Frequently Asked Questions
What is SDVOSB certification?
SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business) certification recognizes businesses that are at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more service-disabled veterans, qualifying them for federal set-aside and sole-source contracts. It's administered through the VA's CVE program or SBA, depending on the contract type.
What is the difference between SDVOSB and VOSB certification?
SDVOSB certification requires majority ownership by a veteran with a service-connected disability, while VOSB certification only requires majority ownership by a veteran, disabled or not. SDVOSB status unlocks federal set-asides specifically reserved for service-disabled veterans, while VOSB status is more commonly recognized for state and local contracting preferences.
Who is eligible for SDVOSB or VOSB certification?
Eligibility generally requires that veterans own at least 51% of the business and hold the highest officer position while controlling day-to-day operations and long-term decisions. For SDVOSB specifically, the veteran owner must also have a service-connected disability rating documented by the VA.
