An SDVOSB that writes the software itself.
Be Chosen Agency is an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business building custom software, workflow automation, integrations, and dashboards for federal buyers and prime contractors. Founder-led delivery, not a staffing pass-through.
Who this page is for
You are filling a set-aside, or closing a subcontracting goal.
Most vendor pages describe services. This one answers the two questions that actually gate an award: is the firm eligible, and can it perform the work.
Contracting officers researching an SDVOSB set-aside under a software NAICS. Small-business liaison officers at primes who need a certified subcontractor that self-performs development. OSDBU and APEX counselors looking for a firm to refer.
BCA supports compliance-aware workflow and software implementation planning. Legal, privacy, records, procurement, cybersecurity, accessibility, FedRAMP, FISMA, RMF, ATO, Section 508, VPAT, Microsoft environment, and similar requirements should be reviewed by buyer-authorized reviewers or qualified partners before implementation.
What to verify before relying on this page
- Certification status in the SBA certification directory
- Entity registration and NAICS in SAM.gov
- That the work scope matches an assigned NAICS
- Past performance relevant to your requirement
- Capacity against your period of performance
What Be Chosen self-performs
Software built in-house, under a scope a buyer can review.
Approvals, routing, follow-up
Automated handoffs, task creation, reminders, and status reporting with human review gates where decisions matter.
Systems that stop retyping
APIs, scheduled data movement, and data modeling so records move between systems instead of being rekeyed.
Reporting leadership can act on
Operational visibility for volume, status, owners, handoffs, and completion, replacing manual status decks.
Requests captured as structured data
Calls, forms, and email turned into structured records with an owner and a next step.
One bounded workflow, shipped
A narrow first scope that ships, gets reviewed, and produces evidence before anything expands.
Why founder-led matters here
The person scoping the work is the person building it.
Small set-aside awards fail most often on capacity and translation — the firm that won cannot staff it, or the requirement gets lost between a salesperson and a developer.
Be Chosen is founder-led. Teton Wilson, a U.S. Air Force veteran, designed and built ChosenCRM, a production multi-vertical CRM and workflow platform, end to end. That is builder proof rather than a capability narrative, and it is the same person on the scoping call and in the codebase.

Claims posture
Procurement-safe public copy by default.
This page is a capability overview, not a certification, government endorsement, contract award, contract vehicle, set-aside eligibility determination, security authorization, compliance certification, or guarantee. Procurement identifiers, certifications, NAICS, and status items should be verified in official systems before bid, RFI, proposal, or teaming reliance.
Procurement verification note
Procurement identifiers, NAICS, socioeconomic status, certifications, and eligibility language are intentionally omitted from this public overview unless they are current, source-verified, and approved for the specific use.
Buyers and primes should verify official status in the applicable procurement system before bid, RFI, proposal, or teaming reliance.
Questions
Common questions before scoping.
What is an SDVOSB?
An SDVOSB is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business: a small business at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more veterans with a service-connected disability. Since January 2023 the certification is issued by the Small Business Administration rather than self-certified, and it is verified in the SBA's certification system. The status makes a firm eligible for SDVOSB set-aside and sole-source awards and lets primes count subcontracted work toward small-business goals.
Is Be Chosen Agency a certified SDVOSB?
Yes. Be Chosen Agency LLC holds active SBA certification as both a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and a Veteran-Owned Small Business. Founder Teton Wilson is a United States Air Force veteran. Certification status, NAICS codes, and entity identifiers should be confirmed in SAM.gov and the SBA certification directory before any bid, proposal, or teaming reliance.
What is NAICS 541511?
NAICS 541511 is Custom Computer Programming Services — the code the federal government uses for building software to a customer's requirements, including custom applications, internal tools, integrations, and web systems. It is Be Chosen Agency's primary NAICS code. Contracting officers use it to scope solicitations and to search for eligible vendors, so it is often the first filter applied to a set-aside requirement.
How do I find a veteran-owned software company for a federal contract?
Search SAM.gov entity information and the SBA certification directory, filtering by socioeconomic status and by the NAICS code that matches the work — 541511 for custom software development. Both are authoritative and free. You can also ask your agency's OSDBU or an APEX Accelerator for referrals. Verify that certification is active and that the firm self-performs the work rather than subcontracting it out.
What is the difference between SDVOSB and VOSB?
A VOSB is owned and controlled by veterans. An SDVOSB is owned and controlled by veterans with a service-connected disability, and it qualifies for a narrower and more competitive set of set-asides. A firm can hold both, as Be Chosen Agency does. VA procurement gives priority to both categories under the Veterans First program.
Does Be Chosen Agency subcontract the development work?
No. Software, automation, integrations, and dashboards are built in-house — the founder designed and built ChosenCRM, a production multi-vertical CRM platform, end to end. Where a requirement genuinely needs a specialist or a buyer-designated partner, that is stated plainly rather than absorbed.
Next step
Have a set-aside requirement or a subcontracting goal?
Send the requirement, the NAICS, and the period of performance. You will get a straight answer on fit — including when the answer is no.
