Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business

The United States Government sets aside contract benefits for companies considered to be "Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business" (SDVOSB).[1]

The most notable of these contracts are the Veterans Government-wide Acquisition Contracts (VETS-GWAC)[2] issued in accordance with Executive Order 13360,[3] which is designed to strengthen federal contracting opportunities for SDVO firms. The current VETS contract (VETS 2) runs from 23 February 2018 to 22 February 2028.[4] This program has a ceiling of $5 billion. While this money is set aside by the Office of Federal Procurement it is up to the government agencies to provide the contracts, mainly the United States Department of Defense (DoD).
