Perceived Program Impediments
• “Second Class status” for SDVOSBs
• General lack of support for SB programs by buyers, program managers
• “Good faith effort” is too easy to document; veterans claim “lip service” by primes

Performance Watch – HOT Issues
• Buyers lack awareness of program
• Disability documentation confusion
• Eligibility “Rent a Vet” concerns
• Teaming Arrangements generate anxiety
• Vendor Readiness – Lack of Bonding Capacity
• Too Many Choices
• “Parity” among subsets
