What qualifies as a SDB?
A small business that is at least 51% owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.
A Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) must first qualify as a small business under the relevant NAICS size standard and then be at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. These owners must have real control over daily management and long-term decision-making, and the firm must self-certify or be recognized in accordance with SBA rules. SDB status can provide evaluation credits and access to certain set-asides and incentives, especially in negotiated procurements.
GovCon in a Box helps SDBs translate that status into opportunity by aligning certifications with targeted agencies, optimizing SAM and capability narratives, and mapping which solicitations explicitly offer SDB advantages so you can prioritize bids with the strongest built-in edge.
