Boosts From Washington

Under federal rules, FedBizIT also benefits in contract selection by its designations as a veteran-owned, woman-owned and minority-owned business. The CEO, Nina Tiaga, is a Mexican-born veteran of the U.S. Air Force. Her husband, Don (pictured), the president, also served in the Air Force.

FedBizIT's headquarters in Leesburg – about 50 miles northwest of Washington, D.C. - is also located within what is called a HUBZone, or "historically underutilized business zones," a federal designation created in 1998 that helps small businesses within these areas gain preferential access to federal contracts.

ITBestOfBreed recently talked with Don Tiaga about the company's success and what may lie ahead for FedBizIT.
