Procure Mission-Ready AI
via the SDVOSB Set-Aside
Honor veterans. Accelerate delivery. Stay compliant.
Coa Solutions is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and 8(a) graduate. Using the SDVOSB authorities in FAR Subpart 19.14, contracting officers can move from validated need to funded AI capability in weeks—with no SBA offer-and-accept steps.
Why the SDVOSB Path Is Fast (and Mandatory to Consider)
| Benefit | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Sole-source up to $7 M (mfg) / $4 M (other) | If only one SDVOSB can fulfill the need, you may award directly within these ceilings |
| Competitive set-aside with just 2 offers | When market research shows ≥ 2 SDVOSBs, restrict the competition and still satisfy FAR Part 6 |
| 5 % government-wide goal | NDAA FY 2024 raised the statutory SDVOSB goal from 3 % to 5 % of prime & subcontract dollars—awards help your agency hit the new target |
| No SBA offering letter | Unlike 8(a), the CO owns the entire process—cutting 5-10 days of inter-agency coordination. |
| Certification already in SAM (VetCert) | As of Jan 1 2024, only SBA-certified SDVOSBs show the "☑ SDVOSB (certs)" flag in SAM; COs must verify this before award |
| Ceiling can grow with a J&A | Exceed the dollar limits by documenting |
How the SDVOSB Pipeline Works with Coa Solutions
1. Define Need & Market Research
- Draft a brief Statement of Objectives for the AI capability (e.g., multi-agent code remediation).
- Use SAM.gov and SBA's VetCert database to confirm at least one SDVOSB (Coa Solutions) can perform.
2. Choose Path
- Set-Aside – If ≥ 2 SDVOSBs likely to propose, issue an RFQ/RFP limited to SDVOSBs (FAR 19.1405).
- Sole-Source – If only Coa Solutions is viable and value ≤ $4 M / $7 M, prepare a brief sole-source memo referencing FAR 19.1406.
3. Verify Certification
- In SAM, confirm Coa Solutions' "SDVOSB-certified" status and responsibility.
4. Negotiate & Award
- Use FAR Part 12/13/15 procedures as appropriate.
- Typical pricing & terms reached in 5-10 business days for sole-source; add 5-7 days if a J&A is required.
5. Kick-off & Delivery
- Our Agentic Development Framework spins up test environments on day one, giving sprint-level transparency.
Typical Timeline
| Day | Milestone |
|---|---|
| 0 | CO completes market research & chooses SDVOSB path |
| 1-3 | Certification check & acquisition plan |
| 4-10 | Price discussion / RFQ evaluation |
| 11-15 | Contract award → Coa mobilizes |
Need to exceed $4 M/$7 M? Add 5-7 days for J&A routing—still faster than open competition.
