Why Veterans Should Be Bidding on Government Contracts Right Now

Veterans across the U.S. are starting businesses at record rates—but many don’t realize they have a powerful edge in the government contracting space.

As a service-disabled veteran, you’re eligible for set-aside contracts that only other SDVOSBs can bid on. The federal government has a goal to award at least 3% of all federal contracting dollars to SDVOSBs each year—amounting to over $20 billion annually. That's real opportunity, reserved specifically for those who’ve served.

Additionally, many states offer their own incentives and programs. California, for instance, offers a 5% bid preference for certified DVBE (Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises).

The average small business contract value ranges from $50,000 to $250,000, depending on the agency and scope. With proper positioning and support, even a one-person company can land a high-value deal.
