SBA All Small Mentor-Protégé Program

Small-business agility, with the scale and security of a large integrator.

NineFX is the protégé in an SBA All Small Mentor-Protégé agreement with CS Federal. The joint ventures pair our engineering agility with CS Federal's delivery bench and past performance — one team that can staff a program at scale and still move like a small company.

CS Federal brings more than 20 years of federal delivery experience — backed by the scale of Consulting Solutions — and has deployed over 3,000 consultants in the last three years. Pairing with a mentor of that scale costs none of the small-business eligibility: the joint ventures qualify as HUBZone and SDVOSB small businesses, which gives you more than one way to put them on contract.

Which entity takes the award

SBA rules let a Mentor-Protégé joint venture take new awards only within two years of its first. That single rule decides who you contract with.

How to put us on contract

Three ways in.

Start with the capability; the socioeconomic status is what makes the paperwork easier.

Task order on a vehicle we hold

Order directly against GSA MAS or OASIS+ through Innovative Union, or run a joint Contractor Team Arrangement with another holder.

Competitive set-aside

Both joint ventures compete as HUBZone and SDVOSB small businesses, so a set-aside competition still reaches CS Federal's bench and past performance.

Sole source, where it applies

HUBZone and SDVOSB sole-source authorities exist under FAR 19 and are available to your contracting officer where the thresholds and market research support them.

For primes

One award, four subcontracting-plan lines.

Teaming with a joint venture credits every socioeconomic line at once, at a labor blend that holds when rates move.

HUBZone: The hardest line to fill on most plans.
SDVOSB: SBA-certified, not self-certified.
VOSB: Carried on the NineFX entity.
Small business: Credited on the same award.
