$2 million to expand veteran procurement training
Senators Van Hollen and Alsobrooks announced a $2,000,000 federal investment from fiscal year 2026 appropriations to support veteran owned small businesses. The funds go to the Veteran Institute for Procurement (VIP) and the Montgomery County Chamber Community Foundation, which lead training for veteran owners who want to win federal work.

What the funding supports
According to the senators' announcement, the money supports the Veteran Institute for Procurement's small business and workforce training. That training helps veteran owned businesses, including those with service connected disabilities, learn how to pursue federal small business contracts, start and grow companies, and invest in their workforce.
Why training matters for SDVOSB owners
Certification opens doors, but winning federal work takes preparation. Owners need to understand solicitations, registration requirements, and how buyers evaluate offers. Programs like these help more certified firms compete for the contracts already set aside for them.
