The Veteran-Owned Business Enterprise Program (VOBE) is designed to foster participation by Veteran-Owned Business Enterprises in the County’s procurement process.

The program includes an overall aspirational goal of 1% of the County’s total dollar value of procurement contracts to be made directly or indirectly with Veteran-Owned Business Enterprises.

For the purposes of the Veteran-Owned Business Enterprise Program, a Veteran-Owned Business Enterprise (VOBE) is defined as a business enterprise that is certified in the Veteran Small Business Certification (VetCert) Program as a Veteran-owned Small Business by the US Small Business Administration (SBA).

To qualify, veteran-owned businesses must be certified by the US Small Business Administration (SBA).  For more information on certification please visit https://veterans.certify.sba.gov.
