The advantages of working with an SDVOSB
Mission-ready solutions. Streamlined procurement.
Measurable small-business participation.
Amidon is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, bringing veteran leadership and specialized small-business capability to defense, public-safety, training and protective-infrastructure projects. For agencies and federal primes, working with an SBA-certified SDVOSB can support procurement objectives while providing an accountable, responsive partner focused on delivery.
Benefits for government buyers
Supports federal contracting goals
Awards to Amidon can help agencies work toward the government-wide goal of awarding at least 5 percent of prime and subcontract dollars to SDVOSBs.
Access to SDVOSB set-asides
Contracting officers may restrict eligible competitions to certified SDVOSBs, creating a focused acquisition path among qualified veteran-owned firms.
Potential sole-source acquisition
When the applicable requirements are met, a contracting officer may award directly to a qualified SDVOSB at a fair and reasonable price — currently up to $8.5 million for manufacturing requirements and $5 million for other requirements, including options.
Additional flexibility for orders
SDVOSB set-asides and direct orders may be used under certain multiple-award contracts, giving buyers more ways to acquire qualified products and services.
Highest veteran preference at the VA
Under the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Veterans First Contracting Program, certified SDVOSBs receive priority ahead of VOSBs and other small-business categories where that program applies.
Verified eligibility
SBA certification and the SAM record give contracting personnel a formal way to confirm status before award, rather than relying on a self-assertion.
Benefits for prime contractors
Helps meet subcontracting commitments
Federal subcontracting plans must separately address goals for SDVOSB participation, so qualified SDVOSB subcontract awards can help primes perform against those commitments.
Strengthens small-business participation
On applicable Department of Defense acquisitions, evaluators consider the extent to which offerors identify and commit to small-business participation — including SDVOSBs — through subcontracting, teaming or joint ventures.
May support evaluation credit
Certain VA procurements provide evaluation-factor credit when an offeror commits to using an eligible SDVOSB, subject to actually using that firm or another eligible SDVOSB for comparable work.
Teaming flexibility
SBA-certified SDVOSBs may participate in compliant joint ventures, giving larger partners a structure for pursuing work that benefits from complementary capabilities.
Supplier-diversity objectives
Working with Amidon can add veteran-owned small-business participation to a project while expanding the prime’s qualified supplier base.
A capability, not a pass-through
Set-aside and sole-source contracts carry limitations on subcontracting, and eligible joint ventures must meet applicable performance requirements. Amidon performs the work.
Read this part carefully
A certification is an acquisition pathway. It is not an outcome.
Everything above describes pathways that may be available. None of it is a guarantee, and we would rather say so here than have it discovered at award.
SDVOSB status does not by itself guarantee a contract, a faster award, a lower price, evaluation preference in every solicitation, or any exemption from competition. Sole-source awards require specified conditions to be met, including no expectation of two or more SDVOSB offers, contractor responsibility, a fair and reasonable price, and compliance with the applicable dollar ceiling. Set-aside and sole-source contracts carry limitations on subcontracting.
There is also no general customer tax credit for buying from an SDVOSB, whatever you may have been told. The real buyer benefits are procurement eligibility, goal credit, subcontracting-plan support and, where a solicitation provides for it, evaluation preference.
The Amidon difference
The certification gets us considered. The material is why we get kept.
SDVOSB status is one advantage. It is not a substitute for performance, and no contracting officer has ever been thanked for buying a certification.
Amidon combines veteran leadership with specialized experience in live-fire training environments, shoot-house systems, ballistic and protective construction, precast solutions and project integration. Amidon Shield, ArmorBlock, eShield and vShield are used by defense, law enforcement and security professionals where ballistic resistance, durability and structural integrity are required.
You get a capable project partner, and the procurement and participation advantages come with it rather than instead of it.
Where these materials are specified

- Live-fire training facilities
- Ballistic and blast-resistant construction
- Military and law-enforcement training facilities
- Critical infrastructure and high-security installations
- SCIFs, data centers and secure government facilities
