Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB). Front Range Marking is led and 100% owned by Joshua Hickman, a United States Marine Corps Veteran.
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). Certification is pending with the SBA's Veteran Small Business Certification (VetCert) program. The About page documents the principal's service record as control-and-management evidence.
Small Business. Sole-principal small business well below the size standards for NAICS 323111.

Contract vehicles
Front Range Marking is open to:
- Open-market purchases via SAM-registered vendor entry — PO, purchase card, or check
- Subcontracting and teaming with primes who need a Class 1 IUID label sub-supplier
- Sole-source set-aside awards under FAR 19.14 (SDVOSB) once VetCert issues, where the procurement justifies sole-source treatment
- GSA MAS and other long-term vehicles — pursued to fit the buyer's procurement, rather than asking the buyer to fit a preset list
How to request a quote
Email joshua@frontrangemarking.com (the link opens a pre-filled template). Provide as much of the following as is available:
- Drawing or marked-up specification — PDF preferred; include label dimensions, content (UII / part number / serial), and symbology if specified
- Substrate — if a specific Zebra family is required (e.g., Z-Supreme polyimide for PCB), name it; otherwise FRM will recommend
- Quantity — a single label is acceptable; there is no minimum
- Required delivery date and ship-to
- Standards reference — e.g., MIL-STD-130N, MIL-STD-129R, agency-specific spec, or contract clause
- Verification scope — whether documented ISO/IEC 15415 grade-B verification is required
- Funding mechanism — PO, GPC (purchase card), check, or other
Quote turnaround: typically within one business day. For materials already in stock (Z-Ultimate 4000T white matte), production lead time is on the order of days from PO. Materials sourced on order add the distributor's shipping window (typically 1–3 business days from The ZPS Store).
Documents available on request
- Capability statement (PDF, one-page)
- SAM.gov registration confirmation
- W-9
- Equipment and consumables documentation (Zebra ZD420t spec sheet, Z-Ultimate 4000T spec sheet, Zebra 5095 resin ribbon spec sheet)
- Sample label on the substrate of the buyer's choice (subject to substrate stock and buyer mailing address)
- VetCert SDVOSB application receipt (in lieu of certificate, until issuance)
