SDVOSB Contracts

Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) certification verifies that a small business meets SBA ownership, control, size, and service-disabled-veteran eligibility requirements. The federal government has a 5% government-wide prime-contracting goal for SDVOSBs.

Apply for VetCert through MySBA Certifications at certifications.sba.gov. The current application identifies the veteran-status, ownership, control, and business documents SBA requires.

Benefits include eligibility for SDVOSB set-aside contracts and, when FAR 19.1406 conditions are met, sole-source awards up to $8.5 million for manufacturing or $5 million for other NAICS codes. SBA-certified firms may also pursue eligible VA Vets First opportunities.

Any service-connected disability rating from the VA qualifies, even 0%. The disability must be documented by the VA. There is no minimum percentage requirement for SDVOSB certification.
