Federal Government changes rules of the Game!
It's a Divine New World!

MALIBU, Calif. - April 20, 2020 - PRLog -- Defense Contractor Takes Polar Bear Plunge To Awaken to New Reality!

Defense Contractor Kim Devane (niece of actor William Devane), owner of Divine Imaging Inc. headquartered in Malibu, CA celebrated her birthday April 14th by taking a polar bear plunge in Bandon, Oregon to awaken to the new reality of working remote.

We are mostly filling open market orders for PP&E merchandise.  Finally, access to  Masks, Sanitizer, Gowns and Gloves has slowly opened up--- but the sick, twisted irony is they are mostly coming from China!

The federal government has clearly had to adapt too!!  The GSA Senior Procurement Executive (SPE) Class Determinations and Findings are temporarily allowing the procurement of non-TAA compliant products under FSS contracts to support Covid-19 response.  Before Covid-19 if you ended up accidentally selling Non-Compliant products through your GSA Schedule you run the risk of being charged with hefty fines that could go as high as $1 million (or more), or significant penalties such as having your entire contract revoked and being charged with a crime via the False Claims Act."

Divine does know a little about this.... WE were fined almost $2 million dollars over 15 years for accidentally selling Chinese pencils!

It's a Divine New World now!

Divine Imaging is a recent awardee of the 2GIT $5.5 billion dollar technology contract administered through the General Services Administration--GSA. But that contract is clearly NOT producing right now!!

"WE are not selling a ton of technology right now. We are mostly filling orders for PP&E merchandise to federal agencies and hospitals, Military- Army, Navy Airforce, Marines, Coast Guard, DHS via DoD Fedmall and GSAAdvantage.  It has not been an interesting adaptation to keep the company afloat."

Thanks to Notre Dame graduate  and Chief of Operations  & Technology superhero Hank Williams,  Divine is patched together with "duck tape and bailing wire"  for a quick fix. Our systems and operations were not built to work remote.

Our goal is to keep a paycheck going out to our loyal Team. At Divine we are scrappers, underdogs-- a combination of people representing every diverse background-- but we come together and get shit done!

Divine is a small, woman-owned company in business for 20 years and has submitted their Payment Protection Program loan (PPP) Application through Bank of America. We are the face of every small business in the United States of America. We will survive, we will persevere... but yeah we needed an ice cold ocean plunge to shock us into our NEW REALITY!!!!
