You have a unique edge in federal contracting as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) or an Economically-Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB). These certifications can open doors to lucrative contracts by reducing competition and giving you preferred status with federal agencies.
It's no secret that women entrepreneurs have been historically underrepresented. The ED/WOSB program is designed to turn the tide, but the process can be tricky. Once certified, finding the right contracts amidst the flood of daily solicitations can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.
The Certification Process, Simplified
Getting certified as a WOSB or EDWOSB requires some paperwork and online steps. You need to gather the right documents proving eligibility, create an account on login.gov, and then complete your certification on the SBA's certify.SBA.gov website. If you prefer, there are also third-party certifiers that can help.
Finding the Right Contracts
After certification, it's time to find contracts. Websites like SAM.gov, the DSBS tool, and individual federal agency websites are your go-to resources. You can search and filter to find contracts earmarked for WOSBs and EDWOSBs.

Navigating the entire process can feel overwhelming, but don't worry - US Federal Contractor Registration (USFCR) has you covered. USFCR can manage your SAM registration, take care of your WOSB or EDWOSB certification, and assist you in finding the best contracts.
