About this file
This document outlines the Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOB) Preference program administered by the State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) pursuant to Public Act 91 of 2005. The program provides a 10% pricing preference to businesses owned by qualified service-disabled veterans when bidding on State of Michigan contracts. To claim the preference, bidders must indicate SDVOB status in their bid response and provide required documentation including proof of service and discharge conditions (DD214 or equivalent), proof of service-connected disability (DD214 or Veterans Administration Rating Decision Letter), and proof of business ownership through appropriate legal documents. Alternatively, businesses may submit National Veterans Business Development Council (NVBDC) certification as verification of eligibility.
A qualified SDVOB is defined as a business entity that is 51 percent or more owned by one or more veterans with a service-connected disability, where service-connected disability refers to a disability incurred or aggravated in the line of duty in active military, naval, or air service as described in 38 USC 101(16). The State of Michigan does not pre-certify businesses as SDVOBs and does not accept certifications from the federal Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE) database or the US Small Business Administration (VetCert). Bidders seeking additional information are directed to the SDVOB Preference Fact Sheet available on the DTMB webpage.

• Proof of service and conditions of discharge: DD214 or equivalent.
• Proof of service-connected disability: DD214 if the disability was documented at discharge or Veterans Administration (VA) Rating Decision Letter (or equivalent) if the disability was documented after discharge.
