You absolutely
can self-certify your business as women-owned, so long as it falls within the
parameters of what a woman-owned business is.However, this self-certification
can be challenged upon procurement award. If this happens, the procuring agency
may request proof of the firms’ WOB status, or even require certification. If
you fail to comply, you could lose the award.Your business may also be
overlooked as there is considerable discretion among contracting officers in
how they accept, approach, and award contracts. A formally certified
women-owned business may, in the eyes of a contracting officer, be preferable.
