PRIVATE
CERTIFIERS :: Under
13 CFR 124.1003, a Private Certifier is an organization or business
concern approved by U.S. Small Business Administration to determine
whether firms are owned and controlled by one or more individuals
claiming disadvantaged status. The SBA refers prospective
applicants to Private Certifiers for assistance in completing Small
Disadvantaged Business (SDB) Program applications. Private
Certifiers are permitted by regulation to charge fees for their
services. The SBA is charged by regulation with maintaining a list of
Private Certifiers. Federal Access
was approved as
a Private Certifier when the SDB Program was implemented in
1999. Although the original contract term for all Private
Certifiers has expired, the SBA continues to refer prospective SDB
applicants to Private Certifiers for assistance. Bookmark this
page for updates on the Private Certifier Program.
