The Mighty Smalls: Celebrating National Small Business Week with Purpose and Performance

May 9, 2025

During National Small Business Week, we honor the inspiration, innovation, and impact of America’s 34.7 million small businesses—especially the companies we work alongside every day to improve outcomes for our nation’s most essential digital services and systems.  

This week reminds us why we lead with purpose to deliver excellence and what makes it possible for us to embrace challenges others shy away from. 

Delivering Big Value Through Small Business Agility 

As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), IronArch has the ability to move quickly, innovate boldly, and deliver measurable outcomes that make a real difference for our government clients. Whether we’re pioneering accessible technology solutions, automating government workflows, or designing scalable AI-driven solutions, our agility is one of our greatest strengths. 

This isn’t just our perspective—it’s also recognized by our federal government partners. As the U.S. Small Business Administration recently shared: 
 

“Small businesses bring flexibility and fresh thinking to the federal space, helping government programs achieve their goals with efficiency and ingenuity.” 
—U.S. Small Business Administration, 2025 Small Business Week Press Briefing 

Fahima Vakalia, VP of Growth at IronArch, says, “At IronArch, being a small business isn’t a limitation—it’s a competitive advantage. It means we embed urgency, accountability, and innovation into everything we do. Our teams think holistically, operate leanly, and solve problems that others overlook or can’t move quickly to implement. We don’t just show up to deliver—we show up to lead.” 

What Sets Us Apart 

Veteran-led problem solving: With more than 40% of our workforce composed of veterans and military spouses, our teams understand the mission firsthand—especially at the Department of Defense (DoD), Veterans Affairs (VA), and federal civilian agencies. 

Proven performance: In addition to providing cloud migration and ServiceNow support for 13 years, our team has worked to improve the performance and capacity of VA’s 508 Accessibility Scanning program. As the managing member of the MPJV Peregrine Digital Services, IronArch is also innovating with Ad Hoc to bolster VA’s Resilient Improvements to Systems and Experience (RISE) program and helping VA better support transitioning servicemembers through VA.gov Transition Experience. 

Built-in compliance and security: From FedRAMP readiness to CMMI Level 3 and ISO-certified practices, we deliver secure, scalable solutions—faster. 

Looking Ahead 

As federal agencies continue modernizing and responding to evolving priorities like the recent Executive Order on commercial software, IronArch stands ready to bring big results through our small business spirit. We’re proud to support missions that matter and to champion the incredible impact that SDVOSBs like ours deliver across government.
