So if I go to HHS and say I am a service-disabled veteran and I own this company and I want to bid for this contract, they just check I am a service-disabled veteran, but there is no one checking with the VA that they are actually a veteran, that they are service-disabled, and then there is also no certification that they are actually the owner or main part of this contracting, is that correct?
