Small Business
Ownership and size status are evaluated against the applicable NAICS size standard and procurement requirements.
Business status
Veteran-Owned
100% veteran owned, including majority ownership by a service-disabled veteran woman.
SDVOSB
SBA VetCert application pending. Federal set-aside and sole-source eligibility requires SBA certification and solicitation-specific conditions.
WOSB
SBA certification application pending. Award eligibility remains subject to program, NAICS, and acquisition requirements.
Accuracy matters: “Application pending” is not represented as active SBA certification. Current documentation and verification information are available directly to qualified contracting officials and partners.
Federal, SBA, and South Carolina readiness criteria
Government readiness is maintained through current registrations, truthful representations, documented controls, and the requirements of each solicitation. Official acquisition records and contract language control when they differ from this website.
Federal acquisition
Maintain an active SAM.gov registration and UEI; keep entity, banking, points-of-contact, NAICS, size, and representations and certifications current; obtain and maintain a CAGE code when applicable; and comply with solicitation-specific FAR, DFARS, security, insurance, and reporting requirements.
SBA programs
Represent WOSB, SDVOSB, or other set-aside status only after official approval and while eligibility remains current. Review the SAM.gov and SBA Small Business Search profiles at least annually and whenever ownership, control, size, or contact information changes.
South Carolina procurement
Maintain vendor registration and accurate commodity or service categories in the state procurement system; use an authorized signer; complete required certifications and disclosures; and follow ethics, organizational-conflict-of-interest, tax, licensing, insurance, and preference rules for each solicitation.
Accessible, secure delivery
Plan for applicable Section 508 accessibility, privacy, records, data-handling, and cybersecurity requirements at the start of an engagement. Flow required clauses and safeguards to employees, consultants, suppliers, and subcontractors.
Buyer due-diligence package: MSG can provide its capability statement and, as applicable to an opportunity, current registration evidence, certification status, insurance documentation, security and quality plans, completed representations, and references through an authorized business-development contact.
Authoritative resources: SAM.gov entity registration, SBA certifications, South Carolina procurement, and the U.S. Access Board ICT standards.
NAICS alignment
MSG maintains a focused portfolio of 22 codes spanning IT, cybersecurity, consulting, training, facilities support, and logistics. Final size status and eligibility are determined per procurement.

CMMC READINESS
Cybersecurity expectations for Defense Industrial Base work
Current implementation note: The Department suspended CMMC Phase II requirements on July 13, 2026. Phase I remains in effect, including Level 1 and applicable Level 2 self-assessments. Solicitation and contract language controls each opportunity.
MSG helps teams translate current contract requirements into a practical readiness path. During the Phase I pause, organizations should continue safeguarding FCI and CUI, maintaining evidence, completing the applicable self-assessment, and monitoring official guidance before proposal submission.
Foundational safeguarding
Annual self-assessment of the 15 safeguards in FAR 52.204-21, submission of results in SPRS, and affirmation after each assessment. Plans of Action and Milestones are not permitted.
Protection of CUI
Self-assessment every three years against the 110 requirements in NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2, results submitted in SPRS, and annual affirmation. Limited POA&Ms must meet the governing conditions and be closed within 180 days.
Requirements still flow down
The Phase II pause does not remove contractual safeguarding duties. Identify FCI and CUI, confirm the covered environment, apply the controlling FAR and DFARS clauses, and flow applicable requirements to subcontractors.
A disciplined readiness path: identify FCI and CUI boundaries; confirm the controlling solicitation and clauses; document the system security plan; close control gaps; maintain evidence; complete the applicable self-assessment; submit scores and affirmations in SPRS; and flow relevant requirements to subcontractors. MSG does not claim a CMMC status or certification unless independently established and verifiable.
Requirements can change and contract language controls. Confirm current requirements through the official DoD CMMC program, DoD CIO level guidance, and the applicable FAR/DFARS clauses.
Teaming approach
MSG’s near-term strategy is to provide specialized cybersecurity, AI, data, program, and logistics capability under established prime contractors. Engagements can be structured as subcontracting, formal teaming, or direct work when all required registrations and qualifications apply.
Reference thresholds
Current federal reference thresholds include a $15,000 micro-purchase threshold and $350,000 simplified acquisition threshold. Current SDVOSB sole-source limits are $8.5 million for manufacturing NAICS requirements and $5 million for other requirements. These figures are not guarantees of award; contracting-officer determinations and all FAR conditions apply.
