8(a) Set-asides
There are over 9,000 8(a) companies, yet nearly half of them never take advantage of this unique
certification. Government contracting is at an all time high, and all agencies are struggling with
meeting their 8(a) quotas. If you have the capability to perform a service the government is looking

How we help you maximize the benefit of your 8(a) certification
Our twenty-five years of experience with federal funding includes working for 8(a) companies in the
Washington DC area for which we were successful in securing several set-aside contracts. Among

the target 8(a) company prior to sole source determination. This is where we come in.
The service we offer you is based on our solid twenty-five years of government contracting
experience, and is comprised of five steps:
For this service our fee is $5,000 per month and the initial consulting engagement is for a minimum
of three months. We only work with companies that are serious about pursuing and winning
government contracts, and we do not accept commission arrangements.
