AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is addressing changes in its contracting procedures following the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Kingdomware Technologies, Inc. v. United States, which mandates that the VA apply the Rule of Two to all competitive contract awards, including those under the Federal Supply Schedules. This ruling requires the VA to prioritize contracts to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs) when at least two qualified veteran-owned businesses are available. To help businesses understand these changes and their roles in the adjusted procurement process, the VA’s Office of Acquisition and Logistics and the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) will conduct a webinar on September 19, 2016, at 1 p.m. EST. This session will offer a clear explanation of the Rule of Two’s application post-Kingdomware and provide an opportunity for participants to ask questions. The webinar is designed for SDVOSBs, VOSBs, and other interested businesses, emphasizing the VA's commitment to veterans' enterprises in securing procurement opportunities. Registration is required, and the session has a capacity of 500 participants, with additional webinars scheduled for September 26, October 3, and October 11 to accommodate more attendees. Participants will receive confirmation details after registering online. The initiative forms part of broader efforts by the VA to support veteran-owned businesses through accessible information and engagement during the adjustment period following this significant legal decision. For further assistance or inquiries, Robert Madden from the VA is the designated point of contact.
