How Do You Apply For A Small Disadvantaged Minority Business Certification?
In order to apply for a Small Disadvantaged Minority Business Certification, the applicant must be a small business as defined in SBA rules and regulations. The business must be at least 51 percent unconditional owned and controlled by one or more U.S. citizens who are socially and economically disadvantaged. SBA certifies small disadvantaged businesses to make them eligible for special bidding benefits. Register your business in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database at http://www.ccr.gov. This is required in order to be eligible for certification. CCR is the primary registrant database for the U.S. Federal Government. CCR collects, validates, stores and disseminates data in support of agency acquisition missions. Your SBA customer ID number is generated when you enter your data in the SBA Supplemental pages of the CCR. This number is used to identify your firm in the SBA portion of the CCR database and is required on your application. Take an online training course prior
