The purpose of the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concern Procurement Program is to provide procuring agencies with the authority to set acquisitions aside for exclusive competition among service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns, as well as the authority to make sole source awards to service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns if certain conditions are met. (See Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 13 C.F.R. § 125.8-125.10).
A Contracting Officer (CO) may set-aside requirements if:
1. The requirement is not exempted from SDVO contracting, the CO considers setting aside the requirement for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVO SBC participation before considering setting aside the requirement as a small business set-aside.
2. There is a reasonable expectation that at least two responsible SDVO SBC (Service Disabled Veteran Owned – Small Business Concern) will submit offers; and
3. The award can be made at a fair market price.
A contracting activity may not make a requirement available for a SDVO contract if and be exempted if:
1. The requirement would be fulfilled through the award of Federal Prison Industries, Inc. or Javits-Wagner-O’Day Act participating non-profit agencies for the blind and severely disabled.
2. The requirement is currently being performed by an 8(a) participant or SBA has accepted that requirement for performance under the authority of the Section 8(a) Program.
A CO may award a sole source contract if:
1. If the requirement is not exempted from SDVO contracting and cannot be set-aside.
2. The CO does not have a reasonable expectation that at least two responsible SDVO SBCs will submit offers.
3. The anticipated award price of the contract, including options, will not exceed: $5.0M for manufacturing requirements $3.0M for all other requirements
4. Award can be made at a fair market price.
Simplified Acquisition Threshold If the requirement is at or below the simplified acquisition threshold, the CO may set-aside the requirement for consideration among SDVOSBCs using simplified acquisition procedures or may award a sole source contract to a SDVOSBC. A sole source award is only permissible where there is only one SDVO SBC that perform the contract in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations § 19.406 (a)(3).
The Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-461) provides the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) with unique authority for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) set-aside and sole source contracts.
This procurement authority, and its subsequent implementation, is a logical extension of VA’s mission to care for our Nation’s Veterans. VA refers to this program as the Veterans First Contracting Program.
The Vets First Verification Program affords verified firms owned and controlled by Veterans and Service-disabled Veterans the opportunity to compete for VA set asides. During Verification, the Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE) verifies SDVOSBs/VOSBs according to the tenets found in Title 38 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 74 that address Veteran eligibility, ownership, and control. In order to qualify for participation in the Veterans First Contracting Program, eligible SDVOSBs/VOSBs must first be verified.
