The New York State (NYS) Office of General Services commissioner recently announced that Stratus Consulting Group Inc., a Fayetteville–based consulting business focusing on professional staffing, was recently certified as a service-disabled veteran-owned business (SDVOB).
The certification was granted by the Office of General Services’ (OGS) Division of Service-Disabled Veterans’ Business Development (DSDVBD).
Stratus Consulting Group is led by Tim Coleman, president and CEO. He is a former U.S. Marine Corps infantry officer that served in the First Marine Division, with deployments to Central America, Southwest Asia, and Southeast Asia, according to the Stratus website. He worked for 13 years in the commercial sector as a plant manager, general manager, and a multi-location director both in the U.S. and Canada.
Stratus was one of six businesses that OGS announced had recently obtained the SDVOB certification. The other upstate New York business gaining the designation was Spa City Brew Bus LLC, a provider of charter and tour services that is based in Ballston Spa in Saratoga County,
The other four certified businesses are located downstate — one in the Hudson Valley, one in New York City, and two on Long Island.
The DSDVBD was created by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in May 2014 with enactment of the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Act. The law promotes and encourages participation of SDVOBs in NYS public procurements of public works, commodities, services, and technology to foster and advance economic development in the state, according to the OGS. As of Nov. 21, 400 businesses have been certified as SDVOBs in New York.
