Can a surviving spouse bid on work while the paperwork is being processed by VA?
Owners are required to notify the Center for Veterans Enterprise when a change of ownership occurs which reduces the percentage of ownership by eligible Veterans or service-disabled Veterans below the minimum 51% threshold. In cases of the death of an owner, the business has up to 60 days to provide that notification to VA. Existing contracts will not be disrupted, but the business should not submit offers on new work until a new VAF 0877 application for the VOSB Verification Program has been executed and the business has received an updated decision document back from VA.
