On May 20, GTSC Lion’s Den Member Companies Agilex, BlueWater Federal Solutions, Inc., LeapFrog Solutions, Inc., and NCI, Inc. presented to about 40 Department of Homeland Security program managers and contracting officers. Each company represented a different midsize business category, and they discussed the lifecycle of a business in Federal contracting, the challenges and opportunities of being a mid-tier company, and the strategies they have employed to remain successful in this marketplace. During the session program managers and contracting officers had the opportunity to ask questions about their business process and provide suggestions to contractors. GTSC looks forward to planning more of these two-way dialogue forums about the small business process with DHS and other Federal agencies.
