Federal Acquisition Regulation; Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act of 1999

The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council are issuing amendments to FAC 2001-01, FAR Case 2000-302, Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act of 1999 published in the Federal Register at 66 FR 53492, October 22, 2001, to correct the language concerning the separate goal for service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns. Language was added in FAC 97-20 that service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns were to be included in the goal for veteran-owned small businesses. This was based on a statutory change. A further statutory change established a goal for service- disabled veteran-owned small business concerns that is separate from the goal for veteran-owned small business concerns. This statute was implemented in FAC 2001-01 but, inadvertently, some of the FAC 97-20 language intended for deletion did not appear in the published case.
