"Client of the Year" Award Goes to Crystal Enterprises
Washington, D.C. is full of terrific museums and monuments that fall under the purview of the Federal Government. As such, services to these facilities present procurement opportunities for the MBDA clients. One example, Crystal Enterprises, a food service and facilities maintenance firm, can boast about its $6.2 million contract to provide janitorial services for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. The District of Columbia MBDA Business Center provided support by reviewing the technical and pricing proposal and helped to develop a strategy for successfully winning the contract.
Assistance from the MBDA directly contributed to the company's stellar track record, which recently earned it the "Client of the Year" award by the District of Columbia MBDA Business Center. With continued support from the MBDA, and over $40 million in potential contracts in the pipeline, Crystal Enterprises is positioned to achieve its increasingly high revenue goals for FY 2013.
