Common Questions

Q: Can I work on multiple DIR contracts as both prime and subcontractor?

A: Yes, absolutely! DIR explicitly allows companies to hold their own prime contracts AND serve as subcontractors to other primes. Your existing DIR contracts can continue alongside this partnership.

Q: How does VetHUB certification benefit this partnership?

A: Tekgration's VetHUB certification gives us 27% VetHUB participation, exceeding DIR's 26% goal. Combined with our 100% DBE participation (VeAssis + Mavros), we have exceptional small business engagement that will score very well in evaluations.

Q: What if there's overlap between my existing DIR contracts and this one?

A: No conflict. Agencies can choose which DIR contract to use for their needs. You can offer services under your own contracts AND as part of our team. This actually expands your market reach.

Q: Are the revenue projections realistic?

A: DIR End-User IT Outsourcing did $27M in FY2025. If VeAssis captures 5% ($1.35M annually), Tekgration's 15-20% share would be $202-270K per year. Our projections assume conservative 3-5% market capture.

Q: What about insurance requirements?

A: As prime contractor, VeAssis carries the master insurance and bonding. Tekgration should maintain standard business insurance (general liability, professional liability), but doesn't need the higher government contract requirements that VeAssis carries.

Q: How quickly will work start after contract award?

A: Typically 30-60 days after award. Agencies may already have projects queued up, especially those who know Tekgration from your existing DIR work. Year 1 is ramp-up, Years 2-5 are steady state.

Q: Can I suggest agencies I already work with to use this contract?

A: Yes! If you have existing relationships with agencies through your DIR contracts, you can let them know about additional services available through VeAssis's End-User IT Outsourcing contract. This benefits both parties.
