VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS PREFERENCE:

Unless a greater preference is applicable and allowed by law, in accordance with Minn. Stat. §16C.16, subd.

6a, the Commissioner of Administration will award a 12% preference on state procurement to certified small businesses that are majority owned and operated by veterans.

A small business qualifies for the “veteran-owned” preference when it meets one of the following requirements. 1) The business has been certified by the Office of State Procurement as being a veteran-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned small business. 2) The principal place of business is in Minnesota AND the United States Department of Veterans Affairs verifies the business as being a veteran-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned small business under Public Law 109-461 and Code of Federal Regulations, title 13, part 128. See Minn. Stat. § 16C.19(d).

Statutory requirements and appropriate documentation must be met by the solicitation response due date and time to be awarded the veteran-owned preference. In applying the preference to a Request for Bid (RFB), the preference applies only to the first $2,000,000 of a solicitation response.

If you are claiming the veteran-owned preference, attach all required documentation to the Trade Secret/Non-public Information link on the Event Details page, with your response to the solicitation. Only eligible veteran-owned small businesses that meet the statutory requirements and provide adequate documentation will be given the preference.

I CERTIFY THAT my business qualifies for the veteran-owned preference by meeting the requirements above. (You must answer Yes or No).
