Several small businesses in the Gulf Coast region that earned additional revenue during the 2005 hurricane season say they are ready, if needed, to repeat their successes in 2006.

Here are a few of the ways they got new federal business in 2005:

  • A sole-source contract from the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) program to a local company identified by contract specialists.

  • A competitively awarded set-aside contract for small businesses.

  • A work order on an existing contract with the Army Corps of Engineers.
