Small Business Administration 8(a) Sole Source Process
Background. Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act created a business development program that enables the SBA to assist small disadvantaged firms to develop their businesses. A firm is rigorously evaluated on its ownership, operations, financial health, and past performance before being admitted to the program. Once accepted, the firm is required to provide SBA a detailed business plan and show continued success as a viable, strong business entity. The program runs for a period of nine years. The SBA has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with Federal Agencies allowing them to contract directly with certified 8(a) firms. Participants can receive sole-source contracts, up to a ceiling of $4.5 million for services.
ISO 9001:2015 Certified
ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized Quality Management System standard published by ISO (International Organization for Standardization). A Quality Management System, as described in the current ISO 9001 Standard, helps an organization to implement streamlined processes and improve operational efficiency.
ISO is based on the following Quality Management principles:
CUSTOMER FOCUS
The primary focus of quality management is to meet customer requirements and to strive to exceed customer expectations. Sustained success is achieved when an organization attracts and retains the confidence of customers and other interested parties. Every aspect of customer interaction provides an opportunity to create more value for the customer. Understanding the current and future needs of customers and other interested parties contribute to the sustained success of the organization.
LEADERSHIP
Leaders at all levels establish unity of purpose and direction and create conditions in which people are engaged in achieving the organization’s quality objectives. The creation of unity of purpose and direction and engagement of people enables an organization to align its strategies, policies, processes, and resources to achieve its objectives.
ENGAGEMENT OF THE PEOPLE
Competent, empowered and engaged people at all levels throughout the organization are essential to enhance its capability to create and deliver value. To manage an organization effectively and efficiently, it is important to involve all people at all levels and to respect them as individuals. Recognition, empowerment, and enhancement of competence facilitate the engagement of people in achieving the organization’s quality objectives.
PROCESS APPROACH
Consistent and predictable results are achieved more effectively and efficiently when activities are understood and managed as interrelated processes that function as a coherent system. The quality management system consists of interrelated processes. Understanding how results are produced by this system enables an organization to optimize the system and its performance.
IMPROVEMENT
Successful organizations have an ongoing focus on improvement. Improvement is essential for an organization to maintain current levels of performance, to react to changes in its internal and external conditions and to create new opportunities.
EVIDENCE-BASED DECISION-MAKING
Decisions based on the analysis and evaluation of data and information are more likely to produce desired results. Decision making can be a complex process, and it always involves some uncertainty. It often involves multiple types and sources of inputs, as well as their interpretation, which can be subjective. It is important to understand cause-and-effect relationships and potential unintended consequences. Facts, evidence and data analysis lead to greater objectivity and confidence in decision making.
RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
For sustained success, an organization manages its relationships with interested parties, such as suppliers. Interested parties influence the performance of an organization. Sustained success is more likely to be achieved when the organization manages relationships with all of its interested parties to optimize their impact on its performance. Relationship management with its supplier and partner networks is of particular importance.
ISO 14001:2015 Certified
The purpose of ISO 14001 is to provide organizations with a framework to protect the environment and respond to changing environmental conditions in balance with socio-economic needs. It specifies requirements that enable an organization to achieve the intended outcomes it sets for its environmental management system (EMS). An approach to environmental management provides top management with information to build success over the long term.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS)
An EMS helps organizations identify, manage, monitor and control their environmental issues in a “holistic” manner. ISO 14001 requires that an organization considers all environmental issues relevant to its operations, such as air pollution, water and sewage issues, waste management, soil contamination, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and resource use and efficiency. Like all ISO management system standards, ISO 14001 includes the need for continual improvement of an organization’s systems and approach to environmental concerns.
ISO 14001:2015 standard is based on the following environmental management elements:
- Environmental policy
- Risks and opportunities
- Compliance obligations
- Environmental Planning
- Implementation
- Monitoring and corrective actions
- Internal Audits
- Management review
KEY BENEFITS OF ISO 14001:
- Better environmental impact management through risks and opportunities assessment
- Increased operational control over the environmental aspect of the activities
- Better integration of environmental considerations into the business strategy
- An improved correlation between the certification and the effective performance of the EMS environmental performance
- A generic High-Level Structure that facilitates the integration of parts of other complementary Management systems: Quality Management System – Asset Management – Health & Safety – Energy Management
