Which verified veteran-owned businesses can I target or team with? Search SDVOSB / VOSB firms (from federal award records carrying the veteran-owned certification flag) by state, name, certification, NAICS, UEI, minimum dollars won FROM the VA, or most-recent award date (since). Returns the vendor, award footprint, VA-won total, and resolved entities-graph id — a seller target list AND a set-aside teaming signal. Public USAspending records; not a certification-status determination. [price: $0.05/row]
