About this file
This document is an informational sheet issued by the State of Michigan's Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) regarding the Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOB) preference program applicable to state contracts. The document outlines Michigan's commitment to service-disabled veterans through a special contracting preference under Public Act 91 of 2005. Eligible businesses receive a 10% pricing preference when bidding on State of Michigan projects. To claim this preference, bidders must submit their bid response indicating SDVOB status and provide required documentation including proof of service and discharge conditions via DD214 or equivalent, proof of service-connected disability through either a DD214 or VA Rating Decision Letter, and proof of business ownership through appropriate legal documents. Alternatively, businesses may provide National Veterans Business Development Council (NVBDC) certification if certain conditions are met. The state does not pre-certify SDVOB businesses and does not accept federal CVE database or SBA VetCert certifications.
The SDVOB preference defines qualified businesses as those entities that are 51% or more owned by one or more veterans with a service-connected disability, where service-connected disability is defined under 38 USC 101(16) as a disability incurred or aggravated during active military, naval, or air service. This preference applies to the Harbor Plating Groundwater Treatment System contract opportunity in Michigan and provides a competitive advantage for eligible veteran-owned businesses in the state procurement process.

About the SDVOB Preference
The State of Michigan has a special commitment to veterans with service-connected disabilities who bid on State of Michigan contracts. Per Public Act 91 of 2005 businesses owned by qualified service-disabled veterans receive a 10% pricing preference when bidding on State of Michigan projects.
How to Claim the SDVOB Preference
The SDVOB pricing preference is claimed when bidding on a State of Michigan contract. To request the SDVOB pricing preference you must indicate that your company is an SDVOB in your bid response and provide the required documentation:
• 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.
• Proof of Ownership: Appropriate legal documents setting forth the ownership of the business entity.
Alternatively, the state will accept a National Veterans Business Development Council (NVBDC) certification as verification of eligibility, provided certain conditions are met.
NOTE: The state does not pre-certify businesses as SDVOBs and does not accept the federal Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE) database or the US Small Business Administration (VetCert). For more detailed information review the SDVOB Preference Fact Sheet.
