VA Form 2268

 
 
  1. Is a VA Form 2268 required to be submitted to OSDBU if the acquisition is not being set aside for SDVOSB or VOSB regardless of dollar value?

  2. Is a VA Form 2268 required when the acquisition is not a SDVOSB/VOSB set-aside yet will be set-aside for small business?


1.  Is a VA Form 2268 required to be submitted to OSDBU if the acquisition is not being set aside for SDVOSB or VOSB regardless of dollar value?

Refer to the latest OSDBU Policy Memorandum on VA small business procurement reviews.  Procurements not set-aside for Veteran-owned small businesses shall be reviewed as outlined in this memorandum.  Note that some acquisitions require review by OSDBU, some reviews are delegated to the Small Business Specialists/Liaisons, and some acquisitions require HCA review.

2.  Is a VA Form 2268 required when the acquisition is not a SDVOSB/VOSB set-aside yet will be set-aside for small business?

Yes. In its surveillance reviews, the SBA expects a completed VA Form 2268 to be included in the official contract file for each acquisition regardless of dollar value. However, the routing/approvals of the VA Form 2268 differ depending on the acquisition. Refer to the current OSDBU Policy Memorandum located at http://www.va.gov/osdbu/docs/FY-2016-SB-PRP-Policy-Memo-Revised-VOSB-062216.pdf for specifics regarding routing of VA Form 2268.
