Dual Origin LLC's Core Capabilities:
- IT Hardware Procurement - Quality hardware sourcing, vendor management, government-compliant purchasing
- Software Procurement - License acquisition, compliance tracking, renewal management
- IT Asset Management (ITAM) - Complete lifecycle management from procurement to disposal
- Desktop & Endpoint Support - Comprehensive user support and device management
- IT Solutions & Services - Reliable IT services tailored to agency needs

Common Questions
Q: Do we need prior DIR contract experience?
A: No. VeAssis is the prime contractor and handles all DIR compliance, reporting, and government-facing requirements. Dual Origin focuses exclusively on technical delivery. We'll walk you through everything you need to know.
Q: How does our VetHUB certification benefit this partnership?
A: Dual Origin's VetHUB certification gives our team 27% VetHUB participation, exceeding DIR's 26% goal. Combined with our 100% DBE participation (VeAssis + Mavros), we have exceptional small business engagement that scores very well in evaluations. Your certification is literally what makes our bid competitive.
Q: Will we overlap with any other partner's work?
A: No. Dual Origin's scope is completely distinct: IT hardware/software procurement, ITAM, and desktop support. Mavros handles cloud and network. Drupal Connect handles web development. VeAssis handles help desk, AI, and program management. Clean separation, no internal competition.
Q: Are the revenue projections realistic?
A: DIR End-User IT Outsourcing did $27M in FY2025. If VeAssis captures just 3-5% of the market, Dual Origin's 27-28% share would be $360,000-$490,000+ per year. Our projections are conservative and assume only modest market capture.
Q: What about insurance requirements?
A: As prime contractor, VeAssis carries master insurance and bonding. Dual Origin should maintain standard business insurance (general liability, professional liability), but does not need the elevated government contract coverage that VeAssis carries.
Q: How quickly will work start after contract award?
A: Typically 30-60 days after award. VeAssis will actively market the contract to Texas agencies immediately. Year 1 is ramp-up, Years 2-5 are steady state with recurring engagements.
Q: Can we bring our own clients to the contract?
A: Yes! If you have existing relationships with Texas agencies, schools, or local governments, you can let them know about additional services available through VeAssis's DIR End-User IT Outsourcing contract. This expands your reach and accelerates revenue from Day 1.
Q: What if we already have other state or government contracts?
A: No conflict at all. You can hold your own independent contracts AND serve as a subcontractor on this DIR cooperative contract simultaneously. This simply adds a new revenue channel alongside your existing work.
