Will the VA still have the VA Veterans First Contracting Program?

Yes.  VA Veterans First is codified in 38 USC sections 8127 and 8128.  The VA is still required to consider SDVOSBs and VOSBs first in its contract awards. The ability to award sole-source or set-aside contracts to VOSBs is unique to the VA under this authority. The VA will no longer certify or verify businesses; SBA is assuming full responsibility for SDVOSB and VOSB certification.
