The 2015 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) required the Small Business Administration (SBA) to provide oversight and development of a certification process for Women-Owned and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB/EDWOSB). After years of development, the SBA started accepting new certification applications beginning in July from WOSB/EDWOSB businesses. This certification is free and application decisions will start to be made by October 15, 2020. The certification will make it easier for WOSB/EDWOSBs to participate in the federal WOSB contracting program. Lead by David M. Pinkosky, Business Opportunity Specialist and Marisa Fentzel, Business Opportunity Specialist from the SBA’s Western Pennsylvania District Office.
