Where can my business find contracting opportunities with the federal government?

Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Zones

The Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZone) program helps small businesses in urban and rural communities gain preferential access to federal procurement opportunities. These preferences go to small businesses that obtain HUBZone certification in part by employing staff who live in a HUBZone. The company must also maintain a “principal office” in one of these specially designated areas. A map of HUBZones in New Jersey can be found at: http://map.sba.gov/hubzone/maps/.
