This proposed bill would establish a government-wide 5% contracting goal for Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and give federal Contracting Officers authority to set aside competitions and make sole-source awards for VOSBs outside the VA.\nCarroll and Steven will also discuss a critical compliance issue for veteran-owned businesses pursuing VA set-asides: the frequently overlooked limitations on subcontracting certification requirement under VAAR 852.219-75.\nThe episode will also cover common SBA certification problems that continue to create trouble for contractors, including:\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1/6″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-solid fa-check” color=”juicy_pink” align=”right” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”5/6″][vc_column_text css=””]Why SBA’s strict “unconditional control” rules make certification extremely difficult for franchises[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1/6″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-solid fa-check” color=”juicy_pink” align=”right” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”5/6″][vc_column_text css=””]Why a veteran must be listed as the company’s highest officer, such as CEO, in the governing documents[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1/6″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-solid fa-check” color=”juicy_pink” align=”right” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”5/6″][vc_column_text css=””]What “fatal flaws” can undermine an appeal after a certification denial[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\nFinally, they’ll explore how veterans can use the 8(a) Program strategically as part of a broader government contracting growth plan.\nThis episode is designed for veteran entrepreneurs, VOSBs, SDVOSBs, and GovCon professionals who want to stay current, avoid costly certification and compliance mistakes, and better position themselves for success in a changing federal contracting environment.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_zigzag][vc_empty_space][vc_message css=””]\n“Ignorance isn’t bliss—it’s expensive.”\nGovCon Roundup Live is your survival guide to the wild world of federal contracting, where the acronyms are endless, the rules are ever-changing, and staying competitive means being sharp and adaptable. We break down policy changes, legislative updates, and industry shifts that signal strategic opportunities to pivot, reposition, and stay one step ahead of the chaos.\nWhether you’re a small business, a consultant, or someone who accidentally became a government contractor and decided to roll with it, this show helps you stay informed, make smarter decisions, and maybe even enjoy the ride.[/vc_message][/vc_column][/vc_row]\n
