Summary of the Supreme Court Ruling (Court Ruling)

(at least 3% of prime contract dollars annually)

The Rule of Two requires the VA to set aside procurements for veteran-owned small businesses (VOSBs) or service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs) when market research indicates that two or more such entities would submit offers, assuming the award can be made at a fair and reasonable price.

Bertotti, Frank acting as a VOSB Reseller, facilitates the sale of products and services on behalf of the Team or JV partner. Each Federal agency has a directive that dictates what types of set aside contracts have priority status within that agency. Priority is then established within each agency to determine which set aside status gets the most priority and the greatest number of set aside contracts are then assigned to that status.
