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.
