How we contract
At our current scale the realistic and honest path is subcontractor and sub-vendor positioning rather than prime contracting. We are a strong teaming partner for primes who need Memphis-area light industrial labor and a certified minority business enterprise on the team.
What we deliver on contract
- Warehouse, distribution, and material handling labor
- Light manufacturing and production associates
- Forklift and powered industrial truck operators
- General labor, site support, and cleanup crews
- Janitorial, groundskeeping, and facility support staffing
- Office, clerical, data entry, and administrative support
- Shift coverage across first, second, third, and weekend schedules
- Surge and mobilization support for new facility ramp-ups
How we position
We are candid about scale. At our size, subcontractor and sub-vendor positioning is the realistic route, not prime contracting. That is not a limitation we hide; it is how we make sure a buyer gets performance instead of a promise.
We are a strong teaming partner for a prime that needs Memphis-area light industrial labor, local presence, and a certified minority business enterprise on the team to meet a small business subcontracting plan or a supplier diversity commitment.
Government registrations for a Memphis staffing supplier
Public buyers can verify us in the systems they already use. Status is kept current, and we state it plainly rather than implying more than is true.

We will not overstate a registration. If a status above says "in progress," it is in progress, and we will tell you where it actually stands if you ask. A vendor who inflates a registration on a website will inflate a fill rate on a contract.
Workforce system partnerships
Public workforce programs are how a light industrial agency reaches candidates that traditional recruiting misses, and how public buyers get community benefit out of a staffing contract rather than just a headcount.
We work with the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development and the American Job Center network serving Greater Memphis for candidate referral, hiring events, and work-based learning, and we are exploring participation in a Registered Apprenticeship program through the Tennessee Office of Apprenticeship.
A note on precision, because it matters to public buyers: WIOA programs are federally funded but administered by the State of Tennessee and governed by the local workforce development board. We describe those relationships as state and local, because that is what they are. We do not describe ourselves as partnering with the U.S. Department of Labor, and no federal agency endorses us.
What a public buyer gets
- A certified minority business enterprise toward diverse spend goals
- A veteran-led small business on the team
- Local hiring from the Memphis and Shelby County labor pool
- Employer of record status, so payroll, taxes, unemployment, and workers compensation sit with us
- General safety orientation before every placement, coordinated with your site-specific training
- A named point of contact who answers the phone
