Set-Aside Contracts

Which civilian agencies award the most SDVOSB contracts?

Beyond the VA, major civilian agencies awarding SDVOSB set-asides include DHS (Customs, TSA, FEMA), HHS (NIH, CDC, CMS), Treasury (IRS, FinCEN), State Department, and GSA. Each agency has small business goals and SDVOSB subgoals. Civilian agencies follow the same FAR Part 19 rules as DoD. DHS and HHS have large IT and professional services portfolios well-suited to SDVOSB capabilities.
