If any of the work is to be subcontracted, the Albuquerque District goal is for 57.2% of the subcontracted dollars to go to small business with the percentage of those dollars distributed as follows: 10% to small disadvantaged business, 10% to woman o wned business, 3% to HUB-zone small business, and 3% service disabled veteran owned small business (SDVOSB).
