Strategic partnerships with Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBEs) provide businesses with a competitive edge in government contracting. These collaborations help non-certified businesses qualify for agency contracting and set aside goals while unlocking exclusive opportunities otherwise unavailable to them. Here’s how to make the most of these partnerships.

Why Strategic Partnerships Matter

Government contracts, particularly federal set-asides, and California state contracts, often require SDVOSB or DVBE participation. For non-certified businesses, partnering with certified firms offers:

• Access to Restricted Opportunities: Contracts reserved for certified firms become accessible through collaboration.
• Enhanced Bid Competitiveness: Partnerships improve evaluation scores and increase the likelihood of winning bids.
• Meeting Agency Contracting Goals: Certified firms help agencies fulfill their SDVOSB and DVBE participation targets, making your bid more attractive.

Key Benefits of Partnering with Certified Firms

1. Shared Expertise: Certified firms bring valuable knowledge of government contracting processes and requirements.
2. Increased Opportunities: Partnerships allow non-certified businesses to expand their eligibility for contracts.
3. Reputation Building: Collaborating with reputable SDVOSB or DVBE partners enhances the offer’s credibility in the eyes of the contracting officer.

How to Build Effective Partnerships

• Identify Complementary Strengths: Choose partners whose skills and experience align with your project needs.
• Establish Clear Roles: Define each partner’s responsibilities to ensure a seamless collaboration.
• Foster Long-Term Relationships: Focus on building ongoing partnerships for future contract opportunities.
