Re: Supplier Application and Certification of Supplier Business Status Instructions
The University of Wyoming maintains a Supplier information database, which includes information on Suppliers that do business with
the University. To maintain current information the University requests that the attached forms be completed by Suppliers doing
business with the University.
In order to comply with federal reporting requirements, we must determine the status of each company with whom we do business:
Note: effective January 1, 1999, new federal regulations require a business claiming disadvantaged status to be certified by the US
Small Business Administration.
To assist you in answering the questions we are providing the following FAQs:
1. Question: How do I determine my business size?
Answer: Determination of whether a company is considered a small business is dependent upon their NAICS code.
Please refer to the “Table of Small Business Size Standards Matched to North American Industry
Classification System Codes” outlined in the U.S. Small Business Administration website, SBA.org. This
provides the standard for qualifying as a small business.
2. Question: What is a certified disadvantaged business?
Answer: A disadvantaged company is a business concern, at least 51% of which is owned by one or more socially
and economically disadvantaged individuals who control the daily management and business operations and
has been certified by the Small Business Administration. If you have been so certified, please return a copy
of the certification with the questionnaire. Socially and economically disadvantaged individuals are defined
to include: Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian-Pacific Americans and
Subcontinent Asian-Americans.
3. Question: What is a woman-owned business?
Answer: A woman owned business is a business concern, at least 51% of which is owned by one or more women
who and whose daily management and business operations are controlled by one or more women.
4. Question: What is a HUBZone Small Business?
Answer: Historically Underutilized Business Zones. The metropolitan county a business resides must be classified as
a HUBZone. In addition to the HUBZone classification a business must be qualified as a small business by
the Small Business Administration. Small Business Reauthorization Act of 1997.
**All Suppliers need to complete pages three and four. Completed forms should be mailed, faxed, or scanned and e-mailed to
Procurement Services. Any questions concerning the forms can be directed to Procurement Services.
