A CRG & Aalis Joint Venture · SBA Mentor-Protégé Program
Unified Mission.
Expanded Capability.
Aalis Resources Group (ARG) is the SBA Mentor-Protégé joint venture of Contracting Resources Group and Aalis Management Consulting, delivering integrated professional services across the full spectrum of federal government needs.
Two Trusted Firms.
One Powerful Team.
Aalis Resources Group is the joint venture of two of the federal government's most trusted small business contractors, each bringing a distinct and complementary set of capabilities into a single, unified delivery team.
CRG's two decades of excellence in program management, research, acquisition lifecycle, and strategic communications combine with Aalis's proven strengths in financial management, digital transformation, logistics, and supply chain to create an unmatched full-spectrum offering.
Both firms share core values rooted in service, integrity, and mission focus. Aalis was founded by a U.S. Army veteran, and CRG is deeply committed to hiring veterans and military spouses — a shared foundation that drives measurable results and lasting impact across every program we support.
Proven. Purpose-Built.
Founded in 2002, CRG is a woman-owned small business delivering mission-focused professional services to the DoD and civilian federal agencies. With CMMI Maturity Level 3 certification, membership in the DoD Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP), and seven consecutive years as a U.S. Department of Labor HIRE Vets Medallion Award recipient — including the 2025 Platinum Medallion — plus positions on GSA OASIS+, MDA SHIELD, Army EXPRESS BPA, and more, CRG brings institutional credibility and deep acquisition expertise.
Founded in 2017 by a U.S. Army veteran, Aalis is an 8(a), SDVOSB, and EDWOSB contractor serving DoD and civilian agencies across program management, financial management, logistics, IT modernization, and U.S. Trade. A two-time Inc. 5000 honoree and recognized Best Workplace, Aalis brings dynamism and veteran-focused talent pipelines. Led by CEO Ebony Wilkins.
