Veteran Business Solutions is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)
Why work with a Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)?
For government customers working with SDVOSB:
The Department of Veteran Affairs certified (see certification letter) Veteran Business Solutions as a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business on 31 Oct 2013. This procurement program provides that Federal contracting officers may restrict competition to SDVOSBs and award a sole source or set-aside contract where certain criteria are met.
For large businesses and non-Service Disabled Veteran-Owned businesses:
- By partnering with an SDVOSB such as Veteran Business Solutions, large businesses and non-Veteran-owned small businesses can participate on contracts for which they would otherwise be ineligible to compete.
- Hundreds of opportunities are set-aside each month specifically for SDVOSBs.
- Partnering an SDVOSB enhances your relationships with the various federal contracting agencies.
- Many agencies struggle to meet their small business quotas for SDVOSB contracts.
What defines a Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)?
The Small Business Act defines an SDVOSB as a business that is:
- at least 51% owned directly and unconditionally by a service disabled veteran
- managed and controlled by a veteran, or spouse or permanent caregiver of a service disabled veteran.
The purpose of the Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business program is to provide procuring agencies with the authority to set acquisitions aside for exclusive competition among Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, as well as the authority to make sole source awards to Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses if certain conditions are met.
