We are now in the period during which agencies become sharply aware that they need to deploy any remaining budget before the end of the fiscal year or risk losing that funding in the following year. During this period, Federal agencies have historically committed approximately 31% of all contracting dollars. Government contracting officers will be looking for qualified contractors to provide needed products and services.
The Biden administration has announced a new initiative of "increasing the share of contracts going to small disadvantaged businesses by 50 percent by 2026 - translating to an additional $100 billion to small disadvantaged businesses (SDBs) over the 5 year period." These plans were announced on June 1, 2021, the 100 year anniversary of the Black Wall Street massacre in Tulsa, Ok.

Only 22% of federal contracting dollars are awarded to small businesses. Our goal is to be an agent of change by helping businesses owned by women, minorities, and veterans to get their fair share of the opportunities in the government market.
