Verify us: SAM.gov · SBA Small Business Search
You need a vendor who is eligible, capable, and easy to award to. STG is certified through SBA’s VetCert program and shows in SAM.gov, so set-asides, sole-source awards, and goal credit hold up at every agency. Every quote spells out model numbers, country of origin, lead times, and line-item pricing, with the manufacturer’s authorization letter when your RFQ says brand name or equal. Evaluate and award without a round of follow-up emails.
Certified, not self-declared
SBA VetCert certification you can confirm in SAM.gov before award. Self-certification no longer counts. Ours does.
Authorized by the manufacturers
Genuine Canon, Ricoh, and Brother equipment, parts, and supplies, installed and serviced by factory-trained technicians.
Local techs, national reach
Our own technicians cover 16 Northern California counties. With Brother USA and OEM partners, we deploy anywhere in the U.S.

Buying equipment outright on an SDVOSB set-aside brings in SBA’s nonmanufacturer rule at any dollar value. Leases, service agreements, and managed print generally do not. See the nonmanufacturer rule below before you choose a path.
FAR 2.101 as adjusted by FAC 2025-06 · FAR 13.201 · 13 CFR 128.404 to 128.406 · FAR 19.7
Set-aside and sole-source authority for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses comes from the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 657f), SBA’s rules at 13 CFR Part 128, and FAR Part 19. In practice it is three steps.
There is no order of precedence among 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB. An award to a certified SDVOSB counts toward the government-wide SDVOSB goal, now 5 percent of prime contract dollars, whatever the competition type. Orders under multiple-award contracts and the GSA Schedule may be set aside for SDVOSBs at your discretion, and that choice cannot be protested.

It depends on what you are buying.

The Department of Veterans Affairs operates under its own, stronger veteran-first statute. The Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006 (38 U.S.C. 8127) requires VA contracting officers to set aside an acquisition for SDVOSBs, then for VOSBs, whenever they reasonably expect two or more such firms to submit offers at a fair and reasonable price that offers best value.
In Kingdomware Technologies v. United States (2016), the Supreme Court unanimously held that the Rule of Two is mandatory and applies to VA’s orders under the Federal Supply Schedule, not just open-market contracts. VA implements the program in VAAR subpart 819.70, which requires SBA VetCert certification and sets VA’s order of priority: SDVOSBs first, then VOSBs.

Pricing is based on manufacturer GSA Schedule rates, which keeps your fair-and-reasonable determination simple.
David Scott served in the U.S. Marine Corps infantry from 1999 to 2003 with 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines, deploying three times to the Middle East.
He is a service-disabled veteran, and he owns and controls Scott Technology Group. His father, Giles Scott, founded the company in 1995 after two decades as a copier technician.
Bring a requirement, a question about set-asides, or a fleet that needs a fresh look. You’ll leave with a clear acquisition path, and the documents you need follow right after.
