The dataset shows contracts, not made under a veteran set-aside, whose federal record flags the recipient as service-disabled-veteran-owned while the recipient's UEI has no SDVOSB certification record, current or former, in SBA's public Small Business Search. The flag is the vendor's own SAM.gov representation; these are observations only.
Glassbox VA surfaces correlations and observations, not findings of misconduct. Severity is the size of the match (dollars, growth ratio, concentration or firm count), not the likelihood of a problem; evidence strength (0–1) shows how well the data supports the match. Both are a starting point for review, not a verdict.
The match meets the pattern threshold, in the lower size band.
A mid-sized match. Pull the source records and read the listed benign explanations first.
The largest size band for this pattern. Larger matches are listed first; size is not evidence of a problem.
Severity is computed from the detection signal · app.award_current contracts with sdvosb_flag = true and no veteran set-aside · first_action_date ≥ 2023-01-01 · obligated_total ≥ $25K · no sba.cert SDVOSB row for recipient_uei at any date · joint ventures and orders under pre-2023 vehicles excluded (as for the set-aside pattern) · severity capped at observation · signal = net obligations $

Once a match is identified, the dataset suggests these review actions. Glassbox VA does not prescribe outcomes — these are calibrated options for contracting officers, auditors, and program officers, framed as correlations to investigate.
The service-disabled-veteran flag is populated from the vendor's SAM.gov representations. Compare it with the firm's current SAM record and SBA certification history.
Awards counted toward SDVOSB goals require SBA certification (FY2024 NDAA §864). Awards credited without it overstate goaling achievement.
These are calibrated suggestions, not directives. The dataset shows the pattern; the responsible officials decide the response.
Aggregated from the matches below. Severity bands are calibrated per pattern; counts and dollar totals reflect this snapshot only.
