21 Days of HUBZone

This is just one of the ways the Council and its members were able to G.I.V.E. (Gift, Impact, Value, and Elements) in 2021.

GIFT. The Gift that keeps giving is the 13 HUBZone Virtual Pitches hosted by TargetGov and Sponsored by AstraZeneca. The Council worked with TargetGov a consulting service and business development company along with AstraZeneca a global science-led biopharmaceutical business to spark nationwide interest in HUBZone Companies.

The following HUBZone companies competed for the Who Said It Best? Elevator Pitch Competition TM. The stakes were high $500 for the Public’s Choice Award and a Grand Prize of $1,000 for the Judge’s Choice.

PUBLIC'S CHOICE $500 WINNER

OTHER ENTRIES

IMPACT. The competition was tight for the Public’s Choice Award. People voted from all over the nation on what HUBZone company had the most effective pitch. When TargetGov calculated all the votes the winner of the Public’s Choice Award was BNL Consulting LLC. This industry leader in the data analytics, data visualization, and enterprise integration space walked away with a check from AstraZeneca of $500.

Not to be outdone, V-Tech Solutions, Inc. was the ultimate winner with the Judge’s Choice Award of $1,000. V-Tech has been breaking all kinds of records providing health, technology, professional service during the COVID pandemic. For the District of Columbia, they provided COVID emergency nursing services related to drug treatment, recovery, and prevention. In Montgomery Alabama, they hired over 100 call service representatives for the Department of Education and will be hiring an additional 100 in January 2022.

If that has not been keeping this HUBZone Company busy enough, their President

Victor Holt testified in October to the House Committee on Small Business

Subcommittee on Contracting and Infrastructure on “Growing the Small Business Supplier Base in Government Contracting”. One of his most memorable quotes to the U.S. House of Congress was “…category management also does not achieve the law’s stated goal of utilizing small businesses to the “maximum practicable extent possible,” and will make reaching government-wide small business goals even more difficult. The utilization of HUBZone companies already poses a problem for the government – it has never reached the 3% goal. Further limiting contract competition to utilize only multiple award contracts will have a devastating effect on small business participation in federal contracting.”

VALUE. 13 HUBZone companies received targeted exposure allowing them to increase their national footprint in the federal, local and private industry. Our members and stakeholders were given marvelous examples of how to market their products and services.

ELEMENT. Companies had to design and present a 90-second elevator speech to dazzle the crowd. The Public’s Choice Award winner had to speak to stakeholders across the country. Whereas the Judge’s Choice Award was evaluated by judges on various areas from spokespersons to messaging. All tabulated by an independent party (TargetGov). Awards were then made by the sponsor AstraZeneca.
