How to qualify

There is no federal set-aside named minority-owned. The federal routes are the 8(a) program and Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) status, both changing in 2026. Minority-owned in SAM.gov is what a company reports about itself; FPDS counts tribally owned, Alaska Native Corporation and Native Hawaiian firms in it.
