Who we work with

Built for a vetted bench, not an open marketplace

Certifications
Who we serve

Built for the people on both sides of a federal award

Government buyers

Federal buyers β€” VA and DoD first β€” looking for pre-qualified vendors, compliant procurement, and faster sourcing.

Vendors & manufacturers

US manufacturers, distributors, and service providers looking to enter the government market and grow deal flow, without carrying the compliance burden themselves.

Veteran-owned businesses

We prioritize SDVOSBs and veteran entrepreneurs entering federal sales β€” the same lane AAI was built in.
