Below is a list of our certifications and the incentives associated with each of our certifications.
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is a United States government agency that provides support to entrepreneurs and small businesses. SBA helps lead the federal government’s efforts to deliver 23 percent of prime federal contracts to small businesses. Small business contracting programs include efforts to ensure that certain federal contracts reach woman-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses as well as businesses participating in programs such as the 8(a) Business Development Program and HUBZone.
The government limits competition for certain contracts to businesses in historically underutilized business zones. It also gives preferential consideration to those businesses in full and open competition. The HUBZone program fuels small business growth in historically underutilized business zones with a goal of awarding at least three percent of federal contract dollars to HUBZone-certified companies each year. As a Certified HUBZONE company, Marvell Foods is eligible to compete for the program’s set-aside contracts. HUBZone-certified businesses also get a 10 percent price evaluation preference in full and open contract competitions.
Since August 2020, Marvell Foods has been a subcontractor/supplier/distributor providing assorted protein products on behalf of Manufacturers and Distributors who participated in the Farmers to Families Food Box Program. Marvell Foods supplied/brokered/delivered tens of millions of pounds of proteins and other food products to USDA/BOA Awardees, who in turn helped feed millions of Americans and their families, including food banks, across the country.
The federal government’s goal is to award at least five percent of all federal contracting dollars to women-owned small businesses each year. To help provide a level playing field for women business owners, the government limits competition for certain contracts to businesses that participate in the WOSB Federal Contracting Program. Marvell Foods, as a certified member of the WOSB Federal Contracting Program makes Marvell Foods eligible to compete for federal contracts set aside for the program.
