A veteran owned small business in Connecticut gets a 15 percent price preference when the state decides which bid is lowest on a state contract. You need a Connecticut Veteran-Owned Micro Business Certification first, which requires the business to be at least 51 percent veteran owned with gross revenue no higher than $3,000,000.
Send a completed certification application with the documentation listed on it to the Connecticut Department of Veterans Affairs, ATTN: Veteran-Owned Micro Business Certification, 287 West Street, Rocky Hill, CT 06067, or email oaa.dva@ct.gov.
