Sec. 36 Procurement program for small business
concerns
owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans:
Sole Source Contracts
A contracting officer may award a sole source contract to any SDV-owned small firm if the firm is a responsible contractor with respect to performance of such contracts and the officer does not expect other SDV-owned small firms to submit offers for the same contract.
Restricted Competition
A contracting officer may award contracts on the basis of competition restricted to SDV-owned small firms if the officer reasonably expects at least two SDV-owned small firms will submit offers and that the award can be made at a fair market price.
In 1999, PL 106-50 established a 3% government-wide goal for procurement from service-disabled veterans. In 2004, Executive Order 13360 established agency requirements to significantly increase contracting and subcontracting with eligible veterans’ businesses.
Do you meet your SDV goals?

This SBA office can help federal agencies meet their 3 percent prime and subcontracting goals; and provide guidance to federal contracting officers on the criteria used to verify service disabled-veteran status, and determine business ownership and control requirements.
SDV Construction is
- Your service-disabled veteran contractor for general construction
- Your service-disabled veteran source for sole source contracts
"Let us work together to improve our record for awarding contracts to these very important people, the brave men and women who sacrificed their health in the service to their country. We can meet, and even exceed, the 3% statutory minimum goal for awarding contracts to firms owned by our service-disabled veterans."
~ Colin L. Powell, Secretary of State, February 24, 2004
