Solvet Services, owned and operated by veteran Jared Sere' has been selected to receive the 2021 Louisiana Contractor of the Year Award from the Louisiana Procurement Technical Assistance Center.
“I am humbled and honored that the growth and success we experienced in 2020 was noticed by the LA PTAC and the State of Louisiana. Winning this award means a great deal to Solvet, and not just for the public recognition and positive press that it brings, but because it has allowed us to stop and reflect on the journey from a small, start-up business in 2018 to now becoming the recipient of this award. This award validates the hard work and sacrifice Solvet’s partners, staff, and entire support system has poured into our company from day one, which provides us with extra motivation to continue on our upward trend moving forward.”

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.
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.
Solvet Services has over 70 years of combined healthcare experience within so many of the major environments of care which indicates the true understanding of the challenges faced by all stakeholders throughout their healthcare continuum. Starting with veterans and patients in need and all who care for them clinically and support them administratively, the team at Solvet aims to become true valued partners with all its supplier partners, as well as government clientele. This is to ensure that we can strategize on executing long term solutions, as opposed to the transactional relationships commonly seen in healthcare.
