Federal SDVOSB contract goal met for a third straight year
Federal agencies awarded $32.5 billion in prime contracts to service disabled veteran owned small businesses in fiscal year 2025. That result exceeded the government wide goal for the third year in a row, according to federal contracting news coverage of the latest annual figures.
Goal compared with actual result
Bars are drawn to the same scale. The gap is small, but the result cleared the goal.
What the goal is
Congress raised the federal prime contracting goal for SDVOSB firms from 3 percent to 5 percent through the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2024. The goal tells agencies how much of their eligible prime contracting should go to these companies.
Why this result matters for small suppliers
A goal that is met every year signals steady demand. Agencies that track their totals against the goal look for qualified SDVOSB suppliers for office, IT, facility, safety, and supply needs. For a certified company, this means more set aside solicitations and more buyers actively searching for verified firms.
What this means for buyers
- Agencies are measured on veteran owned contracting, so they have a reason to check SDVOSB certification.
- Verified suppliers can be found and confirmed through VetBiz.gov and SAM.gov.
- Buyers who keep a list of certified suppliers can meet their goals faster.
