DRO Receives Veteran-owned
Small Business Designation
Barry Polley, Program Manager, Education Programs, has successfully completed a
campaign to have DRO recognized by the United States Small Business Administration
(SBA) and the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, otherwise known as the
Veterans Administration (VA), as a Veteran-owned small business (VOSB).
This important designation means that DRO is automatically considered for award of
government contracts, many of which are set aside for VOSB firms. We have already
begun to receive electronic notification of contact opportunities, based on our
pre-qualification in the areas of project management, technical documentation, and
training.
Why is VOSB Status Important?
VOSB status is not only important to government customers, but to non-government
customers, too. Even current customers may be interested to know that we have VOSB
status, because supplier diversity is an important measure to the customers we deal
with every day. Please inform your Purchasing organization of our VOSB status.
Supplier Diversity
Whether your company is already a customer, or you are considering us as a potential
supplier, we want you to know that we are a member of this important segment of
American technology companies. Likewise, it is important to us to maintain a similarly
diverse set of suppliers to work with us. If you have VOSB or other qualified measures
for special consideration, please include that information in your initial contact with us.
