Example: how a Fayetteville facilities company would get started
This is an illustration of our process, not a client story.
A Fayetteville facilities maintenance company wants base work. We register it in SAM.gov and research what Fort Bragg buys, who holds those contracts and when they expire. We check SBA certifications such as HUBZone, WOSB or SDVOSB, register it in eVP and prepare North Carolina HUB certification if it qualifies. A capability statement then goes to primes that need subcontractors.
