Frequently Asked Questions

Corelon holds no GSA Schedule (MAS), no GWAC, no IDIQ and no BPA, and is actively pursuing GSA Schedule qualification to expand the vehicles available to buyers. A contracting officer can still award to Corelon today, directly: SDVOSB sole source under FAR 19.1406 or VAAR 819.7008, an SDVOSB or small business set-aside, a simplified acquisition, a purchase order, or a government purchase card buy. If an agency establishes a BPA with Corelon, we can accept calls against it. Contact us to discuss the fastest compliant route for your requirement.

Corelon does not hold an IDIQ contract or any other multiple-award vehicle. For a multi-year award made directly to Corelon, we can structure pricing with fixed annual escalations, escalation tied to a published index (CPI, PPI), or a custom escalation mechanism negotiated into the contract. If the requirement will be ordered under an existing IDIQ, Corelon would need to be added to that vehicle or to team with a holder. Please include escalation expectations in your RFQ.

Sole source authority allows contracting officers to award contracts to a single vendor without competitive bidding under specific circumstances. As an SBA-Certified SDVOSB, Corelon qualifies for sole source awards up to $8.5M under FAR 19.1406 when the acquisition is assigned a manufacturing NAICS code, and up to $5M for all other requirements. For VA contracts, VAAR 819.7008 sets a single flat $5M ceiling with no separate manufacturing tier. This streamlines procurement and can reduce award timelines.

Yes. Once under contract, Corelon is fully prepared to support modifications, amendments, and change orders — adjusting scope, extending performance periods, incorporating new requirements, or implementing price adjustments. We built our contract management processes around working collaboratively with contracting officers and project stakeholders to execute modifications smoothly and maintain mission continuity.

We respond to all procurement inquiries within one business day. For time-sensitive requirements or proposals with aggressive deadlines, we recommend including your deadline in your initial contact so we can prioritize accordingly. Our streamlined quoting process allows us to turn around proposals quickly while maintaining thorough analysis of your requirements.

Visit our Contact page and select 'Capability Statement Request' from the inquiry type dropdown, or email anton.grant@corelonfederal.com. We provide a concise, formatted capability statement suitable for contracting officer review—typically includes our certifications, NAICS/PSC codes, services, and experience summary. We can also tailor a capability statement to your specific agency or mission area on request.

To expedite quoting, please provide: (1) detailed product or service description, (2) quantities and delivery timeline, (3) technical specifications (if applicable), (4) delivery location(s), (5) contracting vehicle or funding type, (6) any special compliance requirements (TAA, CMMC, etc.), and (7) decision deadline. The more detail you can provide, the faster and more accurate our quote will be.

Corelon accommodates standard federal payment terms including Net 30 and Net 60. We also accept government purchase cards (GPC/GPCN), electronic funds transfer (EFT), and check payments. For large or multi-year orders, we can discuss customized payment arrangements. All payment terms are negotiated within the contract or purchase order.

Delivery timelines depend on the product category, the service scope, and distributor stock at the time of the order. For off-the-shelf IT hardware and software sourced through our authorized distributor networks, we quote a target of 5-10 business days from order. Corelon is a new SDVOSB entrant with no delivery history yet, so that figure is the lead time we commit to in the quote — not an average of past orders. For custom programming or specialized services, we provide project-based timelines. For time-critical requirements, include your deadline in the RFQ and we will identify expedited shipping or prioritized delivery options.

Corelon holds no Trade Agreements Act certification, and there is none to hold: the TAA reaches a contract through clauses a contracting officer incorporates into a particular solicitation, not through a status an authority certifies. Corelon is pre-revenue with no awarded contracts, so no trade-agreement clause is in force today and no order has been screened under one. Whether the TAA applies is decided by the acquisition. FAR 25.401(a)(1) places acquisitions set aside for small businesses outside FAR Subpart 25.4 entirely — most of what an SDVOSB competes for. Where the subpart does reach, FAR 25.1101(c) has the contracting officer insert FAR 52.225-5 (Trade Agreements) at or above the WTO GPA threshold in FAR 25.402(b) — $174,000 for supplies, revised by the U.S. Trade Representative about every two years, and lower under several Free Trade Agreements — with the FAR 52.225-6 Trade Agreements Certificate alongside it; below that threshold the clause is ordinarily FAR 52.225-3, Buy American — Free Trade Agreements — Israeli Trade Act, which applies a different test. Under 52.225-6 the offeror certifies which end products are U.S.-made or designated country end products and lists by line item those that are not. That certificate is Corelon's own representation for one solicitation, built from country-of-origin information the manufacturer or authorized distributor supplies. It is not a waiver: no vendor-requested TAA waiver exists, and the exception for insufficient offers at FAR 25.403(c) is the contracting officer's determination. What Corelon operates today is a screening step rather than a determination — the Contract Command Center records a country of origin line by line and flags any that is not a designated country before a quote leaves. Send the solicitation and Corelon will name the trade-agreement clause it actually carries and answer it line by line, separating what a distributor states from what Corelon would have to certify.

Corelon holds no CMMC certification, has completed no third-party cybersecurity assessment and has no SPRS score. Nothing here should be read as a statement that Corelon has been assessed against any cybersecurity framework. FAR 52.204-21 (Basic Safeguarding of Covered Contractor Information Systems) is a clause the contracting officer incorporates into a solicitation or award; where it is incorporated, its fifteen basic safeguarding requirements attach to the contractor information systems that process, store or transmit Federal contract information, and satisfying them becomes a condition of performance on that contract. CMMC works differently again: a level is established by assessment — self-assessment or a CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization — and recorded in SPRS, so it is a determination made about a contractor rather than something a contractor can assert. Corelon is pre-revenue with no awarded contracts, so no such clause is in force today. Identify the cybersecurity requirements in your solicitation and Corelon will answer them requirement by requirement, in writing, separating what already exists from what would have to be established before performance.

Corelon holds no Facility Clearance (FCL), has no cleared personnel and operates no accredited facilities. Classified work under the National Industrial Security Program requires an FCL, and a company cannot obtain one on its own: it must be sponsored by a government contracting activity or by a cleared prime contractor in connection with a specific requirement, after which personnel clearances are processed through DCSA. If your requirement is a fit, Corelon can be sponsored for an FCL, or can perform at government-provided facilities where the requirement allows. For unclassified but security-sensitive work the safeguarding requirements are the ones the contracting officer incorporates, FAR 52.204-21 among them; what Corelon has and has not been assessed against is set out in the cybersecurity and compliance posture answer. Raise security requirements early in the procurement so the right path can be established.

We are evaluating participation in federal e-commerce platforms to improve accessibility and streamline ordering for government agencies. Corelon is not on any of them today and holds no BPA. Orders reach Corelon directly — by purchase order, government purchase card, simplified acquisition, set-aside award, or SDVOSB sole source. Corelon's SAM.gov registration is active and current, which is what makes those awards possible; SAM.gov is the federal entity registration system, not an ordering channel. Contact us to discuss platform-specific opportunities or to request integration into your preferred procurement channel.

Yes. Corelon is available to team with prime contractors and other businesses on federal opportunities requiring SDVOSB, VOSB, SWaM, or MBE subcontracting participation. As an SBA-Certified SDVOSB, we can integrate into your team to help meet socioeconomic and small business subcontracting commitments across our capability areas. Contact us to discuss specific teaming opportunities.

Corelon's SAM.gov entity registration carries 26 NAICS codes. The ones buyers ask about most are 423430 (Computer & Peripheral Equipment Merchant Wholesalers) — our primary code — plus 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), 518210 (Computing Infrastructure & Data Processing), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 423450 (Medical, Dental & Hospital Equipment Wholesalers). Our three headline PSC codes are 7A21 (IT & Telecom — Business Application Software (Perpetual License)), DA10 (IT Application Development Support) and 6515 (Medical, Surgical & Dental Instruments). The full registration is public — look Corelon up on SAM.gov under UEI SE7UBVWMZWY6.

Corelon's SAM.gov UEI is SE7UBVWMZWY6 and our CAGE Code is 12HZ0. These identifiers are required in most federal procurement systems and contracting documents. The UEI replaced the legacy DUNS number as the federal government's primary entity identifier in April 2022. Our SAM.gov registration is active and current, maintained annually to ensure eligibility for federal contracts.

Corelon measures on-time delivery, quality acceptance, customer satisfaction, and cost performance, and will do so on every engagement from the first award forward. Once a contract is awarded, we report performance data to federal systems as required, including CPARS (Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System) for prime contractor evaluations. As a new SDVOSB entrant, Corelon has no federal past-performance record yet — no awarded contracts, no completed deliveries, no CPARS ratings. Our commitment is to build one that exceeds government expectations from the first award forward.
