ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Fila Group, LLC, an information technology and consulting firm, announced today that it has been certified by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to participate in the Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) program.
“Fila Group is proud to be certified by the SBA HUBZone program and to be a part of job creation in economically challenging areas,” remarked Jonathan Keough, President and Chief Operating Officer.
“With this certification, we are able to bring our expertise in Cloud strategy and business transformation services to government customers in a more direct and strategic way that meets customer needs and contributes to the economic development of disadvantaged areas,” noted Ravi Shankar, Fila Group Chief Executive Officer.
The HUBZone program helps small businesses in urban and rural communities gain preferential access to federal procurement opportunities. As a HUBZone certified company with a Small Disadvantaged Business designation, Fila Group now has access to federal set-aside and sole source contracts, which in turn advances the federal government’s effort to spur economic growth in certain areas. These preferences go to small businesses that obtain HUBZone certification in part by employing staff who live in a HUBZone.
Fila Group is headquartered in Leesburg, Virginia. For more information, please visit www.filagroup.com.
