SDVOSB sole-source ceiling — non-manufacturing
$5,000,000was $4,000,000 until 1 Oct 2025
- Citation
- FAR 19.1406(a)(2)(ii)
- Last moved
- 1 October 2025, from $4,000,000
- Checked
- 2 November 2026, against the codified FAR and, where it leads the FAR, the statute
- Note
- Moved from $4 million on 1 October 2025. SDVOSB is the odd one out: the HUBZone and WOSB non-manufacturing sole-source ceilings are $500,000 higher, so a desk guide that lumps the programs together is wrong here.
A services requirement under a non-manufacturing NAICS code. You do not expect offers from two or more service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and none of the 19.1404 exclusions apply. Up to what anticipated award price, including options, may you award it sole source to an SDVOSB?
$5,000,000 (FAR 19.1406(a)(2)(ii)), as of 2 November 2026. It was $4,000,000 until it moved on 1 October 2025.

One email each time it changes, and nothing else: this is not the weekly list. We send a link first to confirm the address is yours, and every alert carries a link that stops it. What we keep.
Before you rely on it: this is the codified amount in effect on 2 November 2026. Agencies on a Revolutionary FAR Overhaul class deviation use the same value under a different paragraph number, and your agency supplement can set a lower one. Check it against the current text before it goes in the file.
