Is Bend Tooling Section 8(a) qualified?
Yes. Bend Tooling’s plant is located in a historically under-utilitized business district near downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan, and we hire employees from the neighborhood of our plant. Therefore, the Small Business Administration has certified us as a HUBZone company, which qualifies Bend Tooling to receive Section 8(a) set-aside contracts from the government and large companies.
