The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is tasked with serving the millions of veterans who have served our nation. In carrying out its mission statement, the VA operates thousands of outpatient sites, as well as hundreds of Vet Centers, VA Hospitals, and National Cemeteries. To help meet the agency’s needs, the VA awards billions in contracts each year.

FY 2020 VA Contract Awards through GSA Schedule by
Socio-Economic Status
Nearly 40% of VA contract awards through the GSA/VA Schedule went to Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs) or Service-Disabled-Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). This is not surprising considering the VA is bound by the “Rule of Two”. The VA must award contracts to VOSBs/SDVOSBs if there are two or more VOSBs/SDVOSBs verified by the VA in the Vendor Information Pages (VIP) Database that are likely to submit an offer. We should note, this rule only applies to the VA, it does not apply to any other federal agency.
