The Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) certification is a California state business designation that enables qualified businesses to participate in state contracting opportunities. Issued by the California Department of General Services (DGS), DVBE certification provides access to state contracts and procurement opportunities reserved for disabled veteran-owned businesses.
To qualify for DVBE certification, a business must be at least 51% owned by one or more disabled veterans, be classified as a small business, and have the disabled veteran(s) control daily business operations. The certification process involves verification of ownership, control, and veteran disability status through the California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet).
DVBE certification provides significant advantages in California state contracting, including participation in DVBE participation goals, set-aside opportunities, and preference in state procurement. California state agencies have goals to award a percentage of their contracts to DVBE firms, and many state contracts include DVBE participation requirements for prime contractors.
