Company Profile

Sterling Heritage is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) located in Great Falls, Virginia that was incorporated in 2000 for the purposes of providing our public sector clients with tools and techniques to develop business strategies, improve business processes, implement laws, optimize resources, and develop innovative and effective education programs for their personnel. Since our incorporation in 2000, Sterling Heritage has assisted Federal agencies with a multitude of mission critical information technology (IT) services. Our team of experts provides a full spectrum of technical, and systems support services. Our life-cycle systems capabilities include strategic planning, systems design, engineering, software development, independent verification and validation, maintenance, and logistics support. We support engineers, technical managers and system professionals in overseeing their requirements as they grow from concept through system deployment.

Sterling Heritage currently employs a large number of professionals who work on a diverse set of projects from our corporate facilities in the National Capital Region (NCR) and client facilities throughout the Continental United States (CONUS). Each Sterling Heritage employee possesses the necessary skillset and experience needed to deliver outstanding services to our clients. Forty-three percent of our employees hold a master’s degree or higher and all of our employees hold bachelor’s degrees. Most of our employees belong to professional organizations such as the Project Management Institute (PMI), the American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS), and the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP).

Organizational and Accounting Controls: Our corporate office, located in Great Falls, Virginia, is responsible for the daily operations of the company. We use QuickBooks accounting software to manage and control our accounting functions. We use this system to record all project-related financial activity, subcontracts, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.

Our accounting functions are performed by our Director of Business Operations who enters the necessary project account information into our system. He is supervised by Robert Buco, a certified public accountant and tax attorney. Our time collection reporting system and payroll are processed by Dominion Payroll. Our employees record time expended on project work daily. Project managers are responsible for assigning charge codes to the staff members assigned to their projects. These individuals also are responsible for the day-to-day management of project budgets and deliverables. The accounting system facilitates project management by providing timely project budget reporting, which accurately reflects project budget data by proposed labor category.

Our Ability to Acquire Resources/Personnel:

Our Human Resources and Staffing Project Management Office (PMO) engages in a continuous effort to recruit and retain professionals, to monitor and track staffing performance benchmarks and to ensure project performance and compliance. The staffing team is a cohesive group that is constantly anticipating new positions which may require staffing. This ability to anticipate staffing requirements results in a pool of qualified candidates with diverse backgrounds who are able to begin employment immediately upon contract award. Our Human Resources and Staffing PMO’s proven staffing process continuously results in optimal staffing for successful contract performance.

Once Sterling Heritage is notified of an opening, we begin identifying candidates from our existing pipeline, many of whom have already gone through the formal interview process and are ready to be placed under any task given, pending client approval. If a candidate has not been screened and interviewed, our staffing team will conduct behavioral interviews determining interpersonal communication skills, personality type, and core competencies. If a candidate is deemed to be qualified to fulfill the contract requirements, they will be subject to extensive background investigations, including professional reference checks, education verification, employment verification, security clearance verification, and a comprehensive criminal background check. Sterling Heritage Program Managers have daily communications with all staff working remotely to ensure client satisfaction for productivity.

Subcontractors:

As a SDVOSB, Sterling Heritage has been a subcontractor, teamed with other subcontractors, and utilized subcontractors to accomplish project deliverables. We have developed the necessary corporate controls to ensure that our subcontracting partners meet our own high-quality standards. Our subcontracting agreements are negotiated in advance and detail the business relationship, define project roles and responsibilities, specify project reporting and billing requirements and include fully developed project deliverable schedules. We achieve synergy by utilizing firms that have personnel whose strengths complement our own, thereby maximizing team productivity.

Quality Control

Sterling Heritage takes pride in maintaining strict quality control on all projects. We use well-established procedures to ensure that we meet the highest industry standards. All tasks that we undertake must satisfy client-defined quality control standards as well as internal, Sterling Heritage-defined standards. These standards and requirements address quality, cost and schedule throughout all phases of a task. We incorporate internal quality standards into our policies. In addition, we inform and involve our clients continuously throughout all projects to ensure that we satisfy all of their procedures and requirements.

Our program managers, project leaders, and project teams use our quality principles and practices continuously in every task we undertake. These principles and practices, which we have refined during almost fifteen years of successfully providing support to our clients, are the heart of our quality program. Our Program Managers and Project Leaders have established quality goals and are committed to rigorously following our quality control procedures, allowing Sterling Heritage to successfully manage multiple projects and tasks for multiple clients simultaneously.

Our Internal Review Procedures:

The following steps describe the procedures Sterling Heritage uses to produce high quality deliverables:

• After review of requirements documents and discussion with the customer, the Program Manager/Project Leader assigns a primary lead to the deliverable product and discusses the appropriate peer resources to be utilized on the task.

• The primary lead prepares the draft product and actively seeks Peer input and review, and Program Manager/Project Leader input and quality review during preparation.

• After the primary lead has completed the draft product, a copy is generated for Program Manager/Project Leader quality review.

• The Program Manager/Project Leaders discusses any required changes with the primary lead who then makes the corrections to the deliverable.

• The deliverable and associated documentation is edited for final content, grammar, and spelling.

• When editing is complete, edits are reviewed and incorporated by the primary lead.

• The Project Manager/Project Leader conducts a final review of the deliverable and signs the Delivery Letter. Once the Delivery Letter is signed, the product is ready for formal delivery to the Customer.

Our Quality Control Process:

Our project leaders and teams continually apply quality control principles and practices to every task. Sterling Heritage adheres to the tenets of ISO 9001 through our quality management system (QMS). Our QMS is the foundation of our commitment to continuous quality improvement and increased client satisfaction. Our QMS formalizes the relationship between project deliverables and schedule, assigning roles and responsibilities in the project quality review process. Integral to our QMS is a customer satisfaction survey. We use this mechanism to survey our customers to obtain feedback that we use to improve our overall quality.

Upon receipt of any task, Sterling Heritage’s contract manager enters the project deliverable(s) schedule and associated performance metrics into the QMS and schedules the quality reviews associated with the deliverable(s) such that there is ample time, post review, to make any necessary adjustments to the product. Reviewers are selected based on their backgrounds and expertise, and the nature of the review depends on the project deliverable.

Reviewers are designed to ensure that deliverables are accurate, tailored to the audience, reflect current best practices and are polished, professional and free of errors.

The QMS automatically sends e-mails to the contract manager and the review team, to inform them of the scheduled review. In advance of a scheduled review, the contract manager provides the review team with copies of the statement of work and the product under review.

With this preparation, the reviews are accomplished efficiently and without interfering with the day-to-day work schedule. Review results, satisfactory or otherwise, are entered into the QMS and appropriate actions are scheduled, recorded, and if needed, products are re-reviewed.

Role of the Program Manager/Project Leader: The Program Manager/Project Leader is responsible for:

• Monitoring deliverables to ensure the highest level of technical quality, compliance with customer direction, and conformance to the contract.

• Reviewing the status of activities completed to date, near-term objectives, and any critical risks or problems areas affecting deliverable quality.

• Ensuring that peer reviews are conducted.

• Participating as active members in reviews and corrective action activities.

• Auditing work products to verify compliance with contractual requirements and deliverable development plans.

Setting and reordering immediate priorities to respond to urgent requirements established by our customers. Subcontractors: Sterling Heritage has developed the necessary corporate controls to ensure that our subcontracting partners meet our own high-quality standards. Our subcontracting agreements are negotiated in advance. These documents detail aspects of the business relationship, define project roles and responsibilities including quality control requirements, specify project reporting and billing requirements, and include fully developed project deliverable schedules. Prior to delivery of products to our customers, the Sterling Heritage Program Manager/Project Leader is responsible for conducting a complete and thorough review of the product.

Potential Problem Areas: Sterling Heritage’s risk management process includes identifying risks and minimizing their effects before these risks have disrupted program activities. Risk management consists of three activities that are applied repeatedly: risk identification and analysis, risk action planning, and risk tracking and control/minimization. We track, document, plan for mitigation, monitor and report on risks associated with the project. We will provide an assessment of current risks including mitigation factors in the monthly status report.

Meeting Urgent Requirements: Sterling Heritage addresses short-term, urgent requirements with resources from within the current staff and immediately initiates action to recruit and hire appropriately skilled staff to assign to a longer-term urgent requirement. We maintain a current inventory of profiles and resumes of qualified staff for the purpose of responding to longer-term requirements.
