SUCCESS STORY:  Johnson's Services, Incorporated

By Kenneth Griffin, Jr. and Kim Magee 

As a result of various e-mails, zoom calls and multiple attempts to satisfy the CAGE Response requirement between Arkansas APEX Accelerator Procurement Counselor Kenneth Griffin and Johnson’s Services, Inc. owner Kathy Johnson, CAGE took the issue under advisement and offered a resolution the SAME day.  Johnson’s Services Incorporated will now be able to perform the required monitoring, and the Corp of Engineers will be able to initiate payment. Johnson expressed gratitude as the CAGE Code will not only satisfy the requirement for The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers but could also help Johnson Incorporated Services obtain future business with clients in the government marketplace.
