Annual VEVRAA Benchmark: Applies to federal contractors and subcontractors who perform at least $100,000 in federal work in one year. Note that the $100,000 amount applies to the aggregate value of all federal work performed in a year, not the value of a single contract or subcontract. Effective March 24, 2014, covered employers must establish an "annual hiring benchmark" for veterans.
