SDVOSB Contract Opportunities

By the GovPrimer teamUpdated January 1, 2026

Find federal contracts set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), filtered by NAICS and agency, with alerts for new postings.

What the SDVOSB program is

The Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) program reserves certain federal contracts for firms owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans. Agencies can set contracts aside for SDVOSB competition or make sole-source awards below set thresholds. The Department of Veterans Affairs applies the strongest preference under its Veterans First / VOSB and SDVOSB rules.

How to find SDVOSB opportunities

  • Filter opportunities to the SDVOSB set-aside type.
  • Pair the set-aside filter with your NAICS codes for relevant results.
  • Prioritize VA solicitations, where SDVOSB preference is strongest.
  • Review award data to find agencies that consistently buy from SDVOSBs.
  • Enable alerts so new SDVOSB set-asides reach you early.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find SDVOSB set-aside contracts?

Search federal opportunities filtered to the SDVOSB set-aside type combined with your NAICS codes. GovPrimer lets you save that search and get alerts, and study award data to find agencies that buy heavily from SDVOSBs.

Do I need to be certified as an SDVOSB?

Yes. To win SDVOSB set-aside contracts you must be certified as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business through the SBA's certification process, verifying veteran ownership and control.

Which agency awards the most SDVOSB contracts?

The Department of Veterans Affairs awards a large share of SDVOSB work under its Veterans First contracting priority, but SDVOSB set-asides occur across many federal agencies.
