• This procurement is a 100% set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business

(SDVOSB) concerns. Offers received from other than SDVOSBs will not be considered.

Offerors must be verified as SDVOSBs by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and visible in the Veteran Small Business Certification (VetCert) database

(https://veterans.certify.sba.gov/) at the time of SF330 submission, written response mailto:jason.phillip@va.gov http://www.cfm.va.gov/contract/ae.asp mailto:jason.phillip@va.gov https://sam.gov/ https://veterans.certify.sba.gov/ submission, and award. Failure to be BOTH visible and verified at these times will result in the offeror’s bid being deemed unacceptable and ineligible for award.

NOTE: As of January 1, 2023, all SDVOSBs that were previously verified by VA’s Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE) are automatically granted certification by the SBA for the remainder of the firm’s eligibility period. The SBA intends to grant a one-time, one-year extension of certification to current SDVOSBs verified by the VA as of the transfer date on

January 1, 2023. This additional year will be added to the existing eligibility period of a current participant. New applicants certified by SBA after January 1, 2023, will receive the standard three-year certification period. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal

Year 2021 (NDAA 2021) grants a one-year grace period for self-certified SDVOSBs until

January 1, 2024. During the grace period, self-certified businesses have one year to file an application for SDVOSB certification and may continue to rely on their self-certification to compete for non-VA SDVOSB set-aside contracts. Self-certified SDVOSBs that apply before January 1, 2024, will maintain their eligibility through the expiration of the grace period until SBA issues a final eligibility decision

• All Joint Ventures must be SBA verified at the time of SF330 submission, written response submission, and award and must submit agreements that comply with 13 CFR 128.402 prior to contract award.
