Court Rulings Just Killed These Small Business Certifications (What's Left)

Описание: 🚨 Major changes are hitting federal set-aside certifications in 2025! In this video, we break down how recent court rulings are reshaping the 8(a), SDVOSB, HUBZone, WOSB, and DBE programs — and what small business owners must do to stay compliant and competitive.

Full Description:
If your small business relies on federal contracting opportunities, this is a must-watch.
In 2023, the Ultima Services v. USDA decision changed how the SBA’s 8(a) program determines eligibility — forcing applicants to prove social disadvantage through a personal narrative.

Meanwhile, the Mid-America Milling v. USDOT case challenged the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program’s use of race and gender presumptions, signaling broader scrutiny across all identity-based programs.

So what does that mean for you in 2025?
✅ 8(a) — Still standing, but now requires proof of disadvantage.
✅ SDVOSB — Veteran-owned and legally strong.
✅ HUBZone — Geography-based and here to stay.
⚠️ DBE & WOSB — Under increasing legal pressure.

👉 Whether you’re a government contractor, veteran entrepreneur, or small business owner preparing for the next federal bid cycle, this video will help you understand:
