Small Business Opportunities

As of January 1, 2004, Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and SBA's PRO-Net databases were integrated. This eliminated the need to register separately in both databases. A vendor need only input business information in one database (http://www.ccr.gov), which will then automatically populate the SBA database. If you have selected "Small Business" as a CCR Business Type and are applying for SBA certification as a Small Business, HUBZone, 8(a) Business Development Programs, or Small Disadvantaged Business, you must complete the small business supplemental page within CCR. Small Business MUST be checked when HUBZone, 8(a) Business Development Programs, or small disadvantaged business are selected. Follow instructions within the CCR website to update/renew your registration.

The Small Business Administration SUB-Net website is also a valuable source for obtaining information on subcontracting opportunities. Solicitations or other notices are posted by prime contractors, subcontractors, Federal agencies, state and local Governments, non-profit organizations, colleges and universities, and even foreign Governments. Small businesses may also post teaming partner opportunities. http://web.sba.gov/subnet/
