SDVOSB

In December 2003, the President and Congress enacted Public Law 108-183. This law established a preference for the U.S. federal government to contract with Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs).

The following guidelines are unique to SDVOSBs and are designed to significantly streamline your contracting process when working with a SDVOSB:

  • The law provides that contracting officers may award a sole source or set-aside contract to SDVOSBs if certain conditions are met:

    • The SDVOSB is a responsible contractor with respect to the performance of the proposed contract opportunity

    • The contracting officer does not have a reasonable expectation that 2 or more SDVOSBs will submit offers for the contract

    • The anticipated award price of the contract (including options) will not exceed $3.0M for service contracts

    • In the estimation of the contracting officer, the contract award can be made at a fair and reasonable price.

  • A contracting officer may award contracts on the basis of competition restricted to SDVOSBs if there is a reasonable expectation that two or more SDVOSBs will submit offers and that the award can be made at a fair market price.

  • A goal of no less than 3% of government contracts has been established for award to SDVOSBs

  • A SDVOSB is able to “self-represent” its status as a SDVOSB to the contracting activity as part of its offer - formal certification is not required

Prevailance Inc. is majority owned and operated by service-disabled veterans, and we are proud to offer our services under the SDVOSB guidelines.
