PENNELLVILLE — New York State Office of General Services (OGS) Commissioner Jeanette Moy recently announced that 20 businesses across the state were certified as service-disabled veteran-owned businesses (SDVOB), including one small firm in Oswego County.
The New York OGS Division of Service-Disabled Veterans’ Business Development (DSDVBD) issued the certification to Hamilton Tech Company, which is located in Pennellville and specializes in IT design and consulting, as well as 19 other companies, the OGS announced on May 6.
The DSDVBD was created by New York State government in May 2014 through passage of the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Act. The
state had 1,258 certified businesses as of May 6.
For a business to receive certification, one or more service-disabled veterans — with a service-connected disability rating of 10 percent or more from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (or from the New York State Division of Veterans’ Affairs for National Guard veterans) — must own at least 51 percent of the company. Other criteria include: the business must be independently owned and operated and have a significant business presence in New York, it must have conducted business for at least one year prior to the application date, and it must qualify as a small business under the New York State program. Several more requirements also need to be met.
