SUCCESS STORY: The Lamberts

Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Lambert are small-business owners who were interested in bidding on a USACE (United State Army Corps of Engineers) contract for the maintenance of campgrounds. When they were advised of needing a System for Award Management (SAM) registration to perform the work, they were unsure where to begin. After paying someone to assist with their SAM, they began working with Arkansas APEX Accelerator Procurement Counselor Kenneth Griffin.  Griffin successfully helped them receive a three-year park attendant contract with Aunts Creek on Table Rock Lake, funded by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)—an achievement that marked a turning point for their business.
