Our Certification

ICA holds a Small Business Administration (SBA) 8(a) certification, which qualifies ICA as eligible to contract directly with federal agencies, and to compete for the SBA program’s sole-source and competitive set-aside contracts.

Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act created the 8(a) business development program to enable the SBA to assist small disadvantaged firms in developing and growing their businesses. Firms, such as ICA, which apply to the program, are rigorously evaluated on ownership, operations, financial health, and past performance.

Once approved as a certified contractor, ICA was required to provide the SBA with a detailed business plan, and demonstrate annually its continued success as a viable, strong business entity. ICA is certified by the SBA for a period of nine years. The SBA has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with federal agencies, allowing them to contract directly with certified 8(a) firms.

As a participant in the 8(a) program, ICA can receive sole source contracts up to a ceiling of $4 million annually for goods and services. The Small Business Administration (SBA) 8(a) Sole Source vehicle enables agencies to engage in direct buy contracts with certified contractors, such as ICA.

ICA meets the rigorous criteria for 8(a) certification, and continually showed that it is a viable and strong business for more than three years.
