Yes. As a military family, we offer reduced consulting rates for veteran-owned businesses pursuing federal contracts. VOSB and SDVOSB clients receive a $300 consulting discount on scoped JCP, SAM, NIST, and federal readiness programs — applied after your free readiness review when scope is confirmed. Request a free readiness review and select your veteran-owned status on the form.

Start with a free federal readiness review and note your VOSB or SDVOSB status on the readiness review form. We verify via SAM.gov reps & certs or documentation in progress, then apply the discount to your scoped engagement.
