As we discussed in earlier articles, the WOSB  program will offer certified WOSB's with set-aside contract opportunities.  Similar programs (8-A) provided enormous benefits to small disadvantaged businesses and this program should be a boon to certified WOBS's. SBA beleives the first contracts under this program will be awarded in the 4th quarter of fiscal year 2011 (july-September), so it's time to get in on this contracting initiative.  The largest percent of federal contracts are awarded in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, so this should be a significant contracting opportunity To view the web chat on March 31, 2011 at 1:00 pm, go to **[WOSB Web Chat](http://web.sba.gov/livemeeting/public/dsp_meeting_view.cfm?meetngid=2)** Other Resources: [![WOSB set-aside](https://www.turbogsa.com/hs-fs/images/c--documents_and_settings-robert-my_documents-client_dimensions-website_turbogsa-blog_pics-sba_wosb_checklist_turbogsa-resized-153.png)](https://www.turbogsa.com/is-your-wosb-ready-to-receive-set-aside-contracts/)See our earlier articles: [New Rule Sets Aside Billions for Women-Owned Small Business Contracts](https://www.turbogsa.com/blog/bid/54335/New-Rule-Sets-Aside-Billions-for-Women-Owned-Small-Business-Contracts) [First Month of Women Owned Small Business Set-Aside Program a Success](https://www.turbogsa.com/blog/bid/57744/Women-Owned-Small-Business-Set-Aside-First-Month) Download ourfree [SBA WOSB Set-Aside Self-Assessment Checklist](https://www.turbogsa.com/is-your-wosb-ready-to-receive-set-aside-contracts/) - Our checklist tells you which industries will benefit! - This 6-page checklist helps you determine if your business is ready to receive Federal set-aside contracts!
