American Marine and Technical Services, LLC (AMTS) received 8(a) status in November 2017.  In 2018 we submitted a Mentor Protégé Application between AMTS and Rhoads Industries.  We are currently waiting on the SBA for approval on the application.  Unfortunately, the SBA has been short staffed since 2017 and we have had three change-overs in our BOS (Business Opportunity Specialists) over the last year.  In addition to the staff shortage, the SBA was closed during the government shutdown.  For these reasons we have had some delays in getting going.

We are still working on the AMTS website.  There is no reason to put it up and start marketing until we have all of our SBA applications and agreements approved.  Once we get approval, we will be making the website go live and will start seeking out contracts in conjunction with Rhoads Industries, our Mentor.
