Advanced Decision Vectors (ADV), LLC has been recognized by the Small and Emerging Contractors Advisory Forum (SECAF) and the Department of Defense (DOD) Mentor Protégé Program for excellent performance in the federal and Defense sectors. The awards spotlight ADV’s competencies in Resource Management, Intelligence Operations and Enterprise Support and showcases ADV as a successful protégé of larger companies and mentor to smaller organizations.
Representing 40 independent business leaders, SECAF named ADV 2020 Mentor Protégé of the Year. The DOD Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP) bestowed upon ADV the fiscal year 2019 Nunn-Perry Award for innovative solutions in support of the Defense Intelligence Agency’s warfighter support mission.
“The Department of Defense and the American economy succeed because of the innovations borne from small companies like those in the DOD Mentor Protégé Program,” said Shannon Jackson, Deputy Director of the Office of Small Business Programs within the Office of Industrial Policy.
SECAF officials said during the announcement of this year’s winners, “The Mentor-Protégé Program of the Year honors companies that have shown a compelling and profound commitment to excellence through its efforts as a prime contractor.”
In response to recognition from ADV’s customer base, David S. Harris, CEO said, “When I founded ADV 11 years ago, the single goal was to create a company that would be the most trusted source in providing mission critical solutions to the government. I think the separate awards show that ADV is doing just that.”
