Multidesk LLC, an 8(a) certified firm providing office solutions in Puerto Rico since 2004 with a commitment to exceeding customer expectations, has achieved a significant milestone: securing a $53,686.00 contract with the Puerto Rico Army National Guard USPFO office. This success story highlights the role of the Federal Contracting Center (FeCC), an APEX Accelerator, in facilitating connections and creating opportunities for small businesses in the federal marketplace.

The USPFO office faced a procurement challenge: furnishing its Readiness Center with items typically mandated for purchase from Federal Prison Industries (UNICOR). Recognizing potential challenges due to specific requirements and geographical location, the Contracting Officer sought alternative solutions. FeCC stepped in, organizing a roundtable meeting focused on increasing DoD contracting opportunities in Puerto Rico. As a direct result, the USPFO Contracting Officer engaged with Multidesk LLC. A key piece in securing this contract was the diligent and proactive actions of Multidesk's owner, Cesar Miranda, who meticulously worked to meet USPFO's specific requirements. Through these focused discussions and Miranda's proactive approach, it became evident that awarding the contract to Multidesk LLC was the most advantageous solution for the government.

After diligently securing a necessary waiver from UNICOR, the contract was awarded. This achievement not only validates Multidesk LLC's long-standing dedication to providing superior office solutions but also underscores the FeCC's vital role in fostering collaboration and driving small business success within the federal contracting landscape.
