📝 Government Contracting Certifications for Veterans (VetCert) ⭐ #NVSBW24

Event description

As a veteran-owned small business, you may be eligible to grow your business by contracting with the federal government.

The federal government aims to award 5 percent of all federal contracts to service-disabled veteran-owned businesses (SDVOSB) each year.

Certification with SBA allows service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs) to compete for federal sole-source and set-aside contracts across the federal government. Certified veteran-owned small businesses (VOSBs) have additional opportunities to pursue sole-source and set-aside contracts at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) under the VA’s Vets First program.

SBA’s Veteran Small Business Certification program implements changes from the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (NDAA 2021) which transferred the certification function from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to SBA as of January 1, 2023. The transfer provides veterans with a central support point for their small business certification needs.

Topics include:

• No Cost resources for government contracting
• Service-disabled veteran-owned businesses certification
