T. White Parker Awarded Small Business Administration 8(a) Certification
Herndon, VA. August 15, 2007. T. White Parker, a woman-owned strategy and management consulting firm has been accepted into the 8(a) program by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). The SBA 8(a) program helps minority and other disadvantaged businesses better compete for contracts in the Federal government. The certification allows T. White Parker to receive business development assistance and to bid on contracts that are specifically set-aside for SBA 8(a) participants. T. White Parker plans to work closely with the SBA to firmly establish itself in the federal market, while continuing to provide services to other public and private sector clients.
"We are absolutely thrilled to be accepted into the SBA 8(a) program," exclaimed T. White Parker President and Founder, Tanaia Parker. "T. White Parker is now better positioned to help federal government agencies 'make mission happen' while also meeting their small business utilization requirements - a tremendous advantage." Though actively pursuing 8(a) contracts within the Federal sector, T. White Parker intends to maintain a significant footprint in the private sector remaining true to its origins of providing strategic management services to commercial companies.
Through the SBA 8(a) program, T. White Parker can be awarded Federal government contracts of up to $3 million on a sole source (non-competitive) basis enabling federal initiatives to get rapidly underway. This extraordinary benefit of the 8(a) program streamlines the competitive acquisition process and empowers Federal program managers to define the scope of work and select the best 8(a) firm to perform the work while being assured that bonding, insurance and other legal requirements will be met.
