Prime Vendors receive large contracts to provide a myriad of food products to such institutions as military bases, federal prisons and veterans administration hospitals. An important feature of the Prime Vendor contacts is the federal governments goal of fostering small business enterprises and especially, small disadvantaged businesses. Prime Vendors gain an advantage in the bidding process by pledging to purchase a percentage of the total contract from small disadvantaged businesses.
The federal government soon realized many economic advantages from the adoption of the Prime Vendor programs and contracts. As a result, the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act was passed in 1995. The Act provided even more opportunities for small businesses to participate in Prime Vendor contracts with the federal government.
With this development, Six Point's Inc. expanded its product lines to include many more ground beef and steak food items. We now can offer a full line of meat products and a commercially competitive prices.
