Dual-Certification as Both Small and Women-Owned
January 6, 2010 (McLean, VA)—FedMatch
Strategies, a Virginia marketing and communications strategy firm
serving Government contractors, Government agencies, and advertising
and consulting firms, was awarded dual- certification status as a SWaM
(Small, Women, and Minority-Owned) Small and Woman-Owned business by
the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Department of Minority Business
Enterprise. The certifications enable the company to compete for
procurement opportunities designated in whole or in part for either
Small or Woman-held concerns in Virginia.
“Certification as a Woman-Owned business unlocks a wide variety of new
opportunities for the company,” states Traci Robinson-Williams,
President. “We will use the dual-certifications to directly pursue
opportunities within Virginia and to strengthen existing partnerships
with complementary firms to support our internal growth strategy.”
Procurement agents of state agencies as well as other public entities

acquisition products and services provided by certified vendors. The
SWaM designation is valid for three years after initial certification.
