Focus Areas

Where Our Capabilities Meet the Mission

Four federal-mission areas where Vashon Industries brings a defensible combination of veteran identity, bilingual capability, MBA credentials, and healthcare fluency.

Bilingual Patient Outreach

Spanish-language patient communication programs for federal healthcare — comprehension-driven, culturally relevant, and aligned to PACT Act and MISSION Act priorities.

Hispanic Veteran Engagement

Enrollment support, outreach event design, and bilingual benefits communication for the growing Hispanic-veteran population served by VA and community partners.

Healthcare Admin Operations

Process improvement, records preparation, and workforce planning consulting for VHA, DHA, and federal administrative teams — the unglamorous work that keeps facilities running.

Small-Business Subcontracting

Reliable SDVOSB and Hispanic-owned SDB participation on prime federal proposals — focused scope, clean compliance, and rapid teaming agreement turnaround.

How We Deliver

A Predictable, Documented, Four-Phase Approach

Every engagement follows the same clear phases so contracting officers, prime BD teams, and program leads always know where a deliverable stands.

Scope

Discovery call, requirements review, and written scope agreement within 5 business days of first contact. Mutual NDA executed if requested.

Structure

Task-level plan with milestones, deliverables, and acceptance criteria. Team roster with credentials and language coverage documented up front.

Deliver

Bilingual deliverables produced on-time to specification. Transparency through weekly written status updates and issue logs.

Report

Formal close-out documentation, past-performance write-up on request, and reference availability for future proposals.

Set-Aside Math

One Relationship. Multiple Subcontracting Goals.

Every dollar you subcontract to Vashon Industries counts toward more than one small-business category — helping your firm hit FAR 52.219-9 targets without stacking multiple vendor relationships.

Small-Business Goal Category Statutory Government-Wide Target Vashon Counts?
Small Business (overall) 23%
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) 5%
Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) 15%
Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) 3%
Total Categories Satisfied by One Award   4

Small-business subcontracting goals are set at the government-wide level under 15 U.S.C. § 644(g); individual agency and contract goals may differ. Consult your subcontracting plan for applicable percentages.

Teaming & Subcontracting
