SBA SDVOSB certification
LiveScan360 is recognized as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) under the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) programs that support veteran-owned companies in the federal marketplace.
The SDVOSB program helps ensure that firms owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans can compete for set-aside and sole-source contracts with agencies of the federal government. Certification is administered in coordination with the Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE), which verifies eligibility for the Veterans First Contracting Program.
For official program rules, eligibility criteria, and how SDVOSB status is used in federal contracting, refer to the SBA Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Program.
LiveScan360 Founder and how we qualify as Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business
Philip Lilavois, founder and CEO of LiveScan360, enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2009 and served until 2017, leaving with an honorable discharge as an E-6 Staff Sergeant. His service included a deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (2013–2014), along with multiple stateside and OCONUS activations.
Service-connected disabilities from his time in Afghanistan and from his broader military career meet the criteria for a service-disabled veteran under the SDVOSB program. LiveScan360 qualifies as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business because it is more than 51% owned and controlled by the veteran, in line with SBA ownership and control requirements.
