Strategic Teaming Partners

Monterey’s philosophy regarding the formulation of strategic teaming relationships has trust as its foundation. We seek partners with whom we establish and build upon mutual trust and respect as a primary objective. Monterey also focuses on teaming arrangements that will be beneficial to all parties, especially our customer. It is important that we identify synergistic business roles in each teaming relationship thereby avoiding or mitigating traveling down a competitive road. Another crucial aspect that Monterey values in teaming is the establishment of open and forthright communications throughout the team. Monterey makes an assessment of many variables pertaining to the formation of a teaming arrangement, this includes but not limited to: type of acquisition, teaming partner credentials (e.g., Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Woman-Owned, HUBZone, 8a, Large), number/type of available contract vehicles, and the targeted customer. Finally, our teaming relationships normally develop as a result of targeted business opportunities that all parties agree the team has excellent potential for being successful.
