What are VA's subcontracting goals for SDVOSBs?
VA requires large business prime contractors to include SDVOSB and VOSB subcontracting goals in their subcontracting plans. The specific percentage varies by contract but VA has government-wide subcontracting goals that favor veteran-owned businesses. Large primes failing to meet their SDVOSB subcontracting goals may be downgraded in CPARS and face past performance consequences on future bids.
