Strategic Advantages
Why Partner with Us?
Partnering with APA, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), provides your organization with a range of strategic advantages, from streamlined procurement processes to a commitment to delivering results through our People, Technology, and Organizational (PTO) approach.
Simplified Set-Asides:
FAR 6.2 Compliance: The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.2 simplifies the process for SDVOSBs, eliminating the need for justification to set aside an acquisition specifically for SDVOSBs.
Streamlined Process: Complex procedures previously required for justifying set-asides no longer apply, allowing for faster, more efficient procurement.
Sole-Source Awards: After a 15-day Notice of Contract Action for Intent to Award, SDVOSBs can receive a sole-source award if no other SDVOSB expresses interest or the ability to meet the requirements.
Congressional Support:
In 1999, Congress expanded small-business opportunities for veterans through the Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act.
This Act established a 3% government-wide contracting goal specifically for contracting with SDVOSBs.
PTO Approach:
People Over Technology: At APA, we prioritize people first, using our PTO framework to deliver tailored solutions that emphasize human capital, continuous training, and collaboration before introducing new technologies.
Results-Driven Service: We set clear, achievable goals, aligned with client expectations, and supported by strategic change management interventions that facilitate smoother transitions and better outcomes.
Effective Service Adoption: We ensure our clients’ teams are equipped to adopt new tools and processes effectively, driving sustained improvements in organizational performance.
