If submitted as a JV, the JV Must be verified in CVE as an SDVOSB. If not a JV, then the prime firm must be verified in CVE as an SDVOSB.

Per the Instructions to Offerors, “Offerors must be verified by CVE and visible in the Vendor Information Pages (VIP) database at time of submission of offers in phase I, phase II and at time of award. Failure to be BOTH visible and verified in Phase I, Phase II and at time of award will result in the offeror’s proposal being deemed unacceptable and ineligible for award.”
