How a $5 Million Federal Contract Came From a Vehicle This Contractor Was Never Even On

An 8a company can keep earning from a GWAC or IDIQ they got into before graduation for the entire life of that vehicle, even after their 8(a) certification ends. Eric Coffie breaks down how 538 companies stayed active on the STARS II GWAC after graduating out of the 8(a) program, how one of his own $5 million contracts came from a MAC vehicle he was never actually on by getting brought in as a subcontractor, and why calling the small business office for a name gets IDIQ holders to answer the phone in a way a cold call never will. He also shares that his team is currently negotiating a $10 million maintenance contract and two $4.5 million sole source IDIQs for five years, single award.
