Lima Charlie Inc. has carved out a unique niche in the highly competitive government contracting space. Founded during the pandemic, this service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) has developed a completely remote, cloud-based model to provide expert government relations services to federal agencies and local municipalities.
Led by CEO David Waldbauer, a service-disabled veteran, Lima Charlie is known for its quality of management, which is well-organized, agile, detail-oriented, and focused on simplicity. These core strengths allow the firm to consistently deliver positive client experiences, reduce risk, and optimize costs.
“I didn’t want to be bound by an office,” Waldbauer explains. “Since the beginning, I wanted to work on the business, not just in it.” This innovative, remote-first approach has enabled Lima Charlie to navigate the complex government contracting processes with skill and knowledge, ensuring optimal outcomes for their public sector clients.
On the private side, Lima Charlie is involved at virtually any stage of a project, driving greater efficiency throughout the life cycle. The firm is the only business in California’s Central Valley with a GSA IT contract, giving it a distinct regional advantage.
In addition to its government relations expertise, Lima Charlie is dedicated to employing veterans, service-disabled veterans, spouses of veterans, and student veterans. As an SDVOSB, Waldbauer deeply respects those who have served our country and is proud to provide them with meaningful employment opportunities.
“Bob and the SBDC are an integral part of my team,” says Waldbauer. “They are there when I hit a roadblock or need to bounce a couple ideas off. I could show enough appreciation or gratitude for their support and resources. Thank you.”
