The federal government reserves billions in contracts exclusively for veteran-owned businesses. Find opportunities matched to your certification and business type.
Federal agencies are required to reserve certain contracts exclusively for small and veteran-owned businesses. There are three tiers, each with different eligibility requirements.
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-asides are the highest priority tier. The VA's "Rule of Two" mandates SDVOSB consideration first when two or more SDVOSBs can compete.
Veteran-Owned Small Business set-asides are open to all veteran-owned businesses, including SDVOSBs. Available at the VA and select other agencies when SDVOSB competition is insufficient.
General small business set-asides are open to all SBA-qualified small businesses — including veteran-owned firms. These represent the largest pool of set-aside opportunities across all agencies.
