Small Business Size Standards

Picture of a Florida Roadway

 

The Florida Department of Transportation will use its own definition for a small business which has different size standards for the type of work performed.  The Department will limit the size standard to $22.41 million.  A business determines their size by averaging their annual gross receipts over the last three years.  If their average gross receipts are under the size standard for a particular type of work and under $22.41 million (or under the size standard), the business would be considered a small business.
