AiTS Welcomes Native American Indian Tribally owned Mandaree Enterprise Corporation (MEC) and Service Disabled Veteran owned Technology TEAM

AiTS, an Asian Indian owned, certified MBE, has demonstrated its commitment to business development diversity by extending membership in AiTS' NuCO partnership to Mandaree Enterprise Corporation (MEC) and Technology TEAM. MEC, a Native American Indian Tribally owned business, and Technology TEAM, a Service Disabled Veteran owned business, join AiTS' nationwide partnership of 8(a), HUBZone, SDB, and other minority owned businesses dedicated to providing the federal government with state-of-the-art, cost-effective IT solutions.

James Bogaty, Vice President and COO of AiTS, said, "Diversity is not only about gender, skin color, or ethnic background--it's also about thinking differently. AiTS established the NuCO partnership, our state-of-the-art contractor partnering practice, to leverage the diversity of our partners to provide better solutions to government agencies. Collaborating with minority firms from a variety of backgrounds ensures that we are able to offer the strongest possible solutions."

MEC is a full service information technology and electronic manufacturing corporation. MEC's strengths include hardware, software, and telecommunications system acquisition and installation, as well as documentation, evaluation, and training services. The company was founded in 1990 by the Mandan, Hidatsa, & Arikara Nations - the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Ft. Berthold Reservation - with the vision of providing product diversity and flexibility to the IT industry. MEC is certified by the Small Business Administration as an 8(a), HUBZone, and Small Disadvantaged Business. Walter Hillabrant, Chief of MEC Washington office said, "Through hard work and dedication, Mandaree has developed a proven track record as a reliable, quality-oriented, and efficient government contractor, and has received national recognition awards from the U.S. Small Business Association, U.S. Department of Defense, and the National Center for American Indian Economic Development. AiTS can help us continue these efforts."

Technology TEAM (TEAM), a Service Disabled Veteran owned business, specializes in secure enterprise application development and information security, as well as other information technology program support. TEAM synthesizes business requirements and technical expertise to develop winning applications and services for customers. Judd E. Squitier, CEO and Founder of TEAM said, "TEAM's approach to system integration, configuration management, hosting/network administration, and security is a blended approach based upon industry leading best practices. TEAM's goal is to ensure a positive investment for clients by providing solutions that satisfy business needs and our new relationship with AiTS can help us achieve this goal"

Jim Bogaty further stated, "The addition of these two companies to AiTS' NuCO partnership enhances our strengths through access to additional talented personnel, greater bench strength, and an increased worldwide presence. They also enhance our current solution set, which includes IT, security, environmental, public relations, and organizational consulting, and our range of product offerings, which includes PC's; Minis and Maxis; data, voice, messaging and video systems; software; web hosting; fiber backbone networks; and Section 508 solutions. All of our solutions are accessible via more than 20 federal government procurement vehicles and a wide range of state and local government procurement vehicles. We can satisfy purchasing requirements ranging from full and open to every set aside category, including: Native American Indian, HUBZone, SDB, MBE, 8(a), woman-owned, service disabled veteran, and certified Buy Indian. We also offer banking and lease funding." Bogaty continued, "The NuCO alliance offers government purchasers a single point for all of their IT needs for any size procurement. This is a real dream come true for the Government Contracting Officer."
