The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) just sent out the following special report: link

In a plan to update its new Vendor Information Pages (VIP), on May 21st the VA’s Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE) will be temporarily suspending all new VOSB and SDVOSB applications for a period of approximately 30 days. Applications submitted before May 21st will be processed normally, but on and after May 21st any new applications will be delayed by at least 30 days. If you are planning to get CVE verified in the next month or two, you should do everything you can to get your applications in. Since May 21st is a Monday, we would recommend you get your application filed by the morning of Friday the 19th, as you can’t expect to get help if there are technical errors over the weekend.
