HUBZone Certified Packaging Supplier

Pack4, a leading manufacturer of custom protective packaging and packaging services, is pleased to announce that it has received certification as a Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) business by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

HUBZone (Historically Underutilized Business Zone) certification is a program managed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) designed to help small businesses in economically disadvantaged areas gain access to federal contracting opportunities. The program aims to stimulate economic development and create jobs in these underutilized areas.

Key aspects of the HUBZone certification include:

  1. Location Requirement: The business must be located in a HUBZone area, which is an area identified by the SBA as economically disadvantaged. This includes areas such as inner cities, rural areas, Indian reservations, and some U.S. territories.
  2. Ownership and Control: The business must be at least 51% owned and controlled by U.S. citizens, a Community Development Corporation, an agricultural cooperative, or an Indian tribe.
  3. Employee Residency: At least 35% of the business’s employees must reside in a HUBZone.
  4. Principal Office: The principal office of the business must be located in a HUBZone designated area.
  5. Benefits: Businesses with HUBZone certification are eligible for certain federal contracting preferences, including:
    • Set-Aside Contracts: Specific contracts may be set aside for HUBZone-certified businesses.
    • Sole Source Contracts: In some cases, contracts can be awarded without competition to HUBZone-certified businesses.
    • Price Evaluation Preference: HUBZone businesses may receive a price evaluation preference when bidding on contracts.

This certification helps businesses in these areas compete for federal contracts, thus fostering local economic growth and job creation. More information about the HUBZone program can be found at https://www.sba.gov/federal-contracting/contracting-assistance-programs/hubzone-program.
