WOSB Federal Contract Program

Beta.Certify Home Page Refresh


In response to customer service feedback, SBA has changed the WOSB Program’s official application site URL to better help firms navigate our resources: beta.Certify.sba.gov will now be https://WOSB.Certify.sba.gov 

 

This action is in line with the original intent for “beta” to be a temporary placeholder for a more permanent URL. Now that WOSB is two years into the certification process, our application site is permanent and consistent with other SBA site-naming conventions. We are confident that this change will enhance user experience and limit confusion around the application process. 

 

For the next 90 days, beta.Certify.sba.gov will automatically redirect to the new URL, after which time it will become obsolete. We anticipate a positive response to this change and appreciate your support in ensuring the best experience for all firms hoping to begin their federal contracting journey with the WOSB Program.
