What This Means for Your Organization
Corporate supplier diversity
Our NMSDC certification is the credential most corporate supplier diversity programs require to count spend toward their diverse supplier targets. State and local certifications generally do not satisfy that requirement. If your procurement team tracks tier-one diverse spend, our invoices qualify.
District of Columbia agencies
As a Certified Business Enterprise, we carry preference in District procurement. DC agencies are required to direct a substantial share of their expendable budgets to small business enterprises, and District contracts above $250,000 carry a 35 percent SBE subcontracting requirement. We work both as a direct vendor and as a subcontractor on those plans.
Maryland and prime contractor plans
Our Maryland MBE certification through MDOT counts toward the state's minority business participation goals. For prime contractors carrying federal or state subcontracting plans, our certifications and SAM.gov registration let us slot in without adding compliance risk to your bid.
The Work
Certification gets us in the room. The work is why organizations stay. Our clients include the Department of Defense, Leidos, Booz Allen Hamilton, Lockheed Martin, the ACLU, Howard University, the Kennedy Center, and the Museum of the Bible.
