About this workshop
Annually, the U.S. federal government allocates approximately $500 billion for various contracts, aiming to dedicate at least 3% of federal contracting dollars for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). Additionally, the VA will set-aside at least 7% of their contracting dollars for a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB). This commitment is part of the government’s broader effort to support veteran entrepreneurs, especially those with service-related disabilities.
