Does a firm have to be certified as a small business by the Small Business Administration (SBA) in order to benefit from GSA's Small Business Program?
Small business status is a self-certification process. The self-certification process is also used for certification as a women-owned or a veteran-owned business. However, the process for certification as a small disadvantaged business, 8(a) or a business within a HUBZone is different. To attain status, SBA must certify you: Small Business -- Self-certification, 8(a) firms -- Certification by SBA, SDB -- Certification by SBA*, Women-owned -- Self-certification, HUBZone -- Certification by SBA, Veteran-owned -- Self-certification, Service-Disabled -- Self-certification.

Is it necessary that I have electronic commerce/electronic data interchange (EC/ED) capability to do business with GSA?
