The Difference
What Changes With Veteran Certification
Know the Difference
VOSB vs SDVOSB vs VBE/SDVBE Explained
All veteran certifications require 51% veteran ownership and control, but they unlock different opportunities. VOSB (Veteran-Owned Small Business) gives access to veteran set-aside contracts at the federal level. SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business) goes further — agencies can award contracts directly to you without competitive bidding, and the federal government has a 3% contracting goal specifically for SDVOSB firms. If you have any VA-rated service-connected disability, even 0%, you likely qualify. VBE and SDVBE are state-level certifications that open doors to corporate supplier diversity programs and state/local government contracts. FEDCON evaluates your situation and recommends the right path — or combination of paths.

Common Questions
VOSB/SDVOSB & VBE/SDVBE FAQ
VOSB and SDVOSB are federal certifications through the SBA's VetCert program — they unlock federal set-aside contracts and direct awards without competitive bidding. VBE and SDVBE are state-level certifications that open doors to state, local, and corporate supplier diversity programs. SDVOSB and SDVBE require a VA-rated service-connected disability. Many veteran-owned businesses benefit from holding both federal and state certifications.
The SBA's VetCert process typically takes 60 to 90 days once your application is complete. State-level VBE/SDVBE processing times vary by state but generally take 30 to 60 days. Incomplete applications get sent back, adding months of delay. FEDCON ensures your application is complete and accurate the first time.
Any service-connected disability rating from the VA qualifies — even 0%. The key is that the disability must be documented as service-connected through the VA disability claims process. This applies to both federal SDVOSB and state-level SDVBE certifications.
VBE and SDVBE are state-level certifications that open doors to state and local government contracts, corporate supplier diversity programs, and private-sector procurement preferences. They complement federal VOSB/SDVOSB certifications, allowing you to compete for opportunities at every level of government and in the private sector.
It depends on your target market. VOSB/SDVOSB gives you access to federal contracts and direct awards. VBE/SDVBE unlocks state, local, and corporate supplier diversity opportunities. Many veteran-owned businesses hold both to maximize their competitive reach across all markets.
VetCert certification (VOSB/SDVOSB) must be recertified every three years through the SBA. VBE/SDVBE renewal schedules vary by state, typically annually or biennially. FEDCON tracks all your renewal dates and helps you recertify on time so no certification lapses.
Yes. Many veteran-owned businesses hold VOSB/SDVOSB alongside 8(a), HUBZone, VBE, or SDVBE certifications. Stacking certifications maximizes the number of set-aside contracts you can compete for across federal, state, and corporate markets.
