8(a) Business Development Program

The Brownsville Chamber of Commerce is collaborating with the U.S. Small Business Administration to bring you the 8(a) Business Development Program workshop.

The federal government uses special programs to help small businesses win at least 23 percent of all federal contracting dollars each year.

To help provide a level playing field for small businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged people or entities, the government limits competition for certain contracts to businesses that participate in the 8(a) Business Development Programs.
