SDVOSB and VOSB

Status as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business is determined in accordance with 13 CFR Parts 125.8 through 125.13, and Part 128. Any business intending to seek socioeconomic status as a veteran-owned small business should closely review Part

128. As of January 1, 2023, SBA has assumed control of the VOSB and SDVOSB certification process for purposes of nearly all small business federal contracting, and self-certification for VOSBs and SDVOSBs is being eliminated. Only those contractors intending to compete for SDVOSB or VOSB contracts through VA’s Veterans First Contracting Program have been required to obtain verification of their qualified status through VA’s Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE). Contractors seeking VOSB or SDVOSB certification can submit applications and documents for processing on SBA’s website (HTTPS://VETERANS.CERTIFY.SBA.GOV).

OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES

If the contractor is offering as a Large Business and subcontracting opportunities exist, the offer must include with the initial offer a Small Business Subcontracting Plan as defined in FAR 52.219-8, FAR 52.219-9, and VAAR 852.219-9 which are included by reference in this solicitation. An acceptable template can be found on the following website: HTTP://WWW.VA.GOV/OAL/BUSINESS/FSS/SBSP.ASP. This is a suggested format only. Other formats are acceptable;

however, all identified elements must be included for your plan to be processed and approved. Additional guidance is included in FAR 52.219-9. The subcontracting plan will be evaluated and rated on the demonstrated plan of meeting or exceeding VA’s small business goals outlined in the table below and the following:

• Reflects a valid corporate commitment between all parties in providing subcontracting opportunities for small business, small disadvantaged business, women-owned small business, HUBZone small business, veteran-owned small business, and service-disabled veteran-owned concerns. Includes the strength and specificity of each corporate commitment (i.e., what type of commitment, how binding is the commitment, how specific is the commitment to this proposed effort, and what types of tasks are included in these subcontracting opportunities).

• Reflects a one year history demonstrating your corporate commitment to meet your subcontracting goals/targets by providing Individual Subcontracting Report (ISR), for those contracts/projects in which you are submitting under Past Performance. If goals were not met on the ISR, provide an explanation as to why the goals/targets were not met.

• Demonstrates realistic targets expressed in dollars and in percentages of the total proposed subcontracting dollars for each small business category listed above.

• Reflects compliance, at a minimum, with VA goals listed below.

For Small Businesses: If the Offeror is a small business concern, the Offeror is not required to submit a small business plan.

The subcontracting plan submitted with the offer will be evaluated on the extent to which the proposal provides Small Business Subcontracting targets that meet the Department of Veteran Affairs Small Business goals for this project and the extent to which the offeror’s Small Business Subcontracting Plan establishes reasonable efforts demonstrating the subcontracting targets can be met during the performance of the contract. Failure to submit subcontracting plan at the time of initial offer shall make the offeror ineligible for award of the contract.
