  1. Does anyone ever see where a Veteran-owned business has been awarded any of these
    contracts?

  2. Charlie, There is not even the reasonable possibility of a veteran owned business even being a subcontractor or supplier to this contract unless they had a national allowance agreement with sodexho and its distributors, giving them marketing allowances whcih are essentially kickbacks.

    There is zero chance of a veterans owned business otherwise competing successfully for the prime contract. Unless they underbid their fees and could afford to do so because of kickbacks they were receiveing from manufacturer supplies.

    All one has to do is read about the recent NY state 20 million dollar fine arising from Sodexho taking allowances from their house brands. PROOF. It is why the government pays too much for the food under the contracts as the marketing money amounting to being kickbacks gets added to the invoices to government. It is why Sodexho can underbid management and facilities to gain awards.

    They figured out they can meet their socioeconomic contract goals by having their usual brands create a veterans owned front company, or the like. Whatever is needed to meet a 8A or other goal as well.

    Its how they remain dominant and it is why SBA and DOD efforts to involve small businesses like presumably yours— are an ineffective farce.
