UMA Geotechnical Earns SDVOSB, NC HUB Designations
North Carolina Firm Founded by Navy Veteran
North Carolina-based contractor UMA Geotechnical Construction announced its designation as both a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and North Carolina Historically Underutilized Business (HUB). The designations go to small businesses with 51 percent or more ownership by a veteran disabled while on active duty.
“I was delighted with the process because certification means we’ve met some very high standards,” says founder and CEO Jim DeSpain. “It makes me extremely proud to be part of this fantastic group of veterans who are running and operating businesses regardless of disability. It is my honor to be among them.”
