Local Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Wins Big with the Air Force

R3 Strategic Support Group, Inc. (R3) is a Service Disabled Veteran–Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) that provides innovative strategic solutions across a broad spectrum of government and commercial domains to rapidly identify Requirements, capture Resources, and maximize Readiness to accelerate their client’s success; henceforth, the name – R3.
For the past 7 years, R3 has been supporting DoD agencies, and other large public and private sector organizations with industry-leading professional services. The vast array of services offered by R3 include engineering, staff augmentation support, and consulting services in multiple technical & management areas, as well as providing Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technical support. EOD involves defusing dangerous explosive devices.  This process is critically important to the warfighter, and has historically been an expensive endeavor for DoD agencies.
R3 was recently awarded a total of 19 task orders, totaling $2,156,744.41, via a SDVOSB set-aside Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide the Air Force with EOD training, logistics support, and technical expertise globally. Jerry Shelton, the Program Manager for R3’s Air Force EOD Support Services stated, “R3’s diligence in logistics support enabled the redistribution of specialized EOD equipment to fill shortages at other locations in lieu of making new purchases, resulting in a total savings in excess of $7M.”
San Diego Contracting Opportunities Center (SDCOC) staff first began working with R3 staff in September of 2014. In June 2016, SDCOC staff provided R3 staff with assistance critical to retaining its SDVOSB certification. Similarly, in June 2016, R3 received additional technical assistance with updated regulatory information related to the recently updated teaming requirements, and the new limitations on subcontracting rule.
SDCOC staff continues to support R3 with relevant government contracting related information to include, contracting opportunity notifications, notifications for training and educational opportunities for government contracting professionals, as well as access to business development services. With a mission to assist small businesses win and successfully perform on government contracts, SDCOC looks forward to our continued support of R3’s government contracting technical assistance needs.
