A small research firm can now sell its services to the US government
What happened
The US government has added a small research and innovation company to its list of approved vendors. This means the company can now bid on a wide range of government contracts without needing separate approvals for each one.
Why it matters
Getting on the Multiple Award Schedule is a bureaucratic hurdle for small businesses. It means the government has pre-vetted the company and its services. For a small firm, this opens up a huge new market, allowing it to compete for contracts it couldn't easily access before.
The signal
Watch for this company to announce specific government contracts it wins in the coming months, indicating the types of research and innovation the government is buying.
