For Veteran-Owned Contractors

Your Certification
Is Your Competitive Edge.
Use It.

SDVOSB and VOSB set-asides exist to give service-disabled and veteran-owned businesses a direct path to federal contracts. The contractors who win know how to track compliance, manage deadlines, and bid consistently. RFP Command gives you the structure to do all three.

Know Your Designations

SDVOSB vs. VOSB —
The Distinctions That Matter

Both designations unlock set-aside opportunities, but they operate under different frameworks — especially since the SBA took over SDVOSB verification from the VA in January 2023.

SDVOSB
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business

For businesses at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more service-disabled veterans. Unlocks both VA-specific set-asides (under the Veterans First Contracting Program) and SBA SDVOSB set-asides across all federal agencies.

  • ✓SBA certification required (as of Jan 1, 2023 — VA CVE no longer sufficient for VA contracts)
  • ✓Ownership must be at least 51% by service-disabled veterans
  • ✓Service-connected disability must be documented with VA
  • ✓Applies to VA contracts and all federal agency SDVOSB set-asides
  • ✓Sole-source contracts available up to $5M (services) or $7M (manufacturing)
VEVRAA
Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act

A federal contractor compliance obligation — not a set-aside. VEVRAA applies to any federal contractor with a contract of $150,000 or more, requiring affirmative action and annual VETS-4212 reporting.

  • ✓Applies to federal prime contracts and subcontracts at $150K+
  • ✓Requires written Affirmative Action Program within 120 days of first qualifying contract
  • ✓Annual VETS-4212 filing required — August 1 through September 30
  • ✓DOL sets annual hiring benchmarks for protected veterans
  • ✓Subcontracting plan obligations for contracts over $750K
⚠ VETS-4212 Filing Window: August 1 – September 30

Federal contractors covered by VEVRAA must file their annual VETS-4212 report between August 1 and September 30. There is no grace period and no extensions. Missing this filing is a VEVRAA violation and can trigger a compliance review. RFP Command adds this deadline to your Certification Tracker automatically when you log a qualifying contract.
