AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is addressing important changes in its contracting process following the Supreme Court's Kingdomware Technologies, Inc. v. United States decision. This ruling mandates that the VA must apply the Rule of Two — requiring that at least two eligible veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs/VOSBs) be identified for consideration — to all competitive contract awards, including those issued through the Federal Supply Schedules. The VA emphasizes the critical role businesses play in its procurement efforts and aims to assist them in understanding how this legal adjustment impacts their participation in future VA contracts. To facilitate this, the VA Office of Acquisition and Logistics and the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) are hosting a series of webinars starting September 7, 2016, designed to explain the implementation of the Rule of Two and how it affects VA procurements. These sessions will include straightforward explanations and provide opportunities for attendees to ask questions directly related to the Kingdomware decision. The initial webinar and subsequent sessions offer businesses a valuable chance to stay informed and ensure compliance with new contracting requirements. Interested parties are encouraged to register promptly, as attendance is limited to the first 500 participants per webinar. Additional industry events, including the National Veterans Small Business Engagement (NVSBE), are also highlighted for further engagement opportunities.
