VA Contracting Officers utilize the following guidance in determining set-aside preference for VA contracts: VA VETERANS FIRST CONTRACTING PROGRAM 38 U.S.C. 8127 and 8128 AND IMPLEMENTATION OF U.S. SUPREME COURT RULING Unique VA Contracting Authority The VA Veterans First Contracting Program and preference for SDVOSBs and VOSBs Sections 502 and 503 of Public Law 109-461, the Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006 as amended (38 U.S.C. 8127-8128) established a VA-specific program which gives priority and preference in the award of VA contracts to · SDVOSBs, and · VOSBs, in that order The program is known as the VA Veterans First Contracting Program and is implemented under VAAR Subpart 819.70. VA Veterans First Mandate for the VA Rule of Two · Under 38 U.S.C. § 8127(d)(1), when using competitive procedures, VA must set aside procurements for VOSBs if a contracting officer has a reasonable expectation that two or more small businesses owned and controlled by veterans will submit offers and that the award can be made at a fair and reasonable price that offers the best value to the United States. This is known as the VA Rule of Two. The Supreme Court has ruled that 38 U.S.C. §8127(d)(1) is mandatory, not discretionary and its text requires the Department to apply the Rule of Two to all contracting determinations. · Specifically, the VA hierarchy and contracting order of priority places highest priority with SDVOSB then VOSB before other small business categories such as, 8(a), and HUBZone programs, or Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), and then all other small businesses
