What SBA certification opens, what it requires, and why self-certification stopped counting.
Your state’s program
All fifty states and DC: who certifies, what preference you actually get, and the statute behind the figure.
Three things that are widely reported wrong
- The government-wide SDVOSB goal is 5 percent, not 3. The FY2024 defense authorization raised it, and it counts prime and subcontract awards together.
- Self-certification ended in two stages — January 2024 for set-asides and sole-source awards, December 2024 for goaling and subcontracting. Most write-ups mention only the first.
- State preferences vary far more than people expect. Kansas must award to a certified disabled veteran business bidding within 10 percent of the low bid. Six states offer nothing at all.
How this works
Listings come from the SBA’s certified-firm records, not from applications or advertising. Every firm page links to that firm’s record at SBA, so a contracting officer or prime can confirm the certification in one click rather than taking our word for it.
State pages cite the statute or procurement rule behind every figure. Where a state publishes nothing we could verify, we say so instead of guessing.
