Rule of Two
Veterans First Contracting Program - the Program,
which gives preference to SDVOSBs and VOSBs, was
created by 38 U.S.C. 8127 and 8128 and implemented by
VA in 2009.
2016 Supreme Court (SCOTUS) Decision
• Prior to the decision, VA believed and two lower courts agreed, that
the Program did not apply when placing orders under FAR subpart
8.4, the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS).
• The SCOTUS decision overruled the lower courts and decided that
the Program does apply to FSS orders and is mandatory not
discretionary.

Rule of Two (Continued)
Rule of Two – The process whereby a contracting officer of
the VA, “shall award contracts on the basis of competition
restricted to small business concerns owned and controlled
by veterans if the contracting officer has a reasonable
expectation that two or more small business concerns
owned and controlled by veterans will submit offers and
that the award can be made at a fair and reasonable price
that offers best value to the United States.”
Market Research - Must be conducted to support the
Government’s acquisition strategy.
Office of Acquisition, Logistics, and Construction Construction & Facilities Management 7
Rule of Two (Continued)
Impact: CFM anticipates that the Rule of Two decision will
not have a significant impact on Construction procurements,
but there is the potential for a noticeable increase in awards
to SDVOSB/VOSBs for A/E and other services.
Certification Requirement: In order to compete for awards
under the Veterans First Contracting Program, eligible
SDVOSBs/VOSBs must first be verified by the Center for
Verification and Evaluation (CVE).
