November 2014 
Dear GTSC Members and Friends, 
As GTSC begins its fourth year of service, we sincerely thank our members for their generous 
engagement and we enthusiastically welcome new members. Earlier this year I gratefully 
accepted an offer to join the esteemed Steering Committee. I said yes because I believe in GTSC 
and its members. GTSC is a mission-driven organization, comprised of small and midsized 
companies devoted to providing support for our nation’s homeland and national security mission. 
GTSC has proven itself a valuable resource with high integrity. It provides a bridge between 
smaller businesses and our existing and potential Federal clients. A non-profit, non-partisan 
organization, GTSC’s mission is to harness the energy and ingenuity of its members in order to 
understand and shape how our businesses can support the Federal community we serve. 
Our Coalition has accomplished a tremendous amount in a very short period of time – we’ve 
grown to over 140 companies, added a cadre of deeply experienced strategic advisors and 
developed new programming areas, in-reach, and opportunities for engagement with our Federal 
partners. All of this and much more helps each of our members to establish better and stronger 
relationships with the departments and agencies that are our core business focus. 
More, GTSC has become a valuable partner for government itself. We have identified 
opportunities for technology and services deployments and have provided counsel on how to 
streamline procurement for small and midsize companies. The plethora of security risks our 
nation faces are real and increasing, from terrorist threats to a daunting range of criminal threats to 
our nation’s physical and cyber infrastructure. GTSC’s members are actively engaged in helping 
our Federal partners to mitigate these risks. GTSC’s numerous programs are built to amplify, 
focus and support that commitment. 
We believe that GTSC’s growth – in membership and programming – is an indication of its 
commitment to this special partnership between government and industry. I look forward to a 
successful year and to further expansion of GTSC’s important work. 
Sincerely, 
Michael P. Jackson 
Chairman & CEO, VidSys, Inc. 
Chair, GTSC Steering Committee

ABOUT GTSC 
VISION: It’s About the Mission.

information exchange between the public and private sector on 
homeland and national security ideas, technologies and 
innovations that will achieve mission. 
MISSION 
Our mission is to provide exceptional advocacy, capacity building, 
partnership opportunities and marketing in the Federal security 
space for small and mid-sized companies. We do this to support 
and assist our government partners achieve their critical missions 
with the highest integrity; best and most innovative technologies; 
and results-based, quality products and services to prevent, 
protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from, any 
terrorist attack or natural disaster. 
Hey! 
Are you contributing to GTSC’s response 
on the DoD-GSA Cyber Resilience 
Voluntary Rules? 
You bet cybersecurity is critical to 
protecting our Federal partners and to our 
company. There are so many cyber 
attacks we are definitely weighing in. 
We’re also attending the Insider Threat 
program will you be there? 
Wouldn’t miss it. Everyone will be there – 
ODNI, DSS, NIST see you there!

PROGRAMMING 
The Government Technology & Services Coalition is focused on a holistic approach to our 
members’ success. From Insight Sessions to understand the government client, to enhancing 
business development resources and building internal capacity, the Coalition works to provide the 
best learning opportunities for growth. Working with the Departments of Homeland Security 
(DHS), Defense (DoD), Justice (DoJ), State (DoS) and the Intelligence Community (IC), GTSC 
hosts the following sessions: 
INSIGHT SESSIONS 
Monthly, GTSC hosts Federal 
or Congressional officials to 
discuss the challenges in the 
Federal security mission, host 
workshops on engagement 
with the Federal customer and promote the 
exchange of innovative ideas between the public 
and private sector. 
CEO-to-CEO 
ROUNDTABLES 
No one understands the 
challenges and unique 
demands of our market like 
someone who has grown a 
successful company in it. 
Understanding that, CEOs of 
our member companies share their insights, 
lessons learned and advice for others working in 
the homeland and national security markets. 
CAPACITY BUILDING 
Every company, small to 
large, faces a host of growing 
pains and internal challenges 
to meet the needs of success. 
Through exceptional 
relationships with an A-list of 
advisors, mentors and 
luminaries in corporate 
growth, GTSC hosts hands-on sessions to assure 
that member companies have the best tools 
available to build their internal capacity and further 
their growth, specifically in the Federal market. 
MARKET SOLUTIONS 
SERIES 
The Market Solutions Series 
provides an inside look at the 
creative, successful 
interactions and thorny 
challenges that may be 
impeding growth in the Federal 
homeland and national security markets. 
MENTOR SESSIONS 
GTSC works closely with our 
“Mentors” – large companies 
in our market – to find winning 
teams. Executives from our 
mentor companies join us to 
share their advice and 
perspectives on how they are 
positioning, teaming 
opportunities and discussions around how the 
innovation of small business can contribute to the 
mission. 
NEW IN 2013-2014: 
BUSINESS 
DEVELOPMENT 
EXCHANGE (BDE) 
Members asked for an 
open exchange of 
ideas and information 
on upcoming 
opportunities and ways 
to get to know possible teaming partners. The 
BDE tracks opportunities and develops 
relationships in a member-driven forum. 
EMERGING SMALL BUSINESS GROUP 
The ESBG focuses on what emerging small 
contracting firms need to know about their clients 
and internal capacity to succeed in the Federal 
market.

Government Technology & Services Coalition -- Building Our Community 
Members, mentors, and partners in the Government Technology & Services Coalition are committed to building a 
community of homeland and national security professionals, and more importantly, colleagues. We show that commitment 
by supporting efforts to reintegrate our warfighters, assure that we maintain the highest values and standards in our 
community, and recognize those who adhere to the spirit as well as the letter of teaming, partnership and mentoring. We 
are actively working to assure that our numerous responders and public and private partners are not “exchanging business 
cards at the scene.” 
Linden Resources 
GTSC partners with Linden Resources to find meaningful employment for veterans on their return to civilian life. 
Linden Resources’ Vets Ready2Work program empowers veterans with disabilities to attain and sustain 
employment, enabling them to achieve independence and regain self-sufficiency. GTSC member companies work 
with Linden to hire veterans, provide feedback on workplace requirements and refer veterans to the program. 
Supporting the Missions of our Government Partners 
Since GTSC’s inception we have worked to align our priorities with the missions of our homeland and national 
security agencies. We have developed resources, programming, and activities for our members and the broader 
community to align with our government partners on cybersecurity, insider threat, preparedness, infrastructure 
protection and much more. Through workshops, webinars, surveys and awareness campaigns, GTSC works to 
educate our members and build a strong community of partners in the homeland and national security community. 
Business Workshops for Government 
Meeting with Executive Officials throughout the Federal government, the Government Technology & Services 
Coalition heard repeatedly that everyone wanted – and needed – a better understanding of the private sector. To 
that end, GTSC developed four workshops that provide a mini “MBA” on the lifecycle, process, challenges and 
decisions that companies face as they enter and grow in the Federal market. Taught by Chief Executive Officers 
and C-suite level executives from the GTSC membership, these workshops cover small business, mid-tier ($15 
million-$1 billion), and large business ($1 billion+). If you would like more information or to schedule a workshop, 
please contact us at: www.GTSCoalition.com 
GTSC Recognition Awards 
GTSC members know that numerous public and private sector officials work to protect the homeland every day. Many 
work with little recognition on challenges and issues critical to achieving the mission of protecting our country. GTSC 
recognizes numerous individuals and companies at our Holiday Awards, to honor these heroes and raise awareness of 
their contributions to the homeland and national security mission.

GTSC Awards: 
Federal Small Business Champion of the Year 
Federal Small Business Champion of the Year is awarded annually to the Federal official(s) who show a distinct 
commitment and tangible results toward improving the environment and success for small businesses in the Federal 
homeland and national security market. 
Market Maven Award 
This award is presented to an exceptional individual who contributes in a tangible way to the efficiency, 
productivity and effectiveness of the homeland and national security market. The awardee is a proven thought 
leader with a belief in increasing individual opportunity, the power of free enterprise and the nurture of innovation 
to advance and support the homeland and national security mission. 
Most Valuable Player Award 
MVP is awarded to a Federal official who modernizes and improves the operations and performance of an agency, 
component, program or division to increase capacity and performance, speed delivery and use innovation. These 
leaders also focus on the future – developing strategies and plans to address our constantly changing, dynamic threat 
environment. 
GTSC and Government Contracting Weekly Join Forces to Present The Mentors 
Washington, D.C. – Government Contracting Weekly, the only television program devoted to winning 
government contracts, and the Government Technology & Services Coalition launched “The Mentors,” a 
Special Award Program and Strategic Partnership to recognize companies that mentor and contribute to 
the success of small businesses. 
The awards program recognizes and salutes government contractors for their leadership and concrete 
actions in assisting small government contracting firms through mentoring, training, inspiration, teaming 
and cooperation. See page 23 for more details. 
Small Business Member of the Year 
The award is presented annually to the GTSC Member that exemplifies exceptional quality and ethics for the 
Federal government, a commitment to GTSC’s small business members and advocacy on behalf of our 
community. 
Mentor of the Year 
Mentor of the Year is awarded annually to the GTSC Mentor who has worked to increase members’ 
understanding of the homeland and national security market, increase business opportunities for small 
companies through formal and informal mentoring and engage with GTSC to promote an innovative, robust, 
fair market for all. 
Mid-Tier Member of the Year 
Mid-Tier Member of the Year is awarded to the firm that has contributed positively to increasing the 
opportunities, ideas and understanding of mid-tier companies in the Federal market. Coined “other than small,” 
these companies often are “rewarded” for their success with untenable competition from billion+ companies. 
GTSC’s Mid-Tier Member of the Year works on market solutions, creative market partnerships and increased 
options for growth.

NEW in 2014! 
GTSC Business Development Exchange 
Earlier this year, GTSC members asked for the Coalition to 
develop a trusted environment to meet and develop potential 
teaming partners, make their business development efforts 
more efficient, and share information among peers. Randy 
Lange, Chief Growth Officer for Eagle Ray, Inc. chairs the 
group, limited to 20 GTSC companies. Participants are 
required to attend each meeting, 
participate actively in the information 
exchange and contribute their 
leadership in subject matter areas. The 
BDE group meets monthly to share 
information and opportunities. 
Randy Lange 
Chief Growth Officer 
Eagle Ray Inc. 
Emerging Small Business Group 
The Emerging Small Business Group (ESBG) was formed to 
provide dedicated programming and resources for Emerging 
Small Businesses (businesses with revenue <$2.5M). The 
group focuses on engaging emerging small business owners, 
understanding the numerous challenges of starting/growing a 
small business in the Federal space and marshaling GTSC’s 
vast resources of peers, owners, mentors, subject matter experts 
and online virtual tools to provide our members the knowledge 
and techniques needed to meet the challenges of growing a 
business. The workshops cover small business loans, 
marketing, teaming, partnerships and growth strategy, among 
the many other issues confronted by a new firm in the Federal 
contracting space. 
Elaine Kapetanakis 
Chief Operating Officer 
Kapstone Technologies 
Improving Market Research 
Members of GTSC believe that the market research currently 
performed by Federal agencies is not sufficient to bring the best 
products and solutions to our Federal partners. The Request for 
Information (RFI) process, while a “tool” to provide input, is not 
seen as dynamic enough to really develop ideas and 
requirements, or inform on capabilities. Additionally, smaller 
companies with great technologies have tremendous difficulty 
taking time away from pursuing business, in favor of responding 
to requests for information that may not result in a contract or 
opportunity. To assist, GTSC members, under the leadership of 
Brian Nault, President of BlueWater Federal, have developed a 
series of conversations with procurement officials to discuss the 
challenges of market research, and how we can improve it to 
achieve better results and more options for the government. 
These efforts assist small companies that have no current 
connection or avenue into the government by enabling them to 
be “seen” by such market research.

GTSC Members! 
We have had a tremendous year, and as Chair of the Lion’s Den, I can attest to tangible progress on behalf of our 
members. The Lion’s Den is comprised of GTSC Member companies classified as “other than small” and membership in the 
group is included in GTSC’s offerings. As you all know, GTSC believes in the success of all our members — regardless of 
size. So, when small businesses approach, and cross over into what we categorize as "mid-tier,” we want to provide the best 
resources, and the most effective collaboration and assistance possible. GTSC members are automatically included in the 
Lion’s Den when they cross the important milestone of growing out of their NAICs code. 
GTSC and I have been working on several important projects with our government partners — particularly within DHS. We’ve 
educated procurement and acquisition professionals on the value proposition of our mid-tier firms. We’ve provided briefings to 
educate our customers about the unique value member firms bring to our government partners. And, we've helped our partners 
think through how they can craft procurements that encourage more competition and opportunity for all of us. The response has 
been extremely positive from our collective government customers and we anticipate more activity and engagement with them 
as a result. We’ve made a lot of progress educating and elevating the challenges of mid-tier companies among our agencies. 
A big thank you to our team of Lion’s Den members — they have been incredibly active, and engaged in all of our monthly 
meetings and presentations with our government partners. I appreciate working with all of you and believe we have some 
incredible opportunities to pursue in 2015. 
Thanks again, 
Brad Cole 
Vice President, Agilex 
Chair, GTSC Lion’s Den 
The Lion’s Den is a distinguished cadre of mid-tier companies devoted to the homeland and national 
security market. Their success, based on exceptional client work and outstanding business acumen, has 
graduated these companies to “other than small” in the Federal market. This status creates new and 
difficult challenges for mid-sized companies now ineligible for set-asides and facing intense competition 
from very large companies. The Lion’s Den is focused on creating awareness and supporting programs, 
along with policies and ventures to support the continuum of growth from small to mid-sized through 
partnership, advocacy and increased business opportunities.

OUR MENTORS 
GTSC’s Mentor companies understand how critical a robust, successful 
homeland and national security market is to our nation’s 
security. Together with our members, these firms are committed to 
bringing the innovation, ideas and agility of small business to the 
experience, infrastructure and resources of large companies. GTSC 
mentors join us to find new teaming partners, jointly develop new 
innovation and ideas to address security challenges, and improve 
mentor/protégé communication and success. Our Mentors are serious 
about developing strong relationships with small businesses that have the 
experience and capabilities required by our dynamic homeland and 
national security environment.

MENTORING ACTIVITIES 
Throughou t the year, exe cutives from our Mentor companies join us to

VOICE GTSC has made so much progress since our last Annual Report! 
GTSC members have created numerous opportunities to engage with 
our government partners, provide input to various initiatives impacting 
the contracting community, and make significant progress in educating 
and raising awareness of our members on cybersecurity, insider 
threat, data breaches, and personnel security. 
ACHIEVING THE 
MISSION: SECURING 
THE SUPPLY CHAIN 
GTSC members take seriously their role as a critical 
part of the Federal supply chain. We hosted numer-ous 
activities to assist small and mid-sized compa-nies 
in securing their data, infrastructure, people 
and facilities. Together with the Office of the 
Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), GTSC 
hosted a day-long seminar on the current state of 
threat against our companies from both an econom-ic 
espionage and insider threat perspective. 
GTSC also aligned – for our third year – with the 
U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s 
priorities around National Preparedness Month 
(NPM), National Cybersecurity Awareness 
Month (NCSAM) and Critical Infrastructure 
Security & Resilience Month (CISRM). During 
NPM we hosted an in-depth session with our 
partners at the Federal Emergency Management 
Agency to discuss the Agency’s priorities, business 
preparedness and risk mitigation. During NCSAM, 
for the second year, GTSC hosted four weeks of 
activities focused on our members’ cyber aware-ness 
and security. Strategic Partner Dickstein 
Shapiro conducted two critical webinars: Key 
Cyber Security Issues: Managing Cyber Securi-ty 
Risks for Government Contractors and Cyber 
Security Compliance for Government Contrac-tors: 
What You Need to Know Now to Stay 
Ahead of the Curve. GTSC also joined forces with 
the FBI’s public-private partnership for infrastruc-ture 
protection, InfraGard of the National Capital 
Region to discuss how to partner more effectively 
to strengthen the public private partnership to 
protect our cyber infrastructure. We also worked 
with InfraGard to develop a cybersecurity survey to 
understand better the needs and concerns of the 
private sector in securing their cyber assets (the 
results are available on our website: www.GTSCoa-lition. 
com). For CISRM, we were honored to have 
Assistant Secretary Caitlin Durkovich join our 
Annual Meeting to discuss the National Protection 
and Programs Directorate of the U.S. Department 
of Homeland Security’s priorities for infrastructure 
protection. 
CARRYING OUR 
VOICE 
ASSURING GTSC 
MEMBERS HAVE THE 
BEST RESOURCES 
AVAILABLE TO THEM 
GTSC has made incredible progress developing the 
voice and presence of our innovative, creative 
members. In addition to numerous projects with our 
Federal partners, GTSC launched our first “GTSC 
Capitol Hill Day” with Founding Strategic Partner, 
Michelle Mrdeza at Cornerstone Government 
Affairs. Working with Michelle, GTSC members 
met with key legislators and heard about current 
and future intiatives. 
We also continued our work with Department of 
Homeland Security headquarters and components 
on several projects to help achieve mission faster, 
and with more innovation. The Lion’s Den – 
GTSC’s mid-tier companies – presented on the 
mid-tier value proposition and challenges faced 
after becoming “other than small.” Additionally, we 
worked to build understanding between industry 
and government through more valuable interaction, 
including improving the de-brief process, market 
research, industry days, and government outreach. 
GTSC was proud to work with the Transportation 
Security Administration on market research and 
industry outreach to increase competition and 
innovation. Additionally, GTSC collaborated with all 
of our members to answer a number of strategic 
questions posed to us by our government partners. 
We provided your comments and suggestions to 
the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer 
(OCPO), covering topics such as DHS industry 
outreach, strategic sourcing, sequestration and 
cybersecurity. 
GTSC also developed, with Strategic Partner 
Dickstein Shapiro, input on the U.S. Department 
of Defense – General Services Administration 
(DoD-GSA) Acquisition Cybersecurity and 
Resilience recommendations. In addition to 
providing written comments, we hosted the 
architects of this effort at our Annual Meeting and at 
our cyber activities in 2013. GTSC also worked with 
the Science & Technology Directorate of DHS on 
their annual Small Business Innovation 
Research (SBIR) Conference, providing an 
overview of how companies with innovative ideas 
should approach the Federal market. 
Finally, we co-hosted an unprecedented meeting on 
DHS Personnel Security with the Industrial 
Security Working Group. The session brought 
together representatives from DHS Headquarters, 
Customs & Border Protection, the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency, Federal Law 
Enforcement Training Center, U.S. Immigration 
& Customs Enforcement, Transportation 
Security Administration, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. 
Citizenship & Immigration Services, and the U.S. 
Secret Service. Components explained their 
suitability requirements, their clearance process 
and answered numerous questions on clearance 
issues. 
GTSC invested significantly in the structure and 
opportunities for our members. We developed a 
strategic partnership with Government Contract-ing 
Weekly. GTSC's CEO joined GCW as their 
Contributing Editor on Homeland and National 
Security and worked with GTSC members on 
several panels and topics. Together with GCW, 
GTSC also launched The Mentor Awards to 
recognize those large companies that work collabo-ratively 
with their subs to provide the latest innova-tion, 
professionalism, and expertise to our Federal 
partners. 
We made some exciting leadership changes as 
well. We were proud to welcome Les Rose, 
President of L3 National Security Solutions and 
Wayne Lucernoni, President of Harris as the 
co-chairs of our Mentor Forum. Michael P. 
Jackson, Ph.D., former Deputy Secretary of the 
Departments of Homeland Security and Transporta-tion, 
and CEO of VidSys, Inc. joined us as Chair of 
our Steering Committee. We also launched our 
Sector Chief Initiative to work more closely with 
our members on prioritizing the content and focus of 
the Coalition. Sector Chiefs advise us on the 
priorities, areas of interest, and concerns with our 
select Federal partners. 
GTSC also launched the Business Development 
Exchange (see p. 17) that provides a trusted 
environment for information sharing, teaming and 
relationship building. The group is self-limited to 20 
members and meets once a month to discuss 
opportunities. GTSC also offered sponsorship 
opportunities for the first time – members interested 
in increasing their visibility at a selection of our 
activities were provided some valuable opportuni-ties. 
Thank you to Agilex, DynamicPro, Eagle 
Ray, EnProVera, Harris, LeapFrog Solutions, 
and PReSafe Technologies for their support of our 
work. 
GTSC was also proud to add a number of critical 
Strategic Advisors to our Coalition. GTSC 
welcomed Elaine Duke, CEO, Elaine Duke & 
Associates and former Under Secretary for 
Management, DHS; David Aguilar, Partner, GSIS 
and former Acting Commissioner, U.S. Customs & 
Border Protection; Paul Benda, Partner & Chief 
Technology Officer, GSIS and former Director, 
Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects 
Agency (HSARPA), Science & Technology Director-ate, 
DHS; Jason McNamara, Vice President of 
Obsidian Analysis, Inc. and former Chief of Staff, 
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA); 
Molly Wilkinson, Executive Director, Card Policy 
Council and former General Counsel to the Home-land 
Security and Government Affairs Committee, 
United States Senate; and Mo McGowan, Partner 
at Command Consulting Group and former

Operations at the Transportation Security Adminis-tration

  • 2. TABLE OF CONTENTS GTSC Annual Report July 2013 – November 2014 2 Welcome from Michael P. Jackson, Chair, GTSC Steering Committee 4 3 Welcome from Kristina Tanasichuk, Founder & CEO, GTSC About the Government Technology & Services Coalition 5 GTSC Programming Descriptions 6 GTSC Insight Sessions 10 GTSC Capacity Building Sessions 12 Building Our Community: It’s About Mission 14 GTSC Annual Awards Photos 15 GTSC Steering Committee 16 GTSC Sector Chiefs 17 GTSC Interest Groups 18 Our Members 20 The Lion’s Den: GTSC’s Mid- Tier 26 GTSC Strategic Advisors 21 Our Mentors 23 The Mentor Awards 25 Carrying Our Voice 27 GTSC Strategic Partners 28 GTSC Staff & Contact Information
  • 3. November 2014 Dear GTSC Members and Friends, As GTSC begins its fourth year of service, we sincerely thank our members for their generous engagement and we enthusiastically welcome new members. Earlier this year I gratefully accepted an offer to join the esteemed Steering Committee. I said yes because I believe in GTSC and its members. GTSC is a mission-driven organization, comprised of small and midsized companies devoted to providing support for our nation’s homeland and national security mission. GTSC has proven itself a valuable resource with high integrity. It provides a bridge between smaller businesses and our existing and potential Federal clients. A non-profit, non-partisan organization, GTSC’s mission is to harness the energy and ingenuity of its members in order to understand and shape how our businesses can support the Federal community we serve. Our Coalition has accomplished a tremendous amount in a very short period of time – we’ve grown to over 140 companies, added a cadre of deeply experienced strategic advisors and developed new programming areas, in-reach, and opportunities for engagement with our Federal partners. All of this and much more helps each of our members to establish better and stronger relationships with the departments and agencies that are our core business focus. More, GTSC has become a valuable partner for government itself. We have identified opportunities for technology and services deployments and have provided counsel on how to streamline procurement for small and midsize companies. The plethora of security risks our nation faces are real and increasing, from terrorist threats to a daunting range of criminal threats to our nation’s physical and cyber infrastructure. GTSC’s members are actively engaged in helping our Federal partners to mitigate these risks. GTSC’s numerous programs are built to amplify, focus and support that commitment. We believe that GTSC’s growth – in membership and programming – is an indication of its commitment to this special partnership between government and industry. I look forward to a successful year and to further expansion of GTSC’s important work. Sincerely, Michael P. Jackson Chairman & CEO, VidSys, Inc. Chair, GTSC Steering Committee 2
  • 4. 2 Dear GTSC Members & Community, Thank you for a stellar year! From our inception in 2011, we have rapidly grown in numbers and stature because of our work on beh alf of our government partne rs . GTSC’s pro jects have evolved based on what our g overnment partners need to achieve mission. Th is focus has drawn the people and companies committed to the best solutions and fresh ideas needed to protect America. It hasn’t been easy, but our members have stepped up to create new avenu es to bring their innovation, cost effectiveness and agility to our partners. New initiatives like the Business Development Exchange, the Emerging Small Business Group, market research projects an d other activities with our Federal pa rtners provided concrete ways to work collaboratively and ethically to e xchange information and cultivate an environment where inno vatio n thrives. You’l l learn more about our activities in the next pages – our new programs, the successes of member initiatives such as the Lion’s Den and its work on behalf of mid-size companies, our new awards program to recognize outstandin g Mentors, and the Mentor Forum for ou r large company partners. GTSC could not thrive with out you. Your re ferrals, good words and hard work have built this organization to the leadin g non -profit working to bring re al innovation and fresh ideas to assure our agencies achieve missio n. Thank you for your contribution to this incredibly important mission. Let’s make it a nother outstanding year! Go team! Kristina Tanasichuk Founder & CEO Gove rnment Technology & Services Coalition 3
  • 5. 3 ABOUT GTSC VISION: It’s About the Mission. Our vision is to provide an ethical, effective platform for information exchange between the public and private sector on homeland and national security ideas, technologies and innovations that will achieve mission.

Hey! Are you contributing to GTSC’s response on the DoD-GSA Cyber Resilience Voluntary Rules? You bet cybersecurity is critical to protecting our Federal partners and to our company. There are so many cyber attacks we are definitely weighing in. We’re also attending the Insider Threat program will you be there? Wouldn’t miss it. Everyone will be there – ODNI, DSS, NIST see you there! 4
  • 6. 4 PROGRAMMING The Government Technology & Services Coalition is focused on a holistic approach to our members’ success.

  • 13. Images for GTSC Government Technology & Services Coalition -- Building Our Community Members, mentors, and partners in the Government Technology & Services Coalition are committed to building a community of homeland and national security professionals, and more importantly, colleagues. We show that commitment by supporting efforts to reintegrate our warfighters, assure that we maintain the highest values and standards in our community, and recognize those who adhere to the spirit as well as the letter of teaming, partnership and mentoring. We are actively working to assure that our numerous responders and public and private partners are not “exchanging business cards at the scene.” Linden Resources GTSC partners with Linden Resources to find meaningful employment for veterans on their return to civilian life. Linden Resources’ Vets Ready2Work program empowers veterans with disabilities to attain and sustain employment, enabling them to achieve independence and regain self-sufficiency. GTSC member companies work with Linden to hire veterans, provide feedback on workplace requirements and refer veterans to the program. Supporting the Missions of our Government Partners Since GTSC’s inception we have worked to align our priorities with the missions of our homeland and national security agencies. We have developed resources, programming, and activities for our members and the broader community to align with our government partners on cybersecurity, insider threat, preparedness, infrastructure protection and much more. Through workshops, webinars, surveys and awareness campaigns, GTSC works to educate our members and build a strong community of partners in the homeland and national security community. Business Workshops for Government Meeting with Executive Officials throughout the Federal government, the Government Technology & Services Coalition heard repeatedly that everyone wanted – and needed – a better understanding of the private sector. To that end, GTSC developed four workshops that provide a mini “MBA” on the lifecycle, process, challenges and decisions that companies face as they enter and grow in the Federal market. Taught by Chief Executive Officers and C-suite level executives from the GTSC membership, these workshops cover small business, mid-tier ($15 million-$1 billion), and large business ($1 billion+). If you would like more information or to schedule a workshop, please contact us at: www.GTSCoalition.com GTSC Recognition Awards GTSC members know that numerous public and private sector officials work to protect the homeland every day. Many work with little recognition on challenges and issues critical to achieving the mission of protecting our country. GTSC recognizes numerous individuals and companies at our Holiday Awards, to honor these heroes and raise awareness of their contributions to the homeland and national security mission.

  • 14. GTSC Awards: Federal Small Business Champion of the Year Federal Small Business Champion of the Year is awarded annually to the Federal official(s) who show a distinct commitment and tangible results toward improving the environment and success for small businesses in the Federal homeland and national security market. Market Maven Award This award is presented to an exceptional individual who contributes in a tangible way to the efficiency, productivity and effectiveness of the homeland and national security market. The awardee is a proven thought leader with a belief in increasing individual opportunity, the power of free enterprise and the nurture of innovation to advance and support the homeland and national security mission. Most Valuable Player Award MVP is awarded to a Federal official who modernizes and improves the operations and performance of an agency, component, program or division to increase capacity and performance, speed delivery and use innovation. These leaders also focus on the future – developing strategies and plans to address our constantly changing, dynamic threat environment. GTSC and Government Contracting Weekly Join Forces to Present The Mentors Washington, D.C. – Government Contracting Weekly, the only television program devoted to winning government contracts, and the Government Technology & Services Coalition launched “The Mentors,” a Special Award Program and Strategic Partnership to recognize companies that mentor and contribute to the success of small businesses. The awards program recognizes and salutes government contractors for their leadership and concrete actions in assisting small government contracting firms through mentoring, training, inspiration, teaming and cooperation. See page 23 for more details. Small Business Member of the Year The award is presented annually to the GTSC Member that exemplifies exceptional quality and ethics for the Federal government, a commitment to GTSC’s small business members and advocacy on behalf of our community. Mentor of the Year Mentor of the Year is awarded annually to the GTSC Mentor who has worked to increase members’ understanding of the homeland and national security market, increase business opportunities for small companies through formal and informal mentoring and engage with GTSC to promote an innovative, robust, fair market for all. Mid-Tier Member of the Year Mid-Tier Member of the Year is awarded to the firm that has contributed positively to increasing the opportunities, ideas and understanding of mid-tier companies in the Federal market.

  • 18. ! NEW in 2014! GTSC Business Development Exchange Earlier this year, GTSC members asked for the Coalition to develop a trusted environment to meet and develop potential teaming partners, make their business development efforts more efficient, and share information among peers. Randy Lange, Chief Growth Officer for Eagle Ray, Inc. chairs the group, limited to 20 GTSC companies. Participants are required to attend each meeting, participate actively in the information exchange and contribute their leadership in subject matter areas. The BDE group meets monthly to share information and opportunities. Randy Lange Chief Growth Officer Eagle Ray Inc. Emerging Small Business Group The Emerging Small Business Group (ESBG) was formed to provide dedicated programming and resources for Emerging Small Businesses (businesses with revenue <$2.5M). The group focuses on engaging emerging small business owners, understanding the numerous challenges of starting/growing a small business in the Federal space and marshaling GTSC’s vast resources of peers, owners, mentors, subject matter experts and online virtual tools to provide our members the knowledge and techniques needed to meet the challenges of growing a business. The workshops cover small business loans, marketing, teaming, partnerships and growth strategy, among the many other issues confronted by a new firm in the Federal contracting space. Elaine Kapetanakis Chief Operating Officer Kapstone Technologies Improving Market Research Members of GTSC believe that the market research currently performed by Federal agencies is not sufficient to bring the best products and solutions to our Federal partners. The Request for Information (RFI) process, while a “tool” to provide input, is not seen as dynamic enough to really develop ideas and requirements, or inform on capabilities. Additionally, smaller companies with great technologies have tremendous difficulty taking time away from pursuing business, in favor of responding to requests for information that may not result in a contract or opportunity. To assist, GTSC members, under the leadership of Brian Nault, President of BlueWater Federal, have developed a series of conversations with procurement officials to discuss the challenges of market research, and how we can improve it to achieve better results and more options for the government. These efforts assist small companies that have no current connection or avenue into the government by enabling them to be “seen” by such market research. Brian Nault President BlueWater Federal 17

  • 21. GTSC Members! We have had a tremendous year, and as Chair of the Lion’s Den, I can attest to tangible progress on behalf of our members. The Lion’s Den is comprised of GTSC Member companies classified as “other than small” and membership in the group is included in GTSC’s offerings. As you all know, GTSC believes in the success of all our members — regardless of size. So, when small businesses approach, and cross over into what we categorize as "mid-tier,” we want to provide the best resources, and the most effective collaboration and assistance possible. GTSC members are automatically included in the Lion’s Den when they cross the important milestone of growing out of their NAICs code. GTSC and I have been working on several important projects with our government partners — particularly within DHS. We’ve educated procurement and acquisition professionals on the value proposition of our mid-tier firms. We’ve provided briefings to educate our customers about the unique value member firms bring to our government partners. And, we've helped our partners think through how they can craft procurements that encourage more competition and opportunity for all of us. The response has been extremely positive from our collective government customers and we anticipate more activity and engagement with them as a result. We’ve made a lot of progress educating and elevating the challenges of mid-tier companies among our agencies. A big thank you to our team of Lion’s Den members — they have been incredibly active, and engaged in all of our monthly meetings and presentations with our government partners. I appreciate working with all of you and believe we have some incredible opportunities to pursue in 2015. Thanks again, Brad Cole Vice President, Agilex Chair, GTSC Lion’s Den The Lion’s Den is a distinguished cadre of mid-tier companies devoted to the homeland and national security market. Their success, based on exceptional client work and outstanding business acumen, has graduated these companies to “other than small” in the Federal market. This status creates new and difficult challenges for mid-sized companies now ineligible for set-asides and facing intense competition from very large companies. The Lion’s Den is focused on creating awareness and supporting programs, along with policies and ventures to support the continuum of growth from small to mid-sized through partnership, advocacy and increased business opportunities. 20
  • 22. OUR MENTORS GTSC’s Mentor companies understand how critical a robust, successful homeland and national security market is to our nation’s security. Together with our members, these firms are committed to bringing the innovation, ideas and agility of small business to the experience, infrastructure and resources of large companies. GTSC mentors join us to find new teaming partners, jointly develop new innovation and ideas to address security challenges, and improve mentor/protégé communication and success. Our Mentors are serious about developing strong relationships with small businesses that have the experience and capabilities required by our dynamic homeland and national security environment.

In 2014, GTSC welcomed Les Rose, President of L3 National Security Solutions (L3 NSS), and Wayne Lucernoni, President of Harris as co-chairs of the Mentor Forum. These leaders contribute their thought leadership and experience with small business to strengthen their strategy and further develop the small businesses in the Coalition.

  • 24. 3 THE MENTOR AWARDS New in 2014, GTSC partnered with Govern ment Contracting Weekly to launch the inaugural Mentor Awards. Th e awards prog ram recognizes and salutes government contractors for their leadership and concrete actions in assisting small government contracting firms through mentoring, training, inspiration, teaming and cooperation. GTSC members believe that mentoring is critical to the contracting community.

  • 26. VOICE GTSC has made so much progress since our last Annual Report! GTSC members have created numerous opportunities to engage with our government partners, provide input to various initiatives impacting the contracting community, and make significant progress in educating and raising awareness of our members on cybersecurity, insider threat, data breaches, and personnel security. ACHIEVING THE MISSION: SECURING THE SUPPLY CHAIN GTSC members take seriously their role as a critical part of the Federal supply chain. We hosted numer-ous activities to assist small and mid-sized compa-nies in securing their data, infrastructure, people and facilities. Together with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), GTSC hosted a day-long seminar on the current state of threat against our companies from both an econom-ic espionage and insider threat perspective. GTSC also aligned – for our third year – with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s priorities around National Preparedness Month (NPM), National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) and Critical Infrastructure Security & Resilience Month (CISRM). During NPM we hosted an in-depth session with our partners at the Federal Emergency Management Agency to discuss the Agency’s priorities, business preparedness and risk mitigation. During NCSAM, for the second year, GTSC hosted four weeks of activities focused on our members’ cyber aware-ness and security. Strategic Partner Dickstein Shapiro conducted two critical webinars: Key Cyber Security Issues: Managing Cyber Securi-ty Risks for Government Contractors and Cyber Security Compliance for Government Contrac-tors: What You Need to Know Now to Stay Ahead of the Curve. GTSC also joined forces with the FBI’s public-private partnership for infrastruc-ture protection, InfraGard of the National Capital Region to discuss how to partner more effectively to strengthen the public private partnership to protect our cyber infrastructure. We also worked with InfraGard to develop a cybersecurity survey to understand better the needs and concerns of the private sector in securing their cyber assets (the results are available on our website: www.GTSCoa-lition. com). For CISRM, we were honored to have Assistant Secretary Caitlin Durkovich join our Annual Meeting to discuss the National Protection and Programs Directorate of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s priorities for infrastructure protection. CARRYING OUR VOICE ASSURING GTSC MEMBERS HAVE THE BEST RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM GTSC has made incredible progress developing the voice and presence of our innovative, creative members. In addition to numerous projects with our Federal partners, GTSC launched our first “GTSC Capitol Hill Day” with Founding Strategic Partner, Michelle Mrdeza at Cornerstone Government Affairs. Working with Michelle, GTSC members met with key legislators and heard about current and future intiatives. We also continued our work with Department of Homeland Security headquarters and components on several projects to help achieve mission faster, and with more innovation. The Lion’s Den – GTSC’s mid-tier companies – presented on the mid-tier value proposition and challenges faced after becoming “other than small.” Additionally, we worked to build understanding between industry and government through more valuable interaction, including improving the de-brief process, market research, industry days, and government outreach. GTSC was proud to work with the Transportation Security Administration on market research and industry outreach to increase competition and innovation. Additionally, GTSC collaborated with all of our members to answer a number of strategic questions posed to us by our government partners. We provided your comments and suggestions to the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer (OCPO), covering topics such as DHS industry outreach, strategic sourcing, sequestration and cybersecurity. GTSC also developed, with Strategic Partner Dickstein Shapiro, input on the U.S. Department of Defense – General Services Administration (DoD-GSA) Acquisition Cybersecurity and Resilience recommendations. In addition to providing written comments, we hosted the architects of this effort at our Annual Meeting and at our cyber activities in 2013. GTSC also worked with the Science & Technology Directorate of DHS on their annual Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Conference, providing an overview of how companies with innovative ideas should approach the Federal market. Finally, we co-hosted an unprecedented meeting on DHS Personnel Security with the Industrial Security Working Group. The session brought together representatives from DHS Headquarters, Customs & Border Protection, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement, Transportation Security Administration, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services, and the U.S. Secret Service. Components explained their suitability requirements, their clearance process and answered numerous questions on clearance issues. GTSC invested significantly in the structure and opportunities for our members. We developed a strategic partnership with Government Contract-ing Weekly. GTSC's CEO joined GCW as their Contributing Editor on Homeland and National Security and worked with GTSC members on several panels and topics. Together with GCW, GTSC also launched The Mentor Awards to recognize those large companies that work collabo-ratively with their subs to provide the latest innova-tion, professionalism, and expertise to our Federal partners. We made some exciting leadership changes as well. We were proud to welcome Les Rose, President of L3 National Security Solutions and Wayne Lucernoni, President of Harris as the co-chairs of our Mentor Forum. Michael P. Jackson, Ph.D., former Deputy Secretary of the Departments of Homeland Security and Transporta-tion, and CEO of VidSys, Inc. joined us as Chair of our Steering Committee. We also launched our Sector Chief Initiative to work more closely with our members on prioritizing the content and focus of the Coalition. Sector Chiefs advise us on the priorities, areas of interest, and concerns with our select Federal partners. GTSC also launched the Business Development Exchange (see p. 17) that provides a trusted environment for information sharing, teaming and relationship building. The group is self-limited to 20 members and meets once a month to discuss opportunities. GTSC also offered sponsorship opportunities for the first time – members interested in increasing their visibility at a selection of our activities were provided some valuable opportuni-ties. Thank you to Agilex, DynamicPro, Eagle Ray, EnProVera, Harris, LeapFrog Solutions, and PReSafe Technologies for their support of our work. GTSC was also proud to add a number of critical Strategic Advisors to our Coalition. GTSC welcomed Elaine Duke, CEO, Elaine Duke & Associates and former Under Secretary for Management, DHS; David Aguilar, Partner, GSIS and former Acting Commissioner, U.S. Customs & Border Protection; Paul Benda, Partner & Chief Technology Officer, GSIS and former Director, Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA), Science & Technology Director-ate, DHS; Jason McNamara, Vice President of Obsidian Analysis, Inc. and former Chief of Staff, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA); Molly Wilkinson, Executive Director, Card Policy Council and former General Counsel to the Home-land Security and Government Affairs Committee, United States Senate; and Mo McGowan, Partner at Command Consulting Group and former Assistant Administrator for the Office of Security Operations at the Transportation Security Adminis-tration (TSA).
