Probity Receives 8A Certification

On August 30th, 2013 we received some great news! Probity is now certified as a participant in the U.S. Small Business Administration’s 8A Business Development Program.

 The 8A program  is intended to help disadvantaged businesses secure federal contracts.  Participation in the  program is divided into two phases over nine years: a four-year developmental stage and a five-year transition stage.  

The SBA reported that federal agencies awarded 8 percent of all contracts to small disadvantaged businesses in 2012, the highest percentage ever. We are excited to have received this certification and look forward to the opportunities it will bring us!!
