a personal net worth of less than $750,000, adjusted gross yearly income averaged over the three years not exceeding $350,000, and the fair market value of all assets not exceeding $6 million. Businesses certified as EDWOSBs may be selected in smaller set-aside solicitations pools than businesses certified as WOSBs. Contracting officers must meet annual contracting goals by specifically limiting or setting aside certain solicitations for WOSBs or EDWOSBs.

Our EDWOSB (Economically Disadvantaged Woman Owned Small Business Registration) Registration includes filing and organizing of the following documentation to the WOSB Program Repository:
