Perfect for Contractors Growing Into Compliance
Many Tinker AFB contractors start small, then realize they need AFOSH and federal facility compliance. Rather than hiring a full-time person immediately, start with the Maintenance tier COOP program. As you grow, upgrade to the Partner Program tier for more on-site support. Later, if you prefer an in-house team, you'll have documented compliance practices and trained management ready for transition.
