- SDB – Small Disadvantaged Business
- WOSB – Woman-Owned Small Business

Does Federal Reporting Include Self-Certified Suppliers?
Yes. Federal reporting includes self-certified suppliers, provided they have a valid form of self-registration proof — such as a registration portal affidavit or self-certification on file. As a small business owner, it is the supplier’s responsibility to confirm they meet the SBA’s applicable size standards, which are based on employee count, annual revenue, and primary NAICS code.
Agencies and Self-Certified Affidavits
Per federal reporting requirements, a supplier must qualify as a small business to be included. The supplier must meet the SBA size standard table requirements based on their primary NAICS code, employee size, and annual revenue.
