Small Business and SDVOSB Compliance and Certification Support

The contract seeks consulting and documentation support to assist contractors in achieving Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and small business certification to qualify for a set-aside procurement under the SDVOSBC classification. The work involves guiding applicants through the complex certification process, ensuring documentation meets federal standards, and providing expert advice to strengthen eligibility and compliance for this specific set-aside opportunity. The North Little Rock, Arkansas location serves as the place of performance, with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, through the 256-NETWORK Contract Office 16 (36C256), issuing the requirement under NAICS code 541611 for management consulting services. Responses are due by May 5, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and the contract is structured as a subcontract, indicating it will be awarded to a vendor who will support other contractors rather than directly performing the primary procurement work. The goal is to enhance the ability of qualified veteran-owned businesses to successfully compete for federal contracts reserved for SDVOSBs, ensuring full compliance with certification requirements and improving overall participation in VA-led procurement initiatives.
