How do SDVOSBs stay in compliance with size standards?
Track annual revenues and employee counts continuously — don't wait for a protest to calculate size. Include all affiliates in your calculations. When revenue or employee count approaches the size standard, consult legal counsel before certifying. Maintain accurate financial records that reconcile with tax returns. Update SAM.gov representations when your size status changes. Conduct internal self-assessments before each proposal submission.
