The dataset shows contracts awarded under a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-aside or sole-source authority to a recipient whose UEI has no SDVOSB certification record, current or former, in SBA's public Small Business Search.
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 set_aside_code ∈ {SDVOSBC, SDVOSBS} (or SDVOSB set-aside text) · first_action_date ≥ 2023-01-01 (SBA VetCert era) · obligated_total ≥ $25K · no sba.cert SDVOSB row for recipient_uei at ANY date (SBA's public data keeps only the current or last certification period, so a later period is treated as possible continuous eligibility and not reported) · not a joint venture (name, or SAM.gov business type JV) · not an order under a vehicle first awarded before 2023 (CVE era) · veteran-owned (VSA/VSS) set-asides not checked: the SBA pull covers SDVOSB-status firms only · signal = net obligations $
The dataset shows contract 36C24126N0449 (ANDY RAMOS ELECTRIC LLC · 241-NETWORK CONTRACT OFFICE 01 (36C241)) awarded on 2026-04-15 under a SERVICE DISABLED VETERAN OWNED SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE authority for $27,125 in net obligations; UEI DKAHJWDMD2F7 has no SBA SDVOSB certification record (current or former) in SBA's public Small Business Search and does not register in SAM.gov as an SDVOSB joint venture.
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.
Look the UEI up in SBA's Small Business Search (VetCert). Include joint-venture certifications, which may sit under a different UEI, and CVE-era firms whose transferred dates can differ from the original verification.
Under 38 U.S.C. 8127(e) a firm must be listed in SBA's certification database to receive a VA set-aside or sole-source award. If no listing existed on the award date, the file should explain the basis for the award.
Exercising options or issuing orders to an ineligible firm extends the exposure. Refer unresolved cases to the SBA VetCert program office or the VA OIG hotline.
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.
