In particular, minority-owned, veteran-owned, and 8(a) or HUBZONE certified contractors can receive surety bond support of 90% of the contract value through the SBA program.
The primary presenter of this program will be Tamara Murray of the Office of Surety Guarantees. We also expect to have some perspectives from representatives of top bonding agencies to provide their practical tips on getting bonded.
