Executive Order Calling for More Contracting with Disabled Vet Businesses
President Bush October 21 signed Executive Order 13,360 requiring heads of agencies to provide increased federal contracting and subcontracting opportunities for service-disabled veteran businesses (SDVBs). A SDVB is considered a small business concern owned and controlled by a disabled veteran. Under the new order, agency heads must develop strategies to implement the policy, report annually to the Small Business Administration and designate a senior-level official to be responsible for implementing the strategy. Each agency, in turn, must reserve contracts exclusively for SDVBs, encourage SDVBs to participate, encourage prime contractors to subcontract with SDVBs, monitor these efforts and train agency personnel.
