• SDVOSB's are a part of a federal set-aside classification making SDVOSB's a priority distributor to government agencies. Government agencies must assign a certain percentage of their procurement from federal set-asides by law. Agencies are also encouraged to purchase from SDVOSB set-asides by a rating system.
• Competition is limited to several federal contract opportunities to businesses in the SDVOSB program.
• Many DOD-sector contracting officers place intrinsic value on a business led by an SDV because they recognize that the military veteran's experience is an advantage concerning strategic risk reduction and specified knowledge of DOD goals, the steadfastness needed in settling obligations, and lessening of security risks.
• The SBA provides procuring agencies the authority to set aside contracts exclusively for competition amongst SDVOSBs.
• Many Federal and State agencies issue SDVOSB set-aside contracts and SDVOSB procurement incentives.
• When Prime Contractors hold large contracts, it is the general mandate that the prime contractor-ship/the large firm who initially wins the contract must meet small business participation or procurement goal such as an SDVOSB as a percentage of its overall contract.

• Public Law (PL) 109-461 entitled "Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006" provides VA with unique authority for contracting with SDVOSB and VOSB.
