Why HUBZone Compliance Matters
Understanding the impact of HUBZone subcontracting goals on your federal contracts
Most Primes Miss HUBZone Goals
The majority of large federal prime contractors fail to meet their 3% HUBZone subcontracting requirement. Why? HUBZone businesses are rare, and even fewer have the past performance, clearances, and infrastructure to deliver.
CPARS & Compliance Risk
Missing small business subcontracting goals directly impacts your CPARS ratings and compliance scores. This can affect future contract awards, past performance evaluations, and your reputation with federal agencies.
SBA Enforcement Trends
The SBA has increased enforcement and oversight of subcontracting plan compliance. Agencies are requiring more detailed reporting through eSRS, making it critical to partner with verified, compliant HUBZone firms.
Financial Liability & Fund Release
Failure to meet HUBZone subcontracting goals can result in withheld contract payments. Federal agencies may refuse to release funds until compliance is demonstrated, creating cash flow disruptions and financial liability for prime contractors.
The 3% HUBZone Requirement
Under FAR 52.219-9, federal prime contractors with subcontracting plans must allocate at least 3% of total subcontracting dollars to HUBZone small businesses.
This isn't just a guideline—it's a federal requirement that affects your contract performance, future opportunities, and relationship with contracting officers.
