Success Story – Freight Freedom Wins with US ARMY

Lida Hakobyan Tabolich is the Owner of Freight Freedom, LLC which specializes in moving military freight, construction materials, building supplies, machinery, and anything in between. As a client of SC APEX Accelerator, Lida took advantage of our no-cost services including on-demand and virtual trainings, and meeting with procurement counselor, Angela Seymour. One-on-one sessions with their counselor including reviewing and updating their capability statement, preparing for elevator pitches and capability briefings, updating their DSBS profile, and conducting market research. Angela Seymour also shared opportunities within the company’s wheelhouse to include federal certification information as well as prime and subcontracting outreach. With the assistance of their procurement counselor, Lida was able to apply for the SCDOT DBE certification and begin certifying as a Women-Owned Small Business and 8(a) Disadvantaged Business. During this time, Lida continued to submit for opportunities which led to an award from the US ARMY.
