SDVOSB Contracting — Key Facts for Veterans

🎖️

3% Federal Spending Goal

The federal government aims to award 3% of all prime contract dollars to SDVOSB firms annually. Many agencies consistently meet or exceed this goal, creating strong demand for verified SDVOSB vendors.

🏥

VA — Largest SDVOSB Buyer

The Department of Veterans Affairs has the strongest SDVOSB preference. The VA prioritizes VOSB and SDVOSB set-asides before going full-and-open, creating enormous opportunity for veteran-owned firms.

📋

SBA Certification Required
