Native 8(a) Business Partner Success Stories

Autumn Sellers
President and owner, Alcyon Inc.

“Last year I decided to relocate my 8(a) woman-owned consulting business from Franklin, Tenn. to Huntsville, Ala. Alcyon would not have been able to gain a foothold in the Huntsville community without Alutiiq Corp.’s help. Alutiiq assisted us with gaining facility clearance, providing subcontracting opportunities, invoicing, managing purchase orders and task orders, and setting up benefits packages to effectively retain employees. Alutiiq has made Alcyon’s relocation a positive business decision.”

“Chugach Support Services was instrumental helping Portco facilitate of our contract with the Portsmouth Naval Medical Center. Chugach assisted us with our contract modifications, which increased our revenues and presented us with opportunities to further our mission in providing employment opportunities for people with disabilities. We look forward to working with Chugach in the future.”

We are so very proud to be working with a prime contractor who has a proven reputation for being fair, ethical, honest, and committed to doing the right thing.”

Jack Robertson
President, CCG, LLC

“I’d like to express my deepest gratitude to Chugach Corp. for helping CCG become a viable federal government contractor. Chugach operates a base operations support contract at the Portsmouth Naval Hospital and gave our company the opportunity to provide the security personnel in support of that contract. The contract helped leverage CCG into work with other federal agencies, which has contributed to our significant growth. Without the assistance of Chugach, we would not be in the position we are today.”
