On Monday, April 10, 2023, the Small Business Administration (SBA) released a final rule regarding appeals from protest determinations related to Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) small business concerns. The new rule allows government contractors, disappointed bidders, and contracting officers to appeal protest determinations that turn on an entity’s status as a HUBZone small business concern to the SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA). The new rule becomes effective on May 10, 2023.
