In a significant development for small businesses across the United States, the federal government has announced an increase in the allotment for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) from 3% to 5%.
This policy change was set to start on October 1, 2024. It shows a strong commitment to helping veteran entrepreneurs. It also aims to encourage innovation and competition in government contracts.
While we wait for confirmation of its implementation, this change offers a great chance for MedSurg and pharmaceutical companies. They can plan partnerships and get ready to engage with this larger market.
What is the SDVOSB Allotment?
The SDVOSB allotment is the share of federal contracting dollars set aside for businesses owned by service-disabled veterans. Historically set at 3%, this figure ensured a modest but critical allocation to support these businesses in competing for government contracts. The increase to 5%—if confirmed—will expand access, offering greater opportunities for SDVOSBs to participate in various government procurement programs.
This expected policy change shows that we recognize the contributions of service-disabled veterans. It also highlights the value they add to the economy. By incentivizing partnerships with SDVOSBs, the federal government encourages innovation, strengthens small business ecosystems, and ensures equitable access to lucrative contracts.
Why Does This Change Matter?
For SDVOSBs, the increase to 5% means better access to contracts with federal agencies. This creates a path for growth and sustainability. This change is equally transformative for companies in industries like MedSurg and pharmaceuticals.
The healthcare sector is a priority for many federal agencies, particularly the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which is one of the largest providers of medical services in the United States. With an expanded allotment, SDVOSBs specializing in medical devices, surgical supplies, and pharmaceutical distribution can play a more significant role in fulfilling government needs. This is a great chance for manufacturers and distributors to work with SDVOSBs like The DaVinci Company. Together, they can access these contracts and help improve healthcare delivery.
