Every day, contracting officers publish SDVOSB set-aside pre-solicitations and solicitations for physical security. Access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, alarm monitoring, guard services, critical infrastructure. We bring those opportunities to your desk, pre-qualified and ready to pursue.
Veterans Affairs: Our Strongest Lane
The VA operates 1,300+ facilities nationwide: medical centers, outpatient clinics, vet centers, regional offices, national cemeteries. Every one of them needs physical security, access control, surveillance, alarm systems, and guard services. Every one of them buys under a procurement authority that puts SDVOSB firms first by law.
Under VAAR 819.70 (Veterans First), VA contracting officers are required to consider SDVOSB firms before any other category. Sole-source to $5M flat, all categories, no requirement to prove only one firm can perform. When we bring you a VA opportunity, the procurement rules are working in our favor by law.

How It Works
We scout.
Every day, federal agencies post opportunities for physical security: access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, alarm monitoring, guard services. VA, DoD, DHS, and civilian agencies.
We call for our team.
If the opportunity fits, we call you. You bring the qualified personnel and the experience. We bring the SDVOSB contract vehicle and the procurement advantage.
We write the proposal.
You say “we can do this with you” and we craft the response to the contracting officer.
We deliver together.
You perform. We manage the contract, handle compliance, and keep the CO happy.
Why AVV
Our principals have a combined 60+ years in physical security. The SDVOSB certification gets us to the table. The experience is why we win. A lot of SDVOSBs can check the box. We can check the box and actually do the work: scope it, price it, propose it, and manage it alongside you.
