National Veterans Small Business Week: Doing Business with the VA & SBA's VetCert Program

Event description

Join us in discussing with the VA OSDBU Program Specialist, Wendy Bray, how to successfully do business with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This session will provide an overview of the VA's mission and highlight the critical role that small businesses play in supporting veterans and their families. Participants will gain valuable insights into the VA's procurement procress and learn how to navigate it effectively. By the end of the session, you will be better prepared to pursue business opportunities with the VA and make a meaningful contribution to veteran services.

This session will also discuss the SBA's Veteran Small Business Certification (VetCert) Program. Certification with the 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 VA under the VA's Vets First program.
