What Is SDVOSB Certification?

SDVOSB stands for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business.

It’s not a marketing term. It’s a legal classification verified by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

For a business to be SDVOSB-certified, it must meet specific requirements:

• 51% ownership and control by a service-disabled veteran
• The service-disabled veteran must hold the highest officer position in the company
• The service-disabled veteran must personally manage day-to-day operations and make long-term strategic decisions
• Any disability rating qualifies — even 0%, with no minimum percentage required
• Verification through the SBA’s VetCert program (certify.sba.gov)

Little 6 Industries meets all of these requirements.

Matt Harvey, the owner, is a service-disabled veteran with 25 years of Arizona Army National Guard service. He owns and operates the company, manages day-to-day operations, and makes strategic decisions. The business is registered and verified through the SBA VetCert system.

Why SDVOSB Certification Matters

If you’re a government contractor or a federal agency, SDVOSB certification matters a lot.

Federal agencies have a goal: 5% of contract dollars should go to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses.

This means:

• A percentage of federal contracts are set aside for SDVOSB-certified businesses
• Government contracting officers use the Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) database to find and verify certified SDVOSBs
• If you’re looking for a vendor that’s government-certified and accountable, SDVOSB status proves it

But here’s what matters even if you’re not a government contractor:

SDVOSB certification is a trust signal.

It means a service-disabled veteran staked their reputation and livelihood on this business. It means they’re personally accountable for quality, delivery, and reliability. It means military discipline—25 years of it—is embedded in how the company operates.

That applies whether you’re ordering custom DTF transfers, stickers, or apparel for your small business or your federal project.

The Trust Signal: Military-Grade Discipline Applied to Custom Printing

Here’s what 25 years of military service actually means in a printing business:

• Accountability: You own your mistakes. You fix them. You don’t make excuses.
• Reliability: If you say it will be done by Friday, it’s done by Friday. No surprises.
• Quality focus: The product is what matters. Not the talk about it. The actual thing you ordered.
• Discipline: Systems. Standards. Consistency. Every order treated the same way.
• Problem-solving under pressure: When deadlines are tight or orders are complex, we don’t panic. We figure it out.

SDVOSB certification doesn’t just open doors to government contracts. It signals that a service-disabled veteran is running this operation with military standards.

That matters to government agencies. It also matters to small businesses, nonprofits, and anyone else who values working with someone they can trust.

Proof of Performance: Real Customer History

The SBA system tracks performance history. But the actual numbers tell an even better story.

Here’s what the SBA profile officially shows:

Timberlake Crafts (Tucson, AZ)

SBA Record: $55,000

Here’s what the actual order data shows:

Timberlake Crafts (Tucson, AZ)

288 orders totaling $109,695.67
That’s 2x the SBA record.

Little 6 is Timberlake Crafts’ sole DTF supplier and primary shirt decoration partner. When their customers need custom printed or decorated apparel, Timberlake routes the work to Little 6. And they keep coming back.

Stella’s Shop (Sadie Barnum)

78 orders totaling $9,151.88
Ongoing relationship. Regular orders for custom transfers and branded merchandise.

Slate and Press LLC (Karen Shaker, Mesa, AZ)

101 orders totaling $7,752.91

Shot Kings Cornhole

19 orders totaling $2,828.85

What This Actually Means:

The SBA profile shows verified customer relationships. But the real order data shows these relationships have grown significantly beyond what’s officially recorded. Timberlake has become a major partner worth over $109K. Stella’s Shop and Slate and Press are two distinct, growing relationships. These aren’t one-time contracts — they’re ongoing, expanding partnerships with businesses that depend on Little 6’s quality and reliability.

The businesses trust Little 6 enough to keep coming back, order after order, month after month.

That’s proof.
