Executive Order 13360 (69 FR 62549, October 26, 2004) gives additional responsibilities to GSA to:
(a) Develop a strategy to implement the policy set forth in Executive Order 13360. This policy states that agencies shall provide the opportunity for service-disabled veteran businesses to significantly increase the Federal contracting and subcontracting of such businesses. To achieve that objective, agencies shall more effectively implement section 15(g) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 644(g)), which provides that the President must establish a goal of not less than 3 percent for participation by service-disabled veteran businesses in Federal contracting, and section 36 of that Act (15 U.S.C. 657f), which gives agency contracting officers the authority to reserve certain procurements for service-disabled veteran businesses.
(b) GSA must make its strategy publicly available and report annually to the Administrator of the Small Business Administration on implementation of the agency’s strategy.
(c) The Administrator of General Services Administration shall:
(1) Establish a Government-wide Acquisition Contract reserved for participation by service-disabled veteran businesses; and
(2) Assist service-disabled veteran businesses to be included in Federal Supply Schedules.
(d) GSA maintains a service-disabled veteran-owned small business website, (www.gsa.gov/service-disabled.) This website targets the GSA acquisition community and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses by providing current information about the program and other information such as Frequently Asked Questions.
