BETHESDA, Md.—November 19, 2024—IQ Sig, LLC, a global provider of advanced signal intelligence, management, analysis, and cybersecurity solutions to U.S. military and intelligence customers, announced it has completed the Veteran Institute Procurement (VIP) GROW Program. In early 2024, IQ Sig graduated from the VIP START Program. These comprehensive training and certification programs help Veteran-owned businesses strengthen their ability to win government contracts and do business with military and civilian agencies.
“IQ Sig is dedicated to advancing communications and national defense efforts through cutting-edge technology and subject matter expertise,” said IQ Sig CEO Ray Mack. “The actionable strategies and insightful best practices IQ Sig gained through the VIP START Program are immediately applicable and will help IQ Sig excel across the federal intelligence, cybersecurity, and engineering markets.”
VIP GROW is fully funded by the Montgomery County Chamber Community Foundation, partnerships with SBA, Lockheed Martin, the State of Maryland, and VIP sponsors, and is offered at no cost to participants. The first of its kind in the nation, VIP GROW is facilitated by subject matter experts from industry and government with the goal of increasing the participants’ ability to win and maintain government contracts.
IQ Sig was one of 54 Veteran-owned businesses from 13 states, plus DC and Puerto Rico, to graduate from the VIP GROW Program. Mr. Mack and the other C-level leaders received hands-on market-based instruction covering more than 20 topics, including cyber security, insurance, indirect rates, and simplified acquisitions.
“VIP is a true asset for the Veteran-Owned Small Business community,” said Mr. Mack. “The VIP START and GROW Programs have provided me with the tools, resources, and connections necessary to grow IQ Sig’s business and navigate the complex world of government contracting,” said Mr. Mack.
