Contract Professionals, Inc. (CPI) is proud to announce our SBA certification as both a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), effective August 28, 2025. This is a meaningful milestone in CPI’s veteran-founded story and a clear signal of trust for corporate partners.
What this SBA certification means for you
The SBA credential is an independent federal verification of veteran ownership and control. It gives Procurement, Compliance, and Supplier Diversity teams higher-assurance documentation during onboarding and audits.
CPI maintains current certificates with effective dates, along with a W-9/COI and a concise capability statement. We also provide PO-level files that match your supplier-diversity templates and reporting cadence.
Dual validation: SBA + NVBDC
In addition to SBA SDVOSB and VOSB certification, CPI holds NVBDC Certification. Together, these create dual validation—federal plus corporate—so your organization can count veteran-owned spend with confidence and reduce approval friction.
Built for direct corporate partnerships
CPI engages as a direct, high-accountability supplier—no crowded vendor panels. You get fast intake alignment, clear SLAs, transparent progress updates, and dedicated recruiter pods focused on engineering, technical, and skilled roles. We track what matters: time-to-qualified-slate, interview ratios, retention, and hiring-manager satisfaction, and we review those metrics with you regularly.
Why CPI instead of another staffing firm
- Veteran-owned credibility: SBA verification adds federal-level confidence; NVBDC adds corporate-level acceptance
- Speed and quality: Disciplined intake and direct feedback loops shorten submittal-to-interview and offer cycles
- Transparent reporting: PO-level veteran-owned spend and optional funnel metrics by role family and business unit
- Leadership and legacy: Founded by Steve York (Founder & CEO) and led by Jack Van Tiem (President), CPI has delivered since 1982 with service, integrity, and measurable outcomes at the core
What changes for partners
- SBA letter on file: Confirms CPI’s SDVOSB and VOSB status as of August 28, 2025
- Ongoing compliance: First SBA renewal is due August 28, 2028; we will maintain current documentation for audits
- Fewer hurdles: Dual-verified credentials and plug-and-play reporting across your internal dashboards
