The Real Impact of SDVOSB Certification Transfer to SBA: Small Business COI Webinar
On Jan. 1, 2023, the Small Business Administration will take over the certification responsibilities from the Department of Veterans Affairs Center for veteran enterprises, which means that all self-certified SDVOSBs who are not already CVE certified will have to go through the new process in order to maintain any current awarded contracts that were set aside for SDVOSBs outside of any CVE requirement from an agency. Up to 75 percent of current SDVOSBs are self-certified and have not gone through the CVE process. This webinar will discuss the impacts of this move and the way ahead for CVE and non-CVE certified SDVOSBs.
