This probably goes without saying because it’s your biggest headache—but if you’re a federal agency, getting contractors working on your project is a mission. There’s the long RFP you’ve gotta write. There’s the whole process of collecting and reviewing and grading proposals. And then there’s the oral presentations too. All before you even get to write the contract. Awarding it can take as long as the project you’re awarding it for!
Not so when you contract with Viderity. That’s because of a handy certification called “SBA 8(a)”. It’s intended to level the playing field for small businesses competing on government contracts. And it does this by making it much easier for you to award sole-source contracts to an 8(a) certified company.
Like us.
There’s also another way we can make your life easier in the red tape department. As you may know, the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) sets a goal for federal agencies to award at least 5% of their contract dollars to women-owned small businesses. And yup, we’re a woman-owned small business!
Not only is getting started with us is like chucking away the red tape, but contracting us also helps you meet your FASA goals. So you make the government happy…and satisfy a legal requirement…by doing less work. Seems weird, we know! But you can avoid the lengthy proposals and orals, and skip right to awarding a contract. The whole process takes just a few weeks—instead of months.
You’d think there’d be a catch here, but there isn’t. We not only have a broad range of expertise in-house, but we also have subcontract and teaming agreements with other firms for the services we don’t provide. Which means you can rest comfortable in the knowledge that sole-sourcing us means procuring all the services you need, with no extra hassles.
It’s almost like we’re the perfect contractor.
