Federal Registrations & Certifications
Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB & SDVOSB) Certification
At Landmark Federal Solutions, we proudly support veteran entrepreneurs in achieving official certification as a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). These certifications open the door to billions in federal set-aside contracting dollars annually.
Whether you’re applying for the first time or maintaining an existing status, our team offers strategic guidance, compliance support, and hands-on assistance to streamline the process.
Why VOSB/SDVOSB Certification Matters
Each year, the federal government aims to award at least 3% of its total contracting budget—around $40 billion—to certified SDVOSBs.
- VA’s Vets First Contracting Program prioritizes SDVOSBs above other set-asides
- Sole-source and limited-solicitation opportunities reserved for certified firms
- Increased visibility in SBA and VA procurement systems
- Veteran-focused business development programs
Note: SAM registrations must be renewed annually to stay active and avoid penalties or lost opportunities.
