About US

Founded in 1997, Etica, Inc. d/b/a HIPAA Vault is an SBA 8(a) certified, HUBZone awarded and minority-owned small business, providing government agencies and commercial businesses with world-class managed security services and IT solutions.

How Do 8(a) and HUBZone Set-asides and Sole-Source Contracts Work?

The Federal Government is mandated to “set aside” contracts, designated as 8(a) or HUBZone, exclusively for small businesses that have obtained those certifications. Eligible participants can also receive sole source contracts up to $4 million for goods and services.

8(a) or HUBZone firms may form teams with non-8(a) or HUBZone companies, combining their areas of expertise and enhancing their abilities to compete for prime contracts.Government agencies want to do business with 8(a) and HUBZone firms, not only to meet their Small Business utilization goals, but because they can sole source and negotiate directly with a company that has proven SBA credentials.

We want to partner with companies looking to bring their particular expertise, services, and products to the Federal Marketplace. To get started, simply check the following:
