The Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Certification Program supports service-disabled military veterans who own a business and live in Kentucky. It is designed to promote growth among SDVOSBs and encourage these businesses to locate and expand in the Commonwealth. This certification program will also allow service-disabled veteran-owned businesses to compete for work in other states that require certification by a statewide body. Kentucky’s Small Business Connection Portal is an excellent resource that you can access to learn about new opportunities for your business.

In 2017, Kentucky enacted HB 161, which requires executive branch agencies to promote and publicize opportunities for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses to contract for goods and services and actively engage and counsel veterans’ organizations on contract opportunities. Agencies that use their Small Purchase Authority shall solicit at least one quote from a service-disabled veteran-owned vendor or business.
