Government contracting with a certified SDVOSB and MBE partner.

Certification and scope belong in the same discussion

A prime team needs to identify both the work to be performed and the certification program that applies to the opportunity. Federal, New York State, New York City, and Port Authority programs use different eligibility and participation rules. SDVOSB is the federal small-business designation. SDVOB is the service-disabled veteran-owned business designation used in state and other programs. MBE identifies minority business enterprise participation; women-owned business enterprise (WBE) requirements are a separate consideration.

TGA contributes design, engineering, inspection, documentation, construction, and support services to prime teams. Review the solicitation, relevant certification, and participation requirements with TGA.

TGA holds certifications through the SBA, New York State, New York City, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Confirm the relevant directory entry and participation rules for the proposed contract.

Contracting identifiers and industry classifications

TGA's Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) is U1JCPAKPMKF5. Its Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code is 4PH37. Use SAM.gov to review federal entity records.

TGA lists thirteen North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, including Architectural Services, Engineering Services, Interior Design Services, Computer Systems Design Services, and Facilities Support Services.

For a prime A/E team, the design scope can include architectural support, interior design, space planning, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) coordination. Documentation through construction documents, life-safety support, and fire-protection design coordination are part of the service offering. The scope should identify the specific tasks and their relationship to the prime's work.

Defined support through design and construction

Construction support can include submittal and request-for-information (RFI) handling, field observation, progress reporting, and closeout documentation. Special inspections and code compliance are related services with their own inspection and documentation responsibilities. Survey coordination, field measurement, and as-built records connect existing or constructed conditions with the records needed by the design or construction team.

Computer-aided design (CAD), Building Information Modeling (BIM), Revit modeling, and structural shop drawings provide additional technical-production scopes. Information technology and facilities support address defined institutional needs. A teaming discussion can define the disciplines and responsibilities TGA will support.

TGA's federal work includes the NAWCAD Lakehurst Commissary office conversion, the U.S. Army Reserve Center fire sprinkler extension, and United States Merchant Marine Academy field grooming and G-Max testing. Municipal and institutional assignments include Clarkstown pump-station documentation, Yonkers flood mitigation survey support, and CUNY projects.
