Award cannot be made until the contractor has registered. Offeror’s are encouraged to ensure that they are registered in CCR prior to submitting their Offeror. VA recognizes the contributions of our Nation’s veterans, and we strive to make contract awards to Small Businesses owned by veterans and service-disabled veterans. We also encourage prime Contractors to form partnerships and/or to pursue subcontracting opportunities with veteran-owned small businesses. Depending on the evaluation factors included in the solicitation, VA may evaluate Offerors based on their veteran-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned status, their proposed use of veteran-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses as subcontractors, and their past performance on adherence to small business subcontracting plans.

VETBIZ VENDOR INFORMATION PAGES (VIP) DATABASE: All VOSBs, including SDVOSBs, must register in the VetBiz.gov Vendor Information Pages (VIP) database, available at www.VetBiz.gov, to be eligible for award of a contract.

To receive credit under the Veteran-Owned Small Business and Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Status evaluation factor, an Offeror must furnish completed representation (Federal Acquisition clause 52.212-3 or 52.219-1) that shows that it qualifies as a veteran-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned small business or be registered in the Online Representations and Certification Application (ORCA) Web site (http://orca.bpn.gov) as a veteran-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned small business.
