(SD)VOSB ( Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business ) 

What the SDVOSB Process Looks Like

The Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) certification is a federal program that assists service-disabled veterans in accessing government contracting opportunities. To qualify:

• Ownership and Control: Your business must be at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more service-disabled veterans.
• Size Standards: The business must meet the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) size standards for its industry.
• Registration: Register your business in the System for Award Management (SAM) at SAM.gov.
• Certification: While self-certification is allowed, the SBA recommends formal certification through the Veteran Small Business Certification (VetCert) Program to enhance credibility and access to set-aside contracts.

The certification process involves submitting documentation such as proof of service-connected disability, business ownership records, and financial statements. Once certified, your business is eligible for set-aside contracts and sole-source awards designated for SDVOSBs.

Why It’s a Must for Your Company

SDVOSB certification opens doors to exclusive federal contracting opportunities, as many agencies have goals for contracting with service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. This certification enhances your business’s credibility, making it more attractive to government agencies and prime contractors seeking to fulfill diversity and small business goals. Additionally, SDVOSB certification connects you to a network of veteran entrepreneurs and provides access to resources, mentorship, and training programs designed to support business growth.
