OUR JOURNEY & MISSION
Since our inception, SSHF has evolved from a specialized service provider into a promising entity in federal contracting. Our journey began when HORNE LLP contracted Service Specialists as a staffing subcontractor. Building on this successful collaboration, HORNE Federal was created, focusing on handling federal dollars for state-funded contracts. To further strengthen our capabilities, the Mentor-Protégé Program (MPP) was established. This partnership has allowed us to achieve significant milestones, reflecting our commitment to excellence, innovation, and responsive service delivery in the Federal space.
