As a veteran owned small business we understand the challenging procurement environment faced by both purchasers and suppliers.  To increase the diversity of our industry we are committed to increasing the number of certified small and veteran owned businesses by actively encouraging and mentoring veteran entrepreneurs.  We do this at both the state and national level through our memberships with veteran business advocacy groups, as well as direct business development relationships with veterans.  Through this advocacy we are able to grow the national veteran supplier base to create a more competitive and innovative business environment.
