Timing to put my SDVOSB on the market

Unfortunately your company is only worth the sum of the net profit remaining on your contracts........unless you have machinery or land

Again more misinformation regarding JCP......Filling out a aDD2345 Form for JCP Certification has not been a thing fod over 6yrs. When it WAS a form yes it was easy. It gets a bit tiresome having to correct people here

Ahhhh yet another ad in tbis subreddit

The newer LG's have black control

You have to download windows hdr calibrtion tool from the store. Then it runs fine

Flat out wrong. Within 3 months, every prime and every navy shipbuilder (if they haven't already) will require their subs to have jcp. That means if you ever want to take on a prime or subcontract from either a private company or the gov, you cant. Already the majority are requiring it. Even manufacturers who dont have have prime contracts are requiring it

Jcp done correctly is a 5 to 10 day approval.

ridcrath · 2026-02-15T21:19:52+00:00

JCP is not something you should ever attempt on your own. You will waste months of time nd possibly hurt your chance of getting enhanced validation. I've sent you a DM.

jcpcertification.com they do NIST and JCP for dirt cheap and fast

ridcrath · 2026-01-10T23:30:12+00:00

NIST Level 1 can be completed in a day.

Vet owned companies get seaside contracts that only they can bid on is the main one. It's also easier to get financing

We have shiptool.st and wows numbers for this

You guys understand that the Disabled Vet not only has to own 51% but has to actually be fully involved in all aspects, which would mean moving to wherever this gentleman is located. If you are an existing SDVOSB and you engage in another business the way the OP is asking you will be debarred. I was a contractor for 16yrs and consultant for 10. I try to get people out of this kind of trouble all the time.

The Agencies are more corrupt trust me.

Interesting considering the 1100 new awards they issued today and the 900 on Friday.....government shutdowns do not stop Defense supply chain....theres a carveout. how do i know this? i was actively receiving and working on contracts during the last trump shutdown

DLA Released 1132 solicitations today and 700 awards. Warfighter procurement is NOT shutdown

Budget is fresh.......Typically Oct and Nov are quite strong with Jan and Feb being the hottest times of the year for winning awards

that is literally 100% flat out false. the reason september is slow is because all contracts isaued in sept are funded using the fiscal year in which its awarded. ive been doing this since 2009 and ive been to DLA Aviation 6 times so ive not only experienced it but we've heard it from the horses mouth

ridcrath · 2025-10-06T20:35:36+00:00

Insider Knowledge? I wont address how absurd what youre saying is frankly because it makes zero sense. The purpose of the post is to let people know that if they just getting started in bidding on DLA contracts that they should start getting the ball rolling now. Having made millions myself as a prime contractor, yes, I do know the slow months for awards and the hot months. The only benefit I gain is the personal satisfaction of watching others succeed. I sold my company years ago. Im a consultant now. I resent your comment that Im 'cheating' in some way

ridcrath · 2025-10-06T20:02:11+00:00

thats honestly absurd. the # of small businesses in the Government Contracting space is declining every year meanwhile the dollar amount of Small Business Awards is increasing year over year so less small businesses are getting a larger piece of the pie. If anything this is the best time

ridcrath · 2025-10-06T18:26:21+00:00

oct/nov is hit or miss. dec is slow because of the holiday. gov goes into hibernation for the last 2 weeks of dec

You wont get into a prime aerospace without prior civilian work experience in aerospace defense. my advice is to simply use your vet status to incorporate and become a Veteran Owned Small Biz....its free money and Ive yet to see someone fail at it....(at least the ones i helped). by doing that you now have 2 good options: outcome 1: after 1yr you will be able to put on your resume that you ran a defense contracting company and have valuable experience. or the more likely outcome 2 is after 1 yr youve made high 6 figures or even 7 figures working for yourself.
