If you have been awarded a government contract, your work begins now.  As you focus on fulfilling the terms of that contract, Gilmore Legal will help you manage costs, manage risks, maintain quality service, meet contract deadlines, secure contractors to fulfill services, and ensure performance. We can help resolve your contract administration issues to help you successfully fulfill your contract requirements with the government.

Small business set-asides are a powerful tool for helping small businesses win federal prime contracts.  The current, government-wide procurement goal is that at least 23% of all federal government contracting dollars should be awarded to small businesses.

In addition, targeted sub-goals are established for women-owned small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, firms located in HUBZones and service disabled veteran-owned small businesses.

These targeted goals are 5%, 5%, 3%, and 3%, respectively, and are meant to be subsets of the overall small business goal of 23 percent. These goals are important and many small businesses currently benefit from participation in these programs.  As a result, we provide advice and consulting to our clients who wish to qualify for Federal Government Small Business Set-Aside Programs such as the:

• 8(a) Business Development Program
• HUBZone Program
• Women-Owned Small Business Program
• Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business Program

Gilmore Legal has experience in helping small businesses with successful completion of the certification process.  We will work with you to determine whether your business qualifies for these and other government programs. Our services will include assisting you with the compilation of relevant documentation and preparing a detailed and complete application to obtain these valuable small business certifications.
