Government Announcements

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 directed the Small Business Administration (SBA) to create a Governmentwide certification program for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. Effective January 1, 2023, SBA assumed responsibility for certifying Veteran-Owned small firms. If you have questions, please contact SBA at vetcert@sba.gov or 800-862-8088. Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. EST to speak to an SBA representative about the Veteran certification program or visit Veteran Small Business Certification.
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) no longer supports the Veteran Small Business Certification (VetCert) for purposes of verifying SDVOSB/VOSB certification status. Contracting officers (CO), SDVOSBs, and VOSBs should utilize the Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) database as the official system of record to determine certification status. If a firm is not listed in DSBS, COs should consult the static VetCert list verified with DUNS numbers but not added to DSBS. These firms will remain in the VetCert database until SAM is updated at which point the VetCert database will be sunset. For detailed guidance, COs may reference Civilian Agency Acquisition Council Letter 24-02, dated December 13, 2023.
