About Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concerns (SDVOSBC)

In 2010 the federal government spent $8.7 billion dollars with SDVOSBC Certified firms. This program was initially established with the Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act of 1999, establishing an annual federal spending goal of 3% for veteran-owned businesses. An additional modification took place in 2003 with the Veterans Benefits Act that established a procurement program for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concerns (SDVOSBC). This procurement program provides that government contracting officers may restrict competition to SDVOSBC Certified firms and award a sole source or set-aside contract.
Set-Aside Requirements and Exemptions for SDVOSBC
A Contracting Officer (CO) may set-aside requirements if:
- The contract is not exempted from SDV contracting.
- There is a reasonable expectation that at least two responsible SDVOSBC’s will submit offers on the contract.
- The anticipated award price of the contract will not exceed:
$5M for manufacturing requirements
$3M for all other requirements
- The award can be made at fair market price.
Limitation for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concern (SDVOSBC)
The following are the limitations that an SDVOSBC prime contractor or subcontractor can subcontract for:
Services Contracts (except Construction):
50% of the contract performance incurred for SDVOSBC personnel
Supply Contract:
50% of the cost of manufacturing the supplies
General Construction:
15% of the contract performance incurred for SDVOSBC personnel
Construction by Special Trade:
25% of the contract performance incurred for SDVOSBC personnel
