Status of veterans small businesses: hearing before the Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity of the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, U.S. House of Representatives, One Hundred Eleventh Congress, second session, April 29, 2010.
The Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006 (the 2006 Act) requires the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) to give priority to veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (VOSB and SDVOSB) when awarding contracts to small businesses. This testimony discusses preliminary views on: (1) the extent to which VA met its prime contracting goals for SDVOSBs and VOSBs in FY 2007-2009; and (2) VA¿s progress in implementing procedures to verify the ownership, control, and veteran status of firms in its mandated database. The auditor obtained and analyzed data on VA¿s contracting activities, and reviewed a sample of verified businesses to assess VA¿s verification program. Illustrations.
In FY 2014, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) made contract awards totaling $4.0 billion to veteran-owned small businesses, including $3.6 billion to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. VA must verify the ownership, control, and status of firms seeking such preferences. A 2013 report found that VA faced challenges verifying firms on a timely and consistent basis, communication with veterans, enhancing IT systems, and developing and implementing long-term strategic plans. This report assesses (1) VA's progress in establishing a timely and consistent verification program and improving communication with veterans; and (2) the steps VA has taken to identify and address program challenges and longer-term goals. Table and figures. This is a print on demand report.
