To be eligible for a VA SDVOSB or VOSB set-aside, the firm must be verified in the VA’s Office of Small Business Utilization’s (OSDBU) Veteran Information Pages (VIP) database as an SDVOSB or VOSB at the time the firm submits its offer to the VA. Additional information on VA’s Veterans First Contracting Program can be found on OSDBU’s website at https://www.va.gov/osdbu/verification/ . In addition, the SDVOSB/VOSB must qualify as a small business under SBA’s regulations.
