Miami, Florida Feb 5, 2026  – Reliance Contractors Inc., a leading provider of integrated contracting and facility support services, is pleased to announce it has been chosen as a recipient of the Verizon Small Business Digital Ready Grant. The grant is awarded via a highly competitive national initiative aimed at supporting high-potential organizations that exhibit operational excellence, scalability, and long-term growth readiness. This acknowledgment underscores Reliance Contractors’ ongoing dedication to disciplined operations, sustainable growth, and providing reliable services across its nationwide portfolio.

The selection places Reliance among a select cohort of businesses nationwide recognized by Verizon for their capacity to leverage digital systems, workforce infrastructure, and operational innovation to drive sustainable performance and expand capacity.

The Verizon Small Business Digital Ready program is part of Verizon’s wider national commitment to bolstering America’s small business ecosystem and supply chain resilience through long-term investments in technology enablement, workforce development, and operational modernization. The program is run in partnership with the nonprofit Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) and supports businesses that demonstrate strong performance, disciplined operations, and meaningful economic and community impact.

“Small businesses are the backbone of our communities, and this grant from Verizon validates the work we do daily to build something stable, ethical, and enduring,” said Erika Lennis, Director of Finance. “We’re extremely grateful for the chance to grow intentionally and keep supporting both our team and our clients.”

“Being chosen by Verizon through this nationally recognized program is a strong validation of the systems, people, and performance standards we’ve established at Reliance,” said Joshua Becker, Director of Operations. “This recognition reflects not only our current standing but also our future direction— as a growth-ready, nationally competitive organization investing in the infrastructure needed to scale with excellence.”

National Footprint and Federal-Level Performance

Reliance’s selection comes as the company continues to expand its global presence across federal, commercial, and institutional markets. Reliance currently has over 150 federal projects nationwide and has successfully completed more than 600 projects in its history, with active and finished work spanning:

– The contiguous United States

– Alaska and Hawaii

– Puerto Rico

– The U.S. Virgin Islands

– Mexico

This global footprint reflects Reliance’s ability to deliver consistent performance across diverse geographies, regulatory landscapes, and operational conditions— a capability that positions the company as a trusted partner for complex, multi-site programs.

“Our footprint shows that Reliance isn’t a local contractor— we operate on a global scale,” Becker added. “From remote areas to critical federal facilities, our teams are trusted to deliver with precision, accountability, and operational discipline.”

Strategic Focus on Technology, Workforce, and Scalable Systems

Through the Verizon Small Business Digital Ready program, Reliance will keep strengthening the digital and operational foundation that supports its nationwide operations, with a focus on:

– Advanced operational systems and workflow optimization

– Digital tools that boost service delivery, transparency, and reporting

– Workforce empowerment, training, and performance infrastructure

– Scalable business systems that support sustained national growth

This strategic investment reinforces Reliance’s long-term vision to build a modern, system-driven organization that combines technology, human capital, and operational excellence.

“This program aligns perfectly with our goals— building a company that’s structurally ready to operate at national scale,” Becker said. “It speeds up our ability to modernize, optimize, and lead with best-in-class systems across every market we serve.”

Positioned for National Partnerships and Long-Term Expansion

Reliance’s inclusion in Verizon’s Small Business Digital Ready ecosystem aligns the company with a broader national strategy focused on strengthening supply chains, empowering workforce development, and elevating high-performing organizations as trusted partners to enterprise and government clients.

“This recognition further indicates that Reliance operates at a level that meets the standards of major national organizations,” Becker said. “It boosts our credibility as a scalable, forward-thinking partner and strengthens our platform for ongoing expansion across federal and commercial markets.”
