MILWAUKEE, WI. -- Professional Placement Services, L.L.C., a Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) and Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) has announced the company is seeking to establish HUBZone/WOSB subcontracts on the U.S. Department of Education's (ED) Next Generation Servicing Environment contract.  Ms. Irina Johnson, President of the company says, "We're very excited to offer our HUBZone and WOSB small business status to help companies submitting NextGen bids. "By including PPS and our socioeconomic status", says Irina, "bidders will receive ‘highly rated’ evaluation scores on their Small Business Participation Plan (SBPP), a major RFP evaluation factor."
