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 Administrations 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.
