SDVOSB stands for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, a veteran abbreviation.
Federal designation for small businesses at least 51 percent owned and controlled by veterans with service-connected disabilities, which can receive set-aside and sole-source federal contracts.
Example: The construction firm won the contract as a certified SDVOSB.
Usage notes
Since 2023, certification has been handled by the Small Business Administration's veteran small business program rather than the VA. Federal agencies have government-wide goals for awarding contracts to such businesses. Veteran-owned small businesses (VOSBs) have their own category.
