If you are a prime contractor or a federal agency that is looking for a SDVOSB-certified partner, you may have peace of mind knowing that Liuos Thinking Inc offers this certification. The mission of Liuos Thinking is to provide commercial and government clients with a comprehensive variety of cutting-edge services in the areas of logistics management, technology, engineering, and consulting. When the following conditions are met, the contracting officer has the authority to set aside acquisitions that exceed the micro-purchase threshold for competition restricted to service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns. These conditions include the following:
- Offers will be received from two or more service-disabled veteran-owned small
business concerns; and - The award will be made at a price that is fair to the market.
If the contracting officer gets just one acceptable offer from an SDVOSB in response to
a set-aside, the contracting officer need to allocate the award to the SDVOSB that
received the sole acceptable offer.

An annual government-wide goal of not less than five percent of the total value of all prime contract and subcontract awards for participation by small business concerns owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans was established by the Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act of 1999 (Public Law 106-50). This goal was established in order to encourage veterans to engage in commercial enterprise.
In accordance with Section 308 of the Veterans Benefits Act (VBA) of 2003 (Public Law 108-183), a sole source and set-aside procurement program was established for service-disabled veteran-owned small business organizations.
