December 2008 (Vienna, VA) – Solutions By Design II, LLC (SBD) received notification from the U.S. General Services Administration that its joint venture, SBD Alliant, LLC (SBD Alliant), was awarded one of the Alliant Small Business Information Technology contracts valued at $15 billion.

The Alliant Small Business Government wide Acquisition Contract (Alliant SB GWAC) is a competitive multiple award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity small business contract. The contract is designed to provide worldwide information technology solutions to federal agencies while strengthening opportunities in federal contracting for small businesses. The new vehicle will replace previously heavily utilized ANSWER (Applications'N Support for Widely-diverse End-user Requirements) and Millennia Lite.

"With the changing government procurement environment, the key is to be accessible to your current and future clients," said Ricardo Silva, Director of Business Development for SBD. "Consolidation of contracts, AWAC, and GWAC vehicles are becoming a common means by which the federal government buys good and services. Alliant SB was an instant priority for SBD. Ensuring that every government agency has an easy to use source to reach us supports our business strategy."

CEO and Managing Principal of SBD, Cida Goldbach, noted that the partnerships that comprise SBD Alliant joint venture was a key to receiving this award. "To get all 15 companies to sit down and agree to put a stake in the game was no easy task. We've previously worked with a majority of the companies in the JV. We were comfortable with them and we know how to do business with each other, we complement each other's skills sets, agency presence, and geographic coverage. I believe that our team has past performance or incumbency with every major Federal agency." "What the government gets with SBD Alliant is a unified contracting teaming arrangement with quality small businesses, offering the breadth, depth, and expertise similar to that of large companies," added Mrs. Goldbach.

SBD Alliant, through its members, has 22 offices located across the country with physical presence in nine states and the District of Columbia that will be leveraged to support the Alliant SB program. Its headquarters is located in Vienna, VA; with key regional offices in Boston, MA, St. Louis, MO, Littleton, CO, and San Jose, CA. SBD Alliant has a combined client base of well over 40 Federal agencies and has over two dozen marketing professionals and consultants with institutional knowledge and established relationships to promote the Alliant SB vehicle.
