How will the application pause during the upgrade period affect the NDAA 2024 mandate?
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) 2024 requires self-certified SDVOSB and VOSB firms to be VetCert-qualified by December 22, 2024 to be eligible for Federal goaling and/or subcontracting credit.
Self-certified firms that apply through the SBA before December 22, 2024 can receive credit for federal goaling or subcontracting credit until SBA makes a final determination.
SBA’s certification upgrade period should not limit SDVOSB and VOSB firms from claiming federal goaling or subcontracting credit.
SDVOSB or VOSB must have submitted an application before December 22, 2024 to claim this credit.
