 LAURINO CONSULTING GROUP This company is designed to maximize the opportunities available for federal and state contracts and business opportunities. Federal funds will be an important stimulus to recovering economies in the coming years. LCG is designed to provide LCG s other business units, strategic partners and licensors with advantages to capture portions of these funds by utilizing strategic business alliances with selected tribes.Marketing advantages in the federal marketplace result from the unique contract bidding status of tribal “Super Certified” (8a, Hub Zone, Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), and Disadvantaged Business Entity (DBE)) accreditation derived from the Small Business Administration and the US Department of Transportation. Benefits that may accrue to the LCG/Tribal joint bidding process are as follows.- Ability to obtain sole–source, negotiated, non–competitive contracts with the Federal government.
- Federal contracts that, once obtained, cannot be protested.
- Access to mandatory “set–aside” contracts from the Federal government.
- Access to mandatory subcontracts for major programs awarded to the largest prime contractors.
- Price and proposal evaluation advantages for normal competitive contract awards.
- Government funded technology and administrative transfers to LSI.
- Access to mandatory contracts associated with state contracts that are supported with Federal funds.
- Ability of Tribal enterprises to continue “Super Certified” status indefinitely (compared to mandatory graduation from 8(a) certification faced by other enterprises).
LCG's proven strategy focuses on the understanding and benefits we bring to a tribe: - Detailed understanding and respect for tribal sovereignty, self determination, and cultural heritage.
- Research, development and engineering capabilities to compliment tribal resources.
- Ability to provide manufacturing work and product life–cycle support employment opportunities to tribal enterprises, which in turn produce tribal jobs.
- Product and market opportunities to diversify from the casino revenue base that has been the mainstay of many tribal economies. We are finding a trend where tribes recognize the need to use casino revenues to create job opportunities that draw skilled tribal members back to reservations after obtaining off–reservation training. LCG business units support that need.
- LCG brings commercial market opportunities, especially in manufacturing, to supplement the federal and state opportunities established by tribal enterprises.
