The SBA certified geoConvergence as a “qualified HUBZone small business concern.” The company is now eligible to receive HUBZone contracting opportunities and will be included in the listing of SBA-qualified HUBZone small business concerns. The SBA HUBZone program, designed to limit competition for certain government contracts to businesses in historically underutilized business zones, gives preferential consideration to those businesses in full and open competition. As a HUBZone certified company with a Small Disadvantaged Business designation, geoConvergence has access to federal set-aside and sole-source contracts, which in turn advances the federal government’s effort to spur economic growth in economically challenged areas. These preferences go to small businesses that obtain HUBZone certification in part by employing staff who live in a HUBZone. “geoConvergence is thrilled to be certified by the SBA in their HUBZone program,” said Prem Radhakrishnan, Co-Founder and CEO. “As an Indiana-based IT company pursuing federal contracts, this certification will allow us to help federal procurement officers achieve their set-aside targets, while also supporting economic development in the historically underutilized business zones in the country.” About geoConvergenceSince 2004, geoConvergence has specialized in implementing, integrating, and extending core Esri technology. geoConvergence is an award-winning, SBA 8(a) and HUBZone Certified Small Business providing best-in-class solutions to commercial and government customers. geoConvergence has won three Special Achievement in GIS (SAG) awards from Esri for our creative geospatial solutions and services.
