b.$83B in SUB contracts
FACT 3.However, over HALF of the 24 Government organizations that fall under the purview of Small Business Set Aside Program FAILED to meet their SDVOSB Earmarks in 2020! That means that earmarks were LEFT ON THE TABLE because easily identifiable QUALIFED SDVOSBs could not be found!
a.14 failed to meet their SDVOSB Subcontracting Goal because Prime contractors could not find appropriately qualified SDVOSBs
b.5 failed to meet their SDVOSB Prime Goal
FACT 4.Only 5% of US Companies are pursuing FedGov Contracts…Why? The FedGov contracting industry is “different” than most markets…HOWEVER VETERANS ARE NATURALLY AHEAD OF NON-Veterans in understanding this industry! Here’s why…
