November 4, 2009 – San Francisco, CA – SFS Chemical Safety, Inc. (dba: Chemical Safety, Chemical Safety Software) is a leading provider of Environmental and Technology Consulting Products and Services has just been awarded SBA 8(a) certification. The 8(a) program is from Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act. The Act, as amended by Congress, created the 8(a) program so the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) could help small companies owned and operated by socially and economically disadvantaged companies to develop their businesses.

“I am delighted to announce that our company has received this certification,” said Maggie O’Donnell, president of Chemical Safety. “We are eager to expand contract opportunities with the Federal Government as well prime government contractors in our sector. As a best-in-kind provider of environmental consulting and technology solutions, we have the tools and the experience to support projects of all types and sizes.”

While many 8(a) companies are relatively young, Chemical Safety has been in business for twenty years and has supported both government and private sector clients of all sizes. O’Donnell says that bringing the 8(a) certification to the table creates a significant “value-added” component not only to federal contracting, but private sector companies that do work with the federal government. Chemical Safety is the only environmental technology provider to have been awarded ISO 9001:2000 certification. (The ISO 9001:2000 quality management standard is part of the ISO 9000 and 14000 families, which are among the most widely known and successful standards ever. The ISO 9001:2000 standard has become an internationally recognized reference for ensuring the highest possible quality in business to business dealings.)
