Women-Owned Federal Contractors: A Growing Force in Government Procurement

The federal government has set a statutory goal of awarding 5% of all federal contracting dollars to Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs). In FY 2024, 6.64 billion was awarded to WOSBs across 13,957 companies—representing 3.44% of the 73.68 billion in total federal contract awards. While this falls short of the 5% target, the trend is upward: WOSB awards grew from 2.6 billion in FY 2022 to 0.9 billion in FY 2023.

WOSB and EDWOSB Set-Aside Programs

The SBA administers two key set-aside designations under the WOSB Federal Contract Program:

WOSB
Available across 646 NAICS codes where women-owned businesses are underrepresented. Requires 51%+ ownership and control by women who are U.S. citizens.
EDWOSB
Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business—covers an additional 113 NAICS codes and allows sole-source awards up to million for services and million for manufacturing.

Where WOSBs Are Concentrated

The top states for WOSB federal contractor headquarters are Virginia, Maryland, and Florida—reflecting proximity to Washington, D.C. and major military installations. Texas and California round out the top five, driven by defense and technology spending.

Key Contract Vehicles for WOSBs

Successful women-owned contractors typically hold positions on major government-wide acquisition contracts (GWACs) and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, including GSA Schedule, NASA SEWP, NIH CIO-CS, OASIS Small Business, and agency-specific BPAs. These vehicles significantly expand a WOSB’s addressable market across federal agencies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.What is the difference between WOSB and EDWOSB certification?

WOSB certification requires 51%+ ownership and control by women who are U.S. citizens. EDWOSB adds an economic disadvantage threshold (personal net worth under 50,000, excluding primary residence and business ownership). EDWOSB-certified firms can compete for both WOSB and EDWOSB set-aside contracts and are eligible for sole-source awards.

Q.Can I verify a company's WOSB certification status?

Yes. All SBA-certified WOSBs are listed in the SBA's MySBA Certifications portal and in SAM.gov. Our data is sourced by AI crawling public records at the time of your request, so you receive the most current certification status available from official sources.

Q.How does this directory help prime contractors meet subcontracting goals?

Federal prime contractors with contracts over 50,000 must submit subcontracting plans with goals for WOSB participation. This directory lets you search by NAICS code, service area, and location to identify qualified WOSB subcontractors that align with your contract requirements.

Q.Does the data include contract award history?

When available from public sources such as FPDS and USAspending.gov, the data includes past contract awards, awarding agencies, and contract values. This helps assess a WOSB's track record and relevant experience before engaging them as a teaming partner.

Q.What industries are eligible for WOSB set-asides?

The SBA designates 759 NAICS codes as eligible: 646 for WOSB set-asides and 113 additional codes for EDWOSB set-asides. Top categories include IT services, professional consulting, construction, engineering, healthcare, and manufacturing. The full list is maintained on SBA.gov.
