The businesses will make Dell systems available through their GSA schedules, with the aim of helping the government to secure its required technology and comply with its small business set-aside requirements.

As a trusted partner to the federal government, we recognize that government customers can benefit from leveraging the unique expertise of small business, said Troy West, vice president of Dell’s federal business. Our partnership with these best-in-class small business contractors will further enable the government to procure the technology it needs, while supporting small businesses and getting a truly valuable solution to their IT challenges.
