2003 News

In October of 2003, Data Dash purchased 802 Progress Drive, Farmington, MO 63640. We hired Sandfuss Contruction to completely remodel and build us a clean room for payment processing. We had Roberts Alarm out to install a new security system, including smoke sensors, motion detectors and door sensors. We installed our own security cameras and monitoring unit. Everything was completed in Data Dash record time and we moved in to our beautiful new facility the weekend of December 14th. We were up and running Monday morning and none of our customers experienced any downtime. All Data Dash employees love the new facility.

      

Data Dash, Inc. has been awarded a HUBZone Technology Services Contract by the U. S. General Services Administration. The contract has a two year term with three one year option periods and is valued at approximately $2.5 Billion. Data Dash is one of only 34 companies nation-wide to be awarded the contract under the HUBZone program and is the only company located in the Midwest. "This contract will allow us to create more jobs and continue to expand our Farmington facility. We'll also be looking at other locations in the Midwest for expansion of our technical services." said Data Dash President Susan Morton.

The HUBZone (Historically Underutilized Business Zone) Contracting Program was enacted into law as part of the Small Business Reauthorization Act of 1997. The program falls under the auspices of the U.S. Small Business Administration. The program encourages economic development in historically underutilized areas of the country. In 2003, the Government's goal is to place 3% of all procurements with HUBZone firms.

Data Dash Incorporated, headquartered in St. Louis, MO was founded in 1991 by Susan Morton. The company has grown from a 3-person data entry service bureau to 70+ employees, offering data entry and scanning services, document imaging and electronic records managements, and specialized IT staffing services to private industry, federal, state and local government. Dash opened its Farmington office (qualifying for HUBZone status) in 1999.
