On December 16, 2003, President Bush signed Public Law No. 108-183, the Veterans Benefits Act of 2003, which created the “Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Procurement Program. The purpose of the program is to provide Federal contracting assistance to service-disabled veteran-owned small business enabling veterans to realize the American dream that they fought to protect while serving our country. The objective is to provide contracting officials a means to meet the statutorily mandated 3% goal for procurement from SDVOSB’s.

Section 308, the Procurement Program for Small Business Concerns Owned and Controlled by Service-Disabled Veterans authorizes Contracting Officers (C0) to:

1. Set aside procurements for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB. CO’s may restrict competition and award to SDVOSB’s if there is a reasonable expectation that two or more SDVOSB’s will submit an offer. Note: If the CO receives only one bid from an SDVOSB, CO is to make award to that concern.

2. Award sole source contracts to an SDVOSB. Note: Sole source awards up to $ 5 million for a manufacturing acquisition and $3 million for all others.FAR Subpart 19.14 sets forth the policy and procedures for the SDVOSB Procurement Program. FAR 52.219-27 sets forth the definition of SDVOSB. Note: A CO shall document why a small business set-aside is inappropriate for an acquisition unless it is set-aside for SDVOSB. What's SDVOSB? Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)

The Whitehouse Office of Manpower & Budget mandated a 3% goal for all federal agencies to conduct business with SDVOSBs. By doing so, your office will earn kudos from higher authority.

* You will face no overhead charges from a Prime Contractor and/or intermediary contracting authority like GSA. This can easily total 20% or more.
* You'll be dealing directly with the principals of the company rather than a hierarchy.
* You'll be supporting disabled veterans of America.

Recent changes (May 2004) to the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) (see below) strongly encourage all federal agencies to engage SDVOSBs. In October, 2004, President Bush made this encouragement a mandate.

Weary of red tape?

The process is easy and fast:

1. Notify your local contracting office that you are interested in engaging an SDVOSB, and

2. Submit a proposed Statement of Work (SOW)

You do not have to go through a Governement Service Office (GSO). This alone save ime and money.

Your Contracting Office will:

1. Determine if there are one or more SDVOSBs eligible to submit a bid.

2. If there are two or more, the Task can easily be made a SDVOSB set-aside (just like an 8A contract). If there is only one, the task can be made sole-source.

3. The Request for Quote (RFQ) is posted online. Bids must be received by the deadline (typically one to two weeks).

4. The contracting office will alert you when the bids have been received, and together, you will decide whether or not to award the contract.

Executive Order 13360 of October 20, 2004, Signed by President George W. Bush

Providing Opportunities for Service-Disabled Veteran Businesses To Increase Their Federal Contracting and Subcontracting

"By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to strengthen opportunities in Federal contracting for service-disabled veteran businesses, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Policy. America honors the extraordinary service rendered to the United States by veterans with disabilities incurred or aggravated in the line of duty during active service with the armed forces. Heads of agencies shall provide the opportunity for service-disabled veteran businesses to significantly increase the Federal contracting and subcontracting of such businesses.

To achieve that objective, agencies shall more effectively implement section 15(g) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 644(g)), which provides that the President must establish a goal of not less than 3 percent for participation by service-disabled veteran businesses in Federal contracting, and section 36 of that Act (15 U.S.C. 657f), which gives agency contracting officers the authority to reserve certain procurements for service-disabled veteran businesses."
