Hub Zone

ICE is a certified HUBZone small business.
Why do business with ICE?
  • If you are a government agency doing business with ICE will help you meet your REQUIRED annual HUBZone goal
  • If you are a large business that contracts with the government for large contracts (over $500,000), you MUST create a subcontracting plan reflecting HUBZone firm participation. Including ICE as a subcontractor factors into your company’s ‘Past Performance’ analysis on future contracting actions. In short doing business with ICE will help your business to be considered favorably for large contracts in the future !!
What is the HUBZone program?
  • It provides federal contracting assistance for qualified small businesses located in qualified HUBZones to:
    • Increase employment opportunities
    • Stimulate capital investment
    • Empower communities through economic leveraging
  • As of October 1, 2000, ALL Federal agencies are subject to annual HUBZone fiscal year goals.
  • The government-wide goals are:
    • 2001 2%
    • 2002 2.5%
    • 2003 3% and each year thereafter
  • Assuming historic patterns, this means that by 2003 the HUBZone program should account for about $6 billion.
How does ICE qualify as a HUBZone concern?
  • ICE has invested in a manufacturing facility in Tazewell, Virgina. Tazewell is located in a qualified HUBZone county. Specifically:
    • Household income is less than 80% of the non-metropolitan state level
    • Unemployment rate that is not less than 140% of the state-wide average
  • Now ICE and all of its interests are qualified in the HUBZone Program
