SDVOSB Federal Contracting: The Veteran Entrepreneur Guide
The federal government awarded $28.6 billion to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses in FY2025. If you are a disabled veteran with a tech business and you are not leveraging this, you are leaving money on the table.
What SDVOSB Gets You
Three percent of all federal prime contract dollars are set aside for SDVOSBs. Sole-source awards up to $5 million without competition. Prime contractors actively seek SDVOSB partners to meet their small business participation requirements.
