SBA Certified Hubzone Firm – This certification will give preferential access to Aerocet based on its location in an “Historically Underutilized Business Zone.” Aerocet Aerospace Manufacturing is based in North Idaho. “The Hubzone certification will specifically allow government agencies, such as NASA and the Department of Defense, to utilize the program’s incentives for contracts awarded to Aerocet,” said Garry Hojan, CEO. “U. S. Federal agencies have more than 3% of their budget in the form of prime contracts which must be awarded to HUBZone firms like Aerocet, and agencies can be penalized if they don’t meet the requirement. Our capabilities are documented in our portal profile, the System for Award Management (SAM) and they Dynamic Small Business Search (DSMS) databases. We have made these investments to work as a prime contractor for the various federal agencies and we look forward to fulfilling the intent of HubZone employment goals as contracts are awarded through this broad new channel.”
