SDVOSB SET-ASIDE

VRS Mission: Provide realistic joint and combined arms training facilities and training support, enabling America's Defense Forces to train, fight and win in the 21st Century operational environment.

The contracting officer may set-aside acquisitions exceeding the micro-purchase threshold for competition restricted to service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns when the following requirements can be satisfied:

• Offers will be received from two or more service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns; and
• Award will be made at a fair market price.
  

If the contracting officer receives only one acceptable offer from a SDVOSB in response to a set-aside, the contracting officer should make an award to that SDVOSB.

SOLE SOURCE AWARDS TO SDVOSB

Under the SDVOSB vehicle Contracting Officers can issue sole source solicitations to qualified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses.

Maximum award including options is $3 million for services. (13 C.F.R. 125.20 and FAR 19.14)

Helps individual commands, DoN, and DoD meet SDVOSB contracting goals set by The Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act of 1999 (Public Law 106-50) and Executive Order 13360.

The Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act of 1999 (Public Law 106-50) established an annual Government-wide goal of not less than 3 percent of the total value of all prime contract and subcontract awards for participation by small business concerns owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans.

The Veterans Benefits Act (VBA) of 2003 (Public Law 108-183) Section 308 established a sole source and set-aside procurement program for service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns.

Executive Order 13360 reinforces Public Law 106-50 and 108-183 by directing federal agencies to develop strategies in order to implement the SDVOSB policy.

FAR 19.14 describes in detail the SDVOSB procurement program.
