3 Impact of this program Levels the playing field for WOSBs to compete for and win federal contracts Provides procuring agencies a tool to help meet their WOSB contracting goal (i.e., the Federal government must award 5% of its prime contracting dollars to WOSBs) Ultimately, the program helps create and retain more jobs for WOSBs Program overview The Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) program authorizes contracting officers to set aside certain federal contracts for eligible: Women-owned small businesses (WOSBs) or Economically disadvantaged women- owned small businesses (EDWOSBs) SBA is responsible for implementing and administering the program and the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council is responsible for implementing SBA’s program regulations in the FAR (part 19)

10 Does the WOSB have to perform any particular amount of work on a WOSB or EDWOSB contract or can it subcontract most of it out? Yes, the WOSB has to perform a certain amount of the work. This is often referred to as the limitations on subcontracting because it limits how much work a small business can subcontract out. These limits for this program are: For service contracts (that are not construction), the WOSB/EDWOSB must perform at least 50% of the cost of the contract for personnel with its own employees. For supply contracts (if you are the manufacturer), the WOSB/EDWOSB must perform at least 50% of the cost of manufacturing the supplies or products (not including the cost of materials). For general construction contracts, the WOSB/EDWOSB must perform at least 15% of the cost of the contract with your own employees (not including cost of materials). For specialty construction contracts, the WOSB/EDWOSB must perform at least 25% of the cost of the contract with your own employees (not including cost of materials).
