Small Business Participation (Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprise - SDVE)

Missouri is offering a preference opportunity for Service-Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises certified in the state to participate as subcontractors in supply, transport, or service roles under a procurement contract managed by the Division of Purchasing Procurements. The opportunity is tied to NAICS code 424720, which relates to wholesale trade of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, and is structured to encourage meaningful involvement of SDVEs in the state’s supply chain. The solicitation is open for responses until July 10, 2026, with the posting date listed as July 2, 2026, allowing certified SDVEs a limited window to submit proposals. Participation is restricted to subcontracting arrangements under the larger procurement and does not constitute a direct contract award. The contract is administered through Missouri’s procurement system and requires vendors to be officially certified as SDVEs by the state to qualify for preference consideration. The place of performance and specific deliverables are not detailed, but the opportunity is focused on supporting Missouri-certified veteran-owned businesses in logistical and service capacities related to the procurement.
