Is Sba Certified Hub Zone

Boolean or coded flag indicating whether the vendor's site is identified as SBA-certified HUBZone in the transaction record. The value is stored at the vendor site certification level, so it reflects a specific location/site rather than the award as a whole. Example value 0 typically means the certification condition is not met or not indicated.

  • Contractor profiling and competitor analysis

Common Usage

  • Identify awards involving SBA-certified HUBZone vendors

Query Guidance
