TECH LOCK, Inc. Renews Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Status

TECH LOCK, Inc. is pleased to announce that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Center for Veterans Enterprise (CVE), has once again verified TECH LOCK, Inc. as a service-disabled Veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) and added TECH LOCK to the Veteran business database at www.vip.vetbiz.gov.

A SDVOSB is a small business that is at least 51% owned by one or more service-disabled veterans. Service-disabled veteran means a veteran with a disability that is service-connected; the disability was incurred in the line of duty while serving in the U.S. active military. TECH LOCK’s founder, President & CEO Todd Langusch, is a Desert Shield Disabled Veteran awarded the Southwest Asia Service Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Good Conduct Medal, and during his service earned the Navy “E” Ribbon, Meritorious Unit Commendation, Sea Service Ribbon, Overseas Service, and various other awards and commendations.

TECH LOCK’s Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) verification is valid for two years from October 8, 2013. TECH LOCK was previously certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Center for Veterans Enterprise (CVE) on October 26, 2009. TECH LOCK is eligible to participate in Veterans First Contracting Program opportunities with VA.

TECH LOCK not only provides great service but also offers a small business partner that can help fill critical small business utilization requirements. Many Collection organizations may have requirements to work with Veteran-owned, minority owned, or a small disadvantaged business. In addition, TECH LOCK can assist Federal Agencies with meeting Executive Order 13360 which directs that at least 3 percent of all federal agencies’ contracting dollars go to businesses owned by service-disabled veterans. On October 20, 2004, the President signed Executive Order 13360 to increase federal contracting and subcontracting opportunities for service-disabled veteran businesses.
