Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business

Founded and led by a Service Disabled Veteran.

Kindhouse is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business in formation, founded, owned, and led by a Navy Civil Engineer Corps veteran. Our SDVOSB status is not a procurement convenience. It is a reflection of who we are and how we operate.

What It Means

A federal and state designation with real procurement impact.

The SDVOSB designation is awarded to businesses majority-owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans. It unlocks access to federal set-aside contracts, sole-source awards, and state DVBE participation goals, giving public agencies a straightforward path to meet their small business and veteran contracting objectives.

For owners and agencies that value both technical excellence and mission alignment, Kindhouse delivers both without compromise.

Set-Aside Eligibility

Programs we qualify for.

SDVOSB

Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business

The primary federal set-aside designation. SDVOSB firms are eligible for sole-source and competitive set-aside contracts across federal agencies under the Veterans First Contracting Program.

VOSB

Veteran-Owned Small Business

A broader designation covering all veteran-owned firms. Kindhouse qualifies under both SDVOSB and VOSB, providing maximum flexibility across federal procurement vehicles.

CA SB/DVBE

California Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise

California state agencies are required to achieve a 3% DVBE participation goal on applicable contracts. Kindhouse is positioned to support state and local agency procurement objectives.

Our Commitment

What veteran ownership means in practice.

01

Veteran Leadership at Every Level

Kindhouse is not veteran-affiliated in name only. The firm is founded, owned, and led by a service-disabled veteran. Every engagement reflects the discipline, accountability, and mission focus instilled through military service.

02

No Passthrough. No Shell.

Kindhouse performs the work. We are not a front for a larger firm, a teaming vehicle, or a set-aside pass-through. When you contract with Kindhouse, you get Kindhouse: the principal, in the field, accountable.

03

Aligned with the Mission

Public agencies and federal owners have a mandate to support veteran-owned businesses. Kindhouse makes that mandate easy to fulfill, with a firm that delivers at the highest level of technical and advisory capability.

Military Background

Navy Civil Engineer Corps. Built for this work.

The Navy Civil Engineer Corps is one of the most demanding engineering leadership pipelines in the world. CEC officers plan, design, build, and operate facilities and infrastructure in austere environments, under pressure, on compressed timelines, with no margin for failure.

That background is not incidental to what Kindhouse does. It is the foundation. The discipline, the systems thinking, the accountability culture: all of it transfers directly to how we manage capital programs for our clients.
