This strong performance on the ITS74 contract was demonstrated by letters of recommendations from Commonwealth clients, overall usage of the ITS74 contract by the Commonwealth with Gnar over the last 5 years, and Gnar's spend of over 18.5% of contracted value with Massachusetts SDP (Supplier Diversity Program) certified suppliers over the last 5 years. SDP suppliers include Women-Owned Enterprises (WBE), Veteran- Minority-Owned Enterprises (MBE), and Minority-Owned Business Enterprises (MBEs). The Gnar is truly excited to continue to partner with the Commonwealth to design and build great software.
