How about partnering with the Small Business "Set Aside" Market? 

Qualified Team Partners of a Veteran Owned Small Business shares the VOSB Status as well.  VOSB status provides unique access to small businesses "set aside" contracting opportunities. This allows small and larger companies an opportunity to partner with another small company like Bertotti, Frank that meets the federal requirements for the small business set aside contracting market. 

What is a Veteran-Owned Small Business  (VOSB) and how does it help my Business gain access to "set aside" federal dollars? To qualify for a VOSB certification, you first have to prove your veteran status with the Department of Defense Form 214 (DD214), which is received when you are honorably retired, separated, or discharged from the military. You must also directly own at least 51% of your business and manage it strategically and in day-to-day operations. 

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) grants the highest priority to SDVOSB and VOSB for "set aside" and "sole-source" contracts. This procurement authority and its subsequent implementation is a logical extension of VA’s mission, to care for our nation’s Veterans.  The VA refers to this program as the Veterans First Contracting Program (Per VA Acquisition Regulation Part 808, required sources of supplies and services for the priorities in acquisition).
