How does SBA review SDVOSB eligibility?
SBA reviews SDVOSB eligibility through its VetCert certification process, which includes examination of ownership documents, operating agreements, tax returns, military service records, and VA disability rating letters. SBA may also conduct site visits or request additional documentation. After certification, SBA can conduct program examinations at any time. Protests from competitors can also trigger eligibility review.
