Solvet wins 2021 Louisiana Contractor of the Year award from LA-PTAC

Solvet's Staffing Success for VA Medical Centers

Solvet, owned and operated by service-connected disabled veteran Mr. Jared Sere', became a client of the Louisiana Procurement Technical Assistance Center (LA- PTAC) in April of 2018. In May of 2018, Jared began his quest to become verified as a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) through Veterans Affairs (VA), Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE), working closely with his LA PTAC counselor, Jane Kulick. Solvet received its verification as SDVOSB on December 3, 2018.Solvet Services' initial focus was on selling medical supplies and support services, with a concentration on durable medical equipment and home respiratory therapy. Just prior to the pandemic of COVID-19, Solvet had begun to shift some focus into the clinical staffing arena and had submitted a handful of proposals for that type of work. As New Orleans became one of the primary hotspots for the virus early on, and with Solvet’s close proximity and eligibility to provide the desperately needed nursing and therapy staff in that particular market, Solvet was in position to fulfill each contract that the firm competed for in April of 2020. As a result of the prompt 100% fulfillment in a particularly difficult marketplace, Solvet was an attractive veteran-owned small business vendor for government and commercial buyers in need of front line staff, and continued to land other contracts in other states for other VA Medical Centers.Along with the staffing services that the entire healthcare industry was clamoring for with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, Solvet shifted its other resources to another crowded area of concentration - supplying critical medical supplies and PPE to various federal, state and local buying agencies including, but not limited to, hand sanitizer, nitrile gloves, N95 masks, disposable masks and gowns, etc.

Due to his extensive experience as a healthcare executive, and many valued relationships from supporting partners and vendors, Mr. Seré was able to capitalize on what was an extremely difficult year for so many. Solvet grew by more than 1,000% in 2020, and stands to triple that total revenue number in 2021.
