Abstract

VA VetBiz Assistance Program Pages (132VAOSDBU) has been combined with the Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE) VA VetBiz Vendor Information Pages (VIP) (181VAOSDBU). 132VAOSDBU is a system that is accessed by VA Procurement Decision Makers (PDMs) which allows the PDM to perform research upon Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs) and Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). This service allows the VA to meet the requirements for contract set-aside for businesses that meet specific qualifications. The system has been combined with the system covered by CVE VA VetBiz VIP (181VAOSDBU), the system used by Veterans to submit information to become certified as VOSBs or SDVOSBs. Certified VOSBs/SDVOSBs are maintained in the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) database. The records from 132VAOSDBU are combined with and stored in 181VAOSDBU.
