VETBIZ (Veteran’s Business Verification Program)
The Veteran’s Business Verification Program (VETBIZ) is a government initiative designed to empower veteran-owned businesses and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs) by providing access to contract opportunities. This program, governed by the Small Business Administration (SBA), is intended to strengthen the economic livelihood of veteran entrepreneurs and promote greater competition in the procurement process. In order to qualify for VETBIZ, businesses must be owned and controlled by veterans or service-disabled veterans, and meet all applicable eligibility criteria. Upon satisfactory review and verification of their application, their contractor status is listed on the Vendor Information Pages (VIP) database and procurements are made exclusively available to them.
