VETERAN

Veteran-Owned Contractor Hub

Two Programs.
One Platform.
Zero Gaps.

SDVOSB/VOSB set-asides and VEVRAA affirmative action obligations are different programs with different deadlines. RFP Command tracks both — so your veteran status works for you on every bid and every federal contract.

SDVOSB and VEVRAA Are Not the Same Program

Most veteran-owned contractors know about SDVOSB set-asides. Far fewer know about — or comply with — VEVRAA. Missing either creates liability or missed revenue. RFP Command tracks both.

Set-Aside Program

SDVOSB & VOSB
Set-Asides

Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB) are eligible for sole-source and competitive set-aside contracts — especially through the VA, which has the most active veteran set-aside programs in the federal government.

✓VA CVE verification required for VA SDVOSB/VOSB contracts
✓SBA self-certification available for non-VA federal set-asides
✓Sole-source awards up to $4M (goods/services) or $7M (manufacturing)
✓Competitive set-asides when 2+ SDVOSB/VOSB firms can perform
✓Win rates typically higher on set-asides vs. full and open competition

Affirmative Action Obligation

VEVRAA
Compliance

The Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) requires federal contractors and subcontractors with contracts over $150,000 to take affirmative action to recruit, hire, and advance protected veterans — and to file an annual VETS-4212 report by September 30.

✓Applies to all federal contracts & subcontracts over $150,000
✓Annual VETS-4212 report due September 30 (no exceptions)
✓Written affirmative action program required within 120 days of contract award
✓Applies to all protected veteran categories — not just SDVs
✓Non-compliance can result in debarment from federal contracting

⚠️ VETS-4212 Filing Deadline — September 30, Every Year

Every federal contractor or subcontractor with a contract of $150,000 or more must file a 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.
