I am certified by NVBDC, can that certification be transferred?
No, certification by the National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC) is for private sector supplier diversity programs. Many Fortune 1000 and other private sector companies recognize this designation. Additionally, there are other private sector certification programs for veterans, as well as state and local programs. However, in order to be eligible for Federal contract set aside and sole-source opportunities for SDVOSBs and VOSBs, you must be certified by SBA. There are no other organizations that offer certification for Federal opportunities at this time. Certification by SBA is free.
