  Apr 2010 - We’re proud to announce that we’ve been officially certified by the Virginia Department of Minority Business Enterprise (aka DMBE) as a Certified SWaM business owner. SWaM stands for “Small, Women and Minority-Owned” business and the goal is to assist the Commonwealth of Virginia with supplier diversity.

The mission of the DMBE is to promote access to the Commonwealth of Virginia’s contracting opportunities and ensure fairness in the procurement process. DMBE has two key goals: (1) increase the number of certified businesses in the Commonwealth, and (2) increase the total dollars allocated to SWaM vendors as a percentage of all discretionary spending or contract dollars.
