If your organization is like many today, it has supplier diversity goals which can be challenging to meet. When that effort involves hitting targets for HUBZone contract awards, we have some good news. We are pleased to announce our certification (read our press release) by the SBA as a HUBZone company, which means all purchases of our Ultra-Low Temperature (ULT) freezers qualify as HUBZone contract awards and are eligible for federal set-asides.
As the only ULT freezer manufacturer qualified as a business operating and employing people in a Historically Underutilized Business Zone, we are the only diversity supplier that can offer these federal incentives. This certification is a reflection of our dedication to both the Ohio community in which we work, as well as the customers we serve.
U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH), who was supportive in this process, made the following comment. . .
“Businesses like Stirling Ultracold are the backbone of Ohio communities. I’m glad that Stirling Ultracold has secured the HUBZone designation, which will help the company secure contracts and federal resources as they continue to create jobs and strengthen the Athens community.”

I’m very pleased to share this news and encourage you to pass it on to the supplier diversity program in your organization or institution. When you can see savings in the procurement process while hitting challenging Diversity and HUBZone targets, it’s a win for all.
