Omniplan, whose chief executive is Ralph Montijo, provides personnel supply services and management consulting to military bases.

Montijo started the company in 1971 with $10,000 and three employees. His company now generates more than $12.8 million in annual sales and has 37 employees, officials said.

The Small Business Administration’s program began in 1968 and has supervised $15 billion in government contract work by more than 6,000 minority-owned companies, officials said.
