Do I get preference points in small business competitions?

While small business set-asides don't typically have preference points (since all competitors are small businesses), your ISBEE status can provide advantages through cultural knowledge, tribal relationships, and access to additional sole source opportunities that complement your small business contracting.

How does CLEAT.AI help me leverage both my tribal heritage and small business status?

Our platform identifies opportunities where you can use both advantages - small business set-asides where cultural knowledge provides edge, tribal preference contracts where small business agility matters, and sole source opportunities that combine both qualifications for maximum competitive positioning.
