The Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZone) program helps small businesses in urban and rural communities gain preferential access to federal procurement opportunities. The government limits competition for certain contracts to businesses in historically underutilized business zones. Joining the HUBZone program makes a business eligible to compete for the program’s set-aside contracts and HUBZone-certified businesses also get a 10 percent price evaluation preference in full and open contract competitions.

The Orange County Economic Development Office worked with Innovation Orange, LLC. to successfully find a location and connect them with community business partners and resources.
