Method, sources & caveats
Data: SBA Veteran Small Business Certification (VetCert) public export, snapshot Oct 4, 2026: verified VOSB/SDVOSB firms. No names, contacts or addresses are used here. Only counts.
Districts: as listed in each SBA record, checked against the current 435-seat apportionment. Some states redrew their lines for 2024, so a few records may carry an older district number.
Hidden locations: owners hid their location. They count in U.S. totals but not in any state or district, so district counts are a floor.
Ownership and readiness: woman-, minority- and disadvantaged-owned status, manufacturing and DOT DBE are self-reported in SBA profiles. "Capability statement on file" means a capability narrative or statement link is present.
Industries: estimated by keyword analysis of capability statements and business names ( of firms classifiable). Treat as directional.
Veteran population: VA veteran population estimates (2024) as compiled by World Population Review. Used for "per 10,000 veterans" only. Not available for territories.
Policy context: the government-wide SDVOSB prime contracting goal rose from 3% to 5% under the FY2024 NDAA, Sec. 863. SBA took over VOSB/SDVOSB certification from VA on Jan 1, 2023; certifications are generally valid for three years.

How to read this
"In scope" means firms most directly covered by that type of provision, based on SBA certification status and self-reported profile data. Actual effects depend on the final bill text.
Industry provisions use industries estimated from capability statements and business names. About half of all firms can be classified, so industry counts are a floor.
Districts as listed in SBA records, checked against the current 435-seat map. firms that hid their location count in national totals only.
Shares ("highest share") are shown only where a district has at least 30 verified firms, or a state at least 50, to avoid small-number noise.
