To further advocate for veterans and guard against misrepresentation, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced that companies identifying themselves as small businesses or veteran-owned businesses to gain priority for some VA contracts must now provide documentation verifying their status within 90 days of receiving notice from the agency.rn"VA is committed to doing business with as well as supporting and protecting veteran-owned small businesses," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. "Although the verification process may initially be a challenge to some small business owners and to VA, it's a necessary step to eliminate misrepresentation by firms trying to receive contracts that should go to service-disabled and other veteran-owned vendors."
