BTS, LLC Awarded Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise and Small Business Certifications

BTS, LLC Awarded Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise and Small Business Certifications

BTS, LLC is a premier systems and software engineering firm located in the San Diego area. They provide cost effective solutions and consulting services to public and private sector customers. Their most recent project is with the county of Sacramento assisting with a reorganization of the county's MIS department. They have just increased their competitive edge in public sector consulting by receiving their Small Business and their Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Certifications for the state of California.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 19, 2005

The Small Business Certification grants certified small businesses (SB's) a 5% bid preference on applicable state solicitations. Under the Prompt Payment Act, the state must pay a certified small business higher interest penalties for late payment of an undisputed invoice. California has a goal to use Certified Small Businesses in at least 25% of the state's overall annual contract dollars. The Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) Certification is a special qualification for businesses within the state of California that are wholly owned by a US veteran that has a service-related disability of at least 10% or more. California has a DVBE program that sets a goal to use DVBE’s in at least 3% of the state's overall annual contract dollars. By obtaining both of these certifications, the state can streamline its often expensive and time-consuming bidding process by contracting directly with BTS for projects valued between $5001 - $99,999. "BTS is positioning itself to be the ‘go-to’ consulting company for behavioral health as well as technology consulting, and these certifications will provide the final piece of the puzzle for BTS to partner with larger consulting firms and software vendors, as well as to set the stage for contractual awards," says CEO Jennifer Iles-Bullock.

BTS is growing in strength, and acquiring these certifications will only further add stability and marketability to the technology consulting company.

BTS is well positioned to provide solutions that enable customers to meet their technology needs, no matter how complex the problem or how aggressive the schedule. BTS employs seasoned technology professionals who are committed to excellence and quality.
