Washington & Company Positioned to be Successful Contractor in the Government Sector

RALEIGH, N.C., Feb. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Strategy consultancy and professional development firm Washington & Company has been awarded the General Services Administration (GSA) Mission Oriented Business Integrated Services schedule contract and officially admitted into the 8(a) Business Development Program from the Small Business Administration (SBA).

"We are extremely pleased with the decision of the GSA and SBA," stated Dr. David Washington, managing partner of Washington & Company. "These programs have positioned the firm to be extremely competitive within the governmental marketplace."

The GSA and SBA programs will provide Washington & Company specific advantages within the governmental sector. The GSA schedule contract allows Washington & Company the ability to offer their consulting and training services to federal, state and local government agencies with greater ease for the procurement process. The SBA's 8(a) program will streamline the procurement process, allowing for direct sole-source contracting with Washington & Company.

These federal and state certifications will provide Washington & Company more access to federal and state government contracts, and the opportunity to strengthen its relationships with larger firms that provide Mentor-Protege Programs, Partnerships, and Subcontracting opportunities.

Washington & Company's awards and certifications are a direct result of a complex process in which the aforementioned agencies evaluated the firm's professional capabilities, organizational structure, performance history, customer satisfaction rating, and other criteria. "Washington & Company's participation in the vetting process of the agencies, serves as a testament of the firm's commitment to providing excellent service and quality to our clients," said Dr. Washington.
