Partner with AVV
Federal agencies post physical security solicitations on SAM.gov. We review relevant SDVOSB set-asides with prospective partners and pursue only opportunities that fit the scope, eligibility, and workshare rules.
Veterans Affairs: Our Strongest Lane
VA requirements vary by facility and solicitation. Veterans First gives qualifying SDVOSBs priority under the VA set-aside rules; a specific purchase must still satisfy the applicable procurement requirements.
Under VAAR 819.70 (Veterans First), VA contracting officers apply Veterans First set-aside priority. They may make an SDVOSB sole-source award up to $5M when VAAR 819.7008 conditions are met; a sole-source award is discretionary.

How It Works
We scout.
We monitor public solicitations for relevant security requirements and evaluate fit against our capabilities and eligibility.
We call for our team.
If the opportunity fits, we call you. You bring the qualified personnel and the experience. We assess eligibility and plan AVV's substantive share of performance with you.
We build the proposal together.
You say “we can do this with you” and we craft the response to the contracting officer.
We deliver together.
We assign and perform substantive work under a contract-specific plan. Each party delivers its agreed scope.
Why AVV
AVV and prospective partners assess each solicitation, define substantive responsibilities, and build the proposal around a compliant delivery plan.
