The Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization assists small businesses marketing to VA. The first step for businesses in the Washington, DC area is to attend a Vendor Counseling session. Sessions are held on the third Wednesday of each month at the OSDBU offices at 801 I St., N.W., Washington, DC in room 1208. You can register online. Other businesses may call OSDBU’s toll-free helpline, 1.800.949.8387 for assistance.

The Vendor Information Pages Database is the only Federally controlled database in which a legal verification process is used to determine service disabled or veteran status of a small business. All companies participating in the Veterans First program under PL 109-461 are required to submit evidence of ownership / control and veteran status before being awarded a VA contract under the set-aside authority.
