HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., May 18, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bio-Clean International, Inc. (Other OTC:BCLE.PK - News) (http://www.bio-cleanintl.com) announced today that its affiliated entity, American Bio-Clean Corporation (http://www.americanbioclean.com), has received a new approval from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
John Finn, Executive Vice President and a Director of Bio-Clean International, Inc. said, ``We have just received written notice from the Department of Veterans Affairs that American Bio-Clean Corporation, one of our affiliated entities and a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), has been approved and added to the verified Veterans business database at http://www.VetBiz.gov. As a result, we are eligible to participate in Veterans First Contracting Program opportunities with the Department of Veterans Affairs and many other Federal and State agencies that are no longer accepting self- certification standards and will now require nothing less than approved certification letters from the Department of Veterans Affairs.''
Mr. Finn went on to say, ``American Bio-Clean is a founding member of this historic moment in the history of Veterans' small business ownership. The goal of Veterans Affairs is to establish a strong Veterans' movement by branding our status as a verified service-disabled Veteran-owned small business and to further promote that status. All Veterans are proud to have served our Country and it is our honor to support 'Veterans in Business -- Still Serving America'.''
The opportunities available to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business have greatly increased over the last three years to over three billion dollars. Federal agencies now take very seriously the mandated 3% minimum requirement to meet these requirements under Public Law 106-50 which mandates the requirements of helping veterans acquire a larger portion of Federal Contracts than ever before.
