It was reported here a couple of months ago that the courts had ruled, along with GAO, that the HUBZone set aside was more equal than the other social preference statuses for small businesses.
What the courts have given, the Legislature has taken away. As is its right.
As the law firm Greenberg Traurig LLP points out in a recent alert,
President Obama signed the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010 into law on September 27. The new law converts "shall" into "may" for HUBZone set-aside contracts, thus relieving contentions that HUBZone entities are entitled to a priority over other small business entities (e.g., 8(a), service-disabled veteran-owned and women-owned small businesses).
