SDVOSB stands for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, a federal designation for a small business that is at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more veterans with a service-connected disability. Embleholics is an SDVOSB.

Why it matters to a federal buyer:

  • It counts toward contracting goals. The federal government sets an annual target for the share of contracting dollars awarded to service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. Purchases from an SDVOSB, including small ones, count toward that target. If your office tracks socioeconomic goals, a coin order is a straightforward way to contribute.
  • It supports sole-source and set-aside authority. Contracting officers have specific authorities for SDVOSB awards, which can simplify acquisition on small purchases.
  • It’s verifiable. SDVOSB status is recorded against the entity’s SAM registration, so it can be checked rather than taken on trust. Our UEI is F3AGRUW5RT53 and our CAGE code is 1AYR0.

There’s a second, less procedural point. Embleholics was founded by a US Navy veteran, and the coins we make are largely for units and departments the people here have served in or alongside. Unit coins carry insignia that matter to the people receiving them, and that tends to be handled with more care by someone who has been handed one.
