http://vip.vetbiz.gov) as prescribed under the Veterans First Contracting Program as implemented in VAAR subpart 819.70. The Veteran Administration is mandated by Public Law

109-461 (38 USC § 8127 & 8128) to give first priority to SDVOSB and VOSB concerns if there should be sufficient firms available to compete under a set aside. If insufficient veteran owned small business responses are received to establish the basis for setting this action aside for other than large business participation, then the action will be advertised as a small business set aside or full and open competition. In this case, all interested parties responding shall be eligible to bid.
