Handyman Insurance, Key takeaway for government contractors
As part of this expansion, a number of industries formerly listed as those in which women were “substantially underrepresented” have moved over to the “underrepresented” list. That means that, while contracts in these industries could previously only be set aside only for EDWOSBs, they now can be set aside for WOSBs. While EDWOSBs are still eligible to compete for WOSB contracts, it does widen the competition. For that reason, while WOSBs generally see this expansion as a huge win, some EDWOSBs feel it has negatively impacted their competitive edge. We will have to wait and see what the ultimate result is, and how it impacts the total number of contracts awarded to WOSBs and EDWOSBs.
