The SDV-MPG has been in existence since June, 2016. We formed as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Kingdomware case and VA’s announcement of the development of a medical/surgical prime vendor program. Our goal was to insure that SDVOSBs would play a part in the MSPV program. From 2016-2021 we were under the umbrella of the National Veteran Small Business Coalition (NVSBC). As a result of decisions made by the new leadership of the NVSBC it was determined to be in our best interest to leave the NVSBC and form our own organization, thus the formation of the SDV-MPG in January, 2022. We have 22 member firms, all VA/CVE verified SDVOSBs. Over the past 10 months we have engaged VA at all levels; headquarters, VHA and the SAC as to our concerns regarding the current prime vendor contract as well as the draft RFP for the upcoming MSPV distribution contracts. We have also briefed staff of the Senate and House Veterans Affairs Committees as to our concerns
