About this file
The document is an informational sheet from the Michigan Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (DTMB) detailing the Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOB) Preference program, which supports veterans with service-connected disabilities bidding on State of Michigan contracts. Established under Public Act 91 of 2005, the program provides a 10% pricing preference for businesses that are at least 51% owned by service-disabled veterans when competing for state projects.
To claim the SDVOB preference, businesses must provide documentation including proof of military service (DD214), documentation of service-connected disability, and proof of business ownership. The state accepts NVBDC certification as an alternative verification method, but does not pre-certify businesses or accept federal certification databases like CVE or VetCert. A service-connected disability is defined as a disability incurred or aggravated during active military service, as described in 38 USC 101(16), and to be considered "qualified," a business must be majority-owned by one or more veterans with a service-connected disability.

Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOB) Preference
Webpage: DTMB - Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Preference
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.
