UROK Logistics is awarded SDVBE Certification, Demonstrating Commitment to Veteran-Owned Business Excellence Bristol CT — August 9th — UROK Logistics, a Veteran owned freight brokerage specializing in comprehensive logistics solutions, is proud to announce that it has earned the exclusive designation as a Certified Service Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise™ (SDVBE) from the National Veteran Owned Business Association. To be eligible for the designation as NaVOBA Certified SDVBE™, the applicant firm must be at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by one or more U.S. military veterans. At its core certification is a protection for both veteran-owned businesses as well as the corporations and organizations that do business with them. "People can easily say 'I'm a veteran-owned business' when they really aren't," NaVOBA President Matthew Pavelek said. "Corporations will not risk the accuracy of their Supplier Diversity spending goals by recording spending on contracts with firms that say they are owned by veterans if they aren't absolutely certain of the ownership, operation and control of that firm. Working with a third-party nonprofit organization like NaVOBA and its VBE certification program provides that certainty." "We are honored to receive the SDVBE certification," said Andrew Frank, President of UROK Logistics. "This certification is a testament to our commitment to excellence and just the beginning of our support for the veteran community." This is an important milestone for our company and a validation of our efforts to provide exceptional service while upholding the values of integrity and dedication." As a certified SDVBE, UROK Logistics is now positioned to offer its services to a broader range of clients, including government agencies and organizations seeking to partner with veteran-owned businesses. The SDVBE certification also opens up new opportunities for UROK Logistics to contribute to initiatives aimed at supporting veteran entrepreneurs and enhancing their economic impact. By leveraging its veteran-led perspective, the company is committed to fostering an inclusive business environment and advocating for policies that benefit the broader veteran communities.
