Veteran-owned small businesses can use this application to be certified by SBA to compete for federal contracts. Certified veteran-owned small businesses (VOSBs) will have the opportunity to pursue sole-source and set-aside contracts at the Department of Veterans Affairs under the VA's Vets First program. Certified service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs) will have the opportunity to compete for federal sole-source and set-aside contracts across the federal government.

NAICS CODES
To avoid restricting a certified VOSB/SDVOSB's ability to expand its operations into new industries, a firm must only qualify as small under the size standard corresponding to the NAICS code assigned to a specific contract.
SBA's certification process ensures that an applicant is owned and controlled by one or more veterans or service-disabled veterans and that it qualifies as a small business. For this purpose, SBA determines a business is currently small in at least one NAICS code by reviewing the firm's SAM profile.
