EL SEGUNDO, CA, August 10, 2021 (Businesswire) – AllClear Aerospace & Defense (AllClear), a leading global military solutions provider, announced today that its subsidiary, 에어본 테크놀로지스 (ATI) and VertiPrime Government Services, LLC (VertiPrime), a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) as part of the Small Business Administration (SBA) Mentor Protégé Program (application pending approval), established a joint venture company to support the US Department of Defense.
The aim of the program is to enable the protégé to receive valuable guidance from the mentor in many areas, such as internal business management, federal procurement processes, business development, and general administrative assistance.
VertiPrime is an Oklahoma manufacturer founded and managed by service-disabled veterans James Morford and Michael Morford. VertiPrime focuses on the manufacturing of precision replacement parts for our nation’s military, including the US Air Force’s aging fleet of fighter jets and long-range bombers.
“The mentor protégé program offers us the unique opportunity to strengthen our support of small businesses, extend our capabilities, and become a valued partner with our armed services veteran community,” said AllClear President and CEO Greg Beason. “It is an honor to work with Michael and James Morford.”
“We are excited and fortunate to establish this formal relationship with Airborne Technologies and AllClear,” stated VertiPrime’s President, James Morford. “The breadth and depth of industry insight and experience they can provide us as mentors is more than we could have hoped for. With their guidance and mentorship, we believe we can become a trusted and recognized part of the defense industrial base for the Air Force’s sustainment efforts, especially for our home state of Oklahoma.”
