QUESTIONS: Q1. In a Joint Venture, does the SDVOSB have to be the prime contact for the team? A1. There is no requirement for the SDVOSB to be the prime contact for the team, however the SDVOSB must be the Managing Venturer of the Joint Venture and have control over all decisions of the Joint Venture.

A2: Yes - the SDVOSB's must earn at least 51% of the profits earned from the joint venture and must be the managing venture of the joint venture and have control over all decisions of the joint venture. 38 CFR 74.1 defines a Joint Venture as an association of two or more small business concerns to engage in and carry out a single, specific business venture for joint profit, for which purpose they combine their efforts, property, money, skill, or knowledge, but not on a continuing or permanent basis for conducting business generally. For VA contracts, a joint venture must be in the form of a separate legal entity.
