FRONT ROYAL, Va., March 10, 2010 — Today, Ardent Management Consulting (ArdentMC) announced receipt of the U.S. Small Business Administration's (SBA) HUBZone designation. Firms meeting specific employment criteria may be designated as SBA HUBZones, which assist the Federal government in ensuring federal contracting and employment opportunities are available in underutilized and underemployed regions.
ArdentMC's principal office, in Front Royal, Virginia, is the first of multiple efforts ArdentMC expects to undertake over the next three years to identify motivated, qualified IT resources from outside of the Washington DC Beltway to support Federal Initiatives in the eGovernment, Homeland Security and Defense areas. ArdentMC delivers business process, management consulting, software development and systems integration services to a host of clients in the Federal, State, Local and Private Sectors. ArdentMC technical consultants specialize in Geospatial Information Systems, Portfolio Management, Systems Integration, and Data Center Consolidation. ArdentMC has expanded its Federal business, working with agencies to include the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, Department of Justice, Small Business Administration, and others.
ArdentMC's new SBA HUBZone designation means Federal program managers, contracting officers, and contracting specialists will have an easy avenue to allow ArdentMC and other HUBZones to deliver their services, assisting Federal agencies in meeting small business contracting goals and supporting President Obama's goal of helping bring new jobs to those who need them around the country.
"As a small business, working with the Federal government can be a challenge, and ensuring that federal dollars make it beyond the large beltway companies isn't easy. Our new HUBZone designation helps fulfill on the administration's commitments, while also providing an easier avenue for government agencies to work with ArdentMC. I'm thrilled ArdentMC has been certified as a HUBZone, and look forward to helping under-served areas gain access to new opportunities," said Brandon LaBonte, President of Ardent Management Consulting.
