FEDERAL & SECURED FACILITIES SERVICES

SDVOSB-Owned. Cleared
Personnel. We Can Operate
Where Most Acquirers Can't.

Federal facility services is its own world — different contract vehicles, different compliance requirements, different deal economics. Most acquirers can't operate inside it. We can. Our pending SBA SDVOSB designation and cleared personnel infrastructure mean we can acquire, integrate, and grow federal contracting businesses without the credential gap that disqualifies most buyers.

Why Trades Mosaic for  Federal Services

SDVOSB-Owned Acquirer
‍
‍

Trades Mosaic is Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned with pending SBA certification. For owners of federal contracting businesses, this means continuity of set-aside eligibility through acquisition — a credential most acquirers don't carry and can't acquire on their own.

Cleared Personnel
Infrastructure
‍

We operate in secured facility environments and bring cleared personnel to every federal acquisition we consider. That's not a credential we add later — it's part of how the platform was built. Federal contractors get a partner who can operate inside their world from day one

Operators Who Understand
Government Customers
‍

Federal customers are different from commercial customers — different procurement, different relationship rhythms, different performance evaluation. Our board includes operators with over 120 years of combined hands-on federal contracting experience. The people structuring your deal understand the operational reality of serving government clients.

Federal Contract Vehicles
and Compliance
‍

GSA schedules, DoD prime and sub contracts, DCAA compliance, ITAR considerations -- we understand it all. Acquired federal contractors integrate without starting from scratch.

What We Don't Acquire

Being clear about what we don't do saves everyone time. We don't typically acquire:

Businesses without active federal contracts or clear pathway to federal work
Sub-$2M businesses without clear scale and contract diversification potential
Pure consulting firms without operational service delivery
Businesses with significant compliance, performance, or debarment issues
