Start-ups run by disabled vets are winning millions in federal IT contracts.
Jerry Demony, a retired Army colonel, suffered back and other injuries during his tour of duty that left him more than 50% disabled. Today, Demony is a partner in i3 Federal, a Fairfax Station, Va., reseller that's winning millions of dollars in federal IT contracts each year because of this disability.
Demony and cofounder Phillip Oakley, a 22-year Army veteran who retired as a Major, formed i3 Federal in 2005 to take advantage of a government set-aside program aimed at Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned businesses, dubbed SDVOs in federal contracting parlance. Oakley is awaiting his own disability rating due to multiple injuries including skin cancer that he experienced during his military career. |
