In today's competitive contracting landscape, large businesses often seek strategic partnerships to navigate complex markets. As a certified HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and NC HUBZone company, Carroll International exemplifies how small firms can be pivotal allies. Based in Tabor City, NC, Carroll offers consulting, marketing, product supply, and project management in areas like communications, tactical networking, and government sales. Here's how we help large enterprises close deals across US Federal, SLED (State, Local, Education), and international arenas.
Boosting Federal Wins Through Set-Asides and Teaming
The federal government aims to award at least 3% of prime and subcontracting dollars to HUBZone-certified businesses annually. Large primes can leverage Carroll's certifications for set-aside contracts, gaining a 10% price evaluation preference. By teaming with us as a subcontractor, large firms meet small business participation goals while accessing our expertise in SATCOM equipment, cybersecurity, and installation services. For instance, our exclusive partnership with New-Tech Construction enables seamless telecom and disaster recovery projects, helping primes fulfill requirements without building internal capabilities. This model has secured billions in federal contracts for small businesses, reducing bureaucracy and enhancing win rates.
Enhancing SLED Success with Local Preferences
In state, local, and education markets, Carroll's NC HUBZone certification provides preferential access to economically distressed area contracts, similar to federal HUBZone goals. Large businesses partnering with us can tap into SLED set-asides, where we handle supply chain roles in fiber optics, rugged electronics, and electrical contracting (NAICS codes like 237130 and 238210). This not only meets diversity mandates but also streamlines bidding—our veteran-led team manages installations and assessments, allowing primes to focus on core competencies while closing deals faster.
Expanding International Reach Via Supply Chain Expertise
For global opportunities, Carroll assists large firms in diversifying pipelines through international business development. Our SDVOSB status aligns with export programs, enabling supply of tactical equipment and communications solutions to allies. By integrating into large companies' supply chains, we mitigate risks and support entry into foreign markets, drawing on our experience in radio manufacturing and satellite telecom (NAICS 334220 and 517410). This fosters resilient partnerships, as seen in broader small business trends where HUBZone firms help primes secure international subcontracts.
