GlobalSCAPE® Joins Small Business Partner Programs
08 Setembro 2009 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
GlobalSCAPE, Inc. (NYSE Amex: GSB), a leading developer of
secure information exchange solutions, today announced multiple
small business program registrations. By law, the government
directs at least 23 percent of all government buying to small firms
and federal agencies are required to establish specific small
business contracting goals negotiated with the Small Business
Administration. During government Fiscal Year 2008, small business
received over $93 billion in federal contracts.
The Obama Administration has made small business participation a
central element of the economic stimulus package going forward. “It
is essential that we provide our nation’s small businesses with
maximum practical opportunity to participate in federal government
contracting,” President Obama said in an August statement.
GlobalSCAPE qualifies as a small business under SBA guidelines. The
registrations announced today position the company to work with
large system integrators and federal agencies as they contract to
meet the SBA goals.
The federal systems integrators confirming GlobalSCAPE’s small
business registration include Northrop Grumman, Booz Allen
Hamilton, Accenture, SAIC, EDS, and ManTech. “With these small
business registrations, we are continuing to execute our government
business development strategy,” said Jim Morris, GlobalSCAPE’s CEO.
“GlobalSCAPE is an attractive partner for these companies because
we have an established footprint and certifications in the
government market, as well as the financial strength to ensure
delivery on our commitments as a prime contractor or key
subcontractor.”
In addition, GlobalSCAPE has registered with the Department of
the Army Office of Small Business Programs (Washington, D.C.), U.S.
Navy Air Systems Command (Patuxent River, MD), U.S. Navy Military
Sealift Command (Washington, D.C.), and U.S. Marine Corps Systems
Command (Quantico, VA). By coordinating directly with such
agencies, GlobalSCAPE is able to identify small business set-aside
opportunities and work with designated small business advisors to
pursue teaming opportunities for larger contracts.
As defined by Part 19 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations,
the purpose of small business set-asides is to award certain
acquisitions exclusively to small business concerns. The SBA also
has advisors who assist small business in identifying and
contracting for certain government business opportunities.
“Government contracts can play a key role in helping small
businesses turn the corner in terms of expansion and job creation.
But make no mistake, the benefits the government receives are
equally as impressive – working with small businesses allows the
federal government to work with some of the most innovative
companies in America, often with direct contact with the CEO,” SBA
Administrator Karen Mills stated in August.
GlobalSCAPE’s CEO indicates small business programs open a new
dimension for the company’s business development activities. “Our
leadership team has extensive small business experience and
recognizes the business potential of these programs,” said Morris.
“While we have demonstrated our ability to win full and open
competitions, we believe small business set-asides and the broader
SBA small business goals provide additional opportunities for us to
win government business.”
As previously announced, GlobalSCAPE received its third
substantial order from the U.S. Army in April and has won contracts
with numerous other government agencies. The company has
established partnerships with leading government resellers and also
holds several industry certifications and validations. “We are
pleased with the momentum of our government business development
efforts,” continued Morris. “We look forward to participating in
these small business programs, establishing teaming agreements, and
extending our record of contract wins.”
