Rec. 1.a: The DoD OIG recommended that the DoD Office of Small Business Programs Director conduct a review, in coordination with the Military Departments and Defense agencies, of all 17 contractors that received DoD Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside or sole-source contracts but were denied Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business status by the Department of Veterans Affairs Center for Verification and Evaluation to determine if they meet the requirements for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business status. Based on the review, the Director should take action, as appropriate, against any contractors found to have misrepresented their Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business status to the DoD to obtain contracts by coordinating with the applicable contracting officer to protest, through the Small Business Administration, any contractors that appear to be ineligible.
