As a Procurement Center Representative (PCR) for the US Small Business Administration, I advocate for the maximum practicable utilization of small business concerns in Federal contracting.I continuously view acquisition and procurement strategies, which enables me to recommend opportunities that should be set-aside for small business concerns including all socio-economic categories of 8(a) (Small Disadvantaged Businesses), Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), Economically Disadvantaged WOSB (EDWOSB), Service-connected Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), and Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) small businesses.
