The Interim Final Rule introduces new certification requirements.
Businesses must now submit:
- Personal narrative: Evidence of disadvantage, Business history
- Financial documentation
The rule requires firms to demonstrate disadvantage through a case-by-case evaluation.
This change shifts certification from Minority (racial and gender) eligibility to documented socio-economic qualification.
At ProRank, we help businesses prepare documentation and positioning.
Because certification is evolving — and preparation matters.
