I submitted a notice electronically via ftp/email and it got rejected for an invalid Set-Aside Value. Why?
The system conducts a validation check against the set-aside field for notices submitted electronically. This validation check will trigger a system-generated rejection if • the set-aside value submitted by the interfacing system is invalid and/or • if an originating agency other than the Department of Veterans Affairs attempts to submit a notice using the Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside. This rejection will come near real-time (within 10-15 minutes of the notice submission) allowing the submitter to manually update the set-aside value in the interfacing system. Note: SETASIDE is not a required field. As such, you still do not have to put a value in this field. The system will only run a validation check only when there is a value to check. The system will now generate an error if there is a value entered and it is INVALID. The system will not generate a rejection notice for a blank set-aside field value as not every solicitation has an associated Set-Aside category. To prevent
