Consistent with 13 C.F.R. 128.401, only certified Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) are eligible to submit an offer on a specific SDVOSB requirement. The concern must qualify as a small business concern under the size standard corresponding to the NAICS code assigned to the contract and be a certified SDVOSB at the time of initial offer or response which includes price. Any small business concern that submits a complete certification application to SBA on or before December 31, 2023, shall be eligible to self-certify for SDVOSB sole source or set-aside contracts (other than VA contracts) until SBA declines or approves the concerns application. Any small business concern that does not submit to SBA a complete SDVOSB certification application to SBA on or before December 31, 2023, will no longer be eligible to self-certify for SDVOSB sole source or set-aside contracts effective January 1, 2024. To be considered for award contractors shall either: a) be registered via the Veteran Small Business Certification(VetCert) https://veterans.certify.sba.gov/ website, or b) have submitted documentation to show that its complete application for its SDVOSB certification and that certification is pending before the SBA, prior to the solicitation closing. The Agency will check SDVOSB status in Vetcert and may contact offerors if additional documentation is necessary. Failure to comply with these procedures by the solicitation close date, will render the contractor?s offer nonresponsive. Nonresponsive offers are not eligible for contract award. Please see attached solicitation and attachments for details on this requirement
