How can a firms eligibility as a HUBZone participant be challenged?
The specific process for challenging a firm’s eligibility as a HUBZone participant is detailed in the SBA’s operating regulations. Generally, these regulations allow an interested party to challenge the accuracy of an existing certification based on allegedly falsified applicant information or substantive changes that might have occurred since certification was first obtained. The SBA will have final authority in this regard.
