WOSB Contract Opportunities
Find federal contracts set aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs) and EDWOSBs, filtered by NAICS and agency, with alerts for new opportunities.
What the WOSB program is
The Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contracting Program lets agencies set aside contracts for women-owned firms in industries where women are underrepresented. A subset, the Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) designation, applies to additional NAICS codes. Set-asides are limited to specific NAICS codes that SBA identifies as eligible.
How to find WOSB opportunities
- Filter opportunities to the WOSB or EDWOSB set-aside type.
- Confirm your NAICS codes are among those eligible for WOSB set-asides.
- Combine set-aside and NAICS filters to build a relevant shortlist.
- Use award data to find agencies that regularly award WOSB contracts.
- Turn on alerts so new WOSB set-asides reach you in time to respond.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find WOSB contract opportunities?
Search opportunities filtered to the WOSB or EDWOSB set-aside type and your NAICS codes. GovPrimer lets you save these searches and receive alerts, and review award data to target agencies that buy from women-owned firms.
Do I need to be certified as a WOSB?
Yes. To win WOSB or EDWOSB set-aside contracts you must be certified through the SBA's WOSB certification process, which verifies women's ownership and control (and economic disadvantage for EDWOSB).
Are WOSB set-asides available in every industry?
No. WOSB and EDWOSB set-asides are limited to the NAICS codes SBA designates as eligible based on where women-owned firms are underrepresented, so check whether your codes qualify.
