Certifications and business types
SAM.gov's public file from Oct 5, 2026 lists no SBA certification (8(a), HUBZone or WOSB) for Windlift Inc.. The file sometimes leaves a certification out, and a newer one won't be in it yet: SBA's certification search and the firm's SAM.gov entry have the current list. SBA certifications let a business compete for set-aside contracts. See set-aside contracts explained.
