Federal Contractors Must Complete SDVOSBC Registration To Qualify For Set Aside Contracts

By Celeste Osborne


New opportunities are available for veteran owned businesses interested in doing business with the federal government. By completing their Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business or SDVOSBC Registration, firms who meet the registration criteria may bid on special set aside contracts. To register, the small business must be owned at least 51% by service disabled veterans.

Federal contracting regulations mandate that at least 5% of all contracting dollars be awarded to veteran owned businesses every year. During fiscal year 2013, over $23 billion was awarded to veteran owned businesses, totaling nearly 210,000 contract awards. In order to qualify for and bid on these set aside contracts, interested businesses must complete the proper registration.

The only way to gain access to these coveted contract awards is by completing VetBiz registration. The registration process for this program is very intense and requires many pages of supporting documentation. Filing the wrong form or omitting important information can lead to problems completing registration or even legal penalties. For these reasons, it is recommended that interested businesses seek help from a third party registration firm rather than attempt the registration on their own.

US Federal Contractor Registration has years of experience helping thousands of businesses complete their VetBiz registration, as well as their SAM registration and other necessary paperwork to bid on federal contracts.

To find out more about SDVOSBC registration, business owners may call US Federal Contractor Registration's Contractor Hotline at (877) 252-2700 Ext 1. During the call, a live Acquisition Specialist can advise the firm of other relevant set aside programs and contracting opportunities in their field.
