Solutions By Design's (SBD) strategic partner SBD Alliant wins its first (Task Order) TO on the Alliant SB contract. SBD Alliant will be providing high specialized training services for the Army. SBD Alliant Program Manager Clyde Goldbach stated late yesterday evening, " It is great to know that something that was just an idea in 2008 is now becoming a reality," after receiving the award notice. "It has taken some time, but it’s the kick-start we needed to get the ball rolling on some great client support we plan to push to the Alliant SB GWAC."
"I can remember trading NDA's and working on the Alliant SB proposal... it’s great that our task team pulled this off. The credit goes to them," said Task Order Program Manager, John Sciandra.
The Alliant Small Business GWAC is a competitive multiple award, IDIQ set-aside small business contract. It has a 5-year base period with one 5-year option and is valued at $15 billion.
