Castellum, Inc.’s SBA Protégés Successfully Onboard to SeaPort-NxG Contract
VIENNA, Va., January 8, 2025 - Castellum, Inc. (NYSE-American: CTM) (“Castellum”), a cybersecurity, electronic warfare, and software engineering services company focused on the federal government, announces that it has successfully helped onboard its two Small Business Administration (“SBA”) approved mentor-protégé companies (“Mentor-Protégé”), Epic Systems, Inc. (“Epic”) and Krilla Kaleiwahea, LLC (“K2”), to its Seaport Next Generation contract (“SeaPort-NxG”) via rolling admissions II. Castellum subsidiary Specialty Systems, Inc. has a strategic alliance in the form of an SBA approved Mentor-Protégé arrangement with Epic. Castellum subsidiary Global Technology and Management Resources, Inc. has a strategic alliance with K2, which is pending approval by the SBA. Information concerning these strategic alliances can be found in our previous press releases:
•Castellum, Inc. Announces New Strategic Alliance
•Castellum, Inc. Announces Strategic Alliance with K2
The Castellum business development team assisted both companies to successfully onboard to SeaPort-NxG. SeaPort-NxG is the Navy Virtual SYSCOM Commanders', including NAVAIR, NAVFAC, NAVSEA, NAVSUP, NAVWAR, and ONR, as well as Military Sealift Command and the United States Marine Corps integrated approach to contracting for professional support services. SeaPort-NxG’s electronic procurement of technical, engineering, and other professional services represent a key strategy to meeting the United States Department of Navy contracting needs. SeaPort-NxG preapproves a large and diverse community of contractors through a process called rolling admissions.
“Our Castellum team has again demonstrated our commitment to help advance and grow our Mentor Protégé companies. I am very proud of the hard work our team put in to support our great partners Epic and K2 to achieve these strategic milestones. These wins open the door for us to team with our Mentor Protégé companies to compete for 8(a), women-owned small business, and Native Hawaiian Organization set-aside opportunities on SeaPort-NxG. Combined with our recent OASIS+ win, we are now in a stronger position for near term growth as we can aggressively pursue both unrestricted and SBA opportunities.” said Glen Ives, President and Chief Executive Officer of Castellum.
