Guides for Texas IT Buyers
These guides explain how Liberty ChainGuard Consulting LLC reads a Texas IT buy: CMBL and informal quotes, the difference between an SBA VOSB and an SBA SDVOSB, commercial Fortinet quoting, vendor-neutral comparisons, and a first pass on AI intake for city halls. They are written for purchasing staff, IT managers, and small-business owners. They are not a past-performance list.
LCG was established in 2025 in Ingleside, Texas, and is building past performance with documented quotes. Contract awards and customer names appear only after the work is real. Channel status matches the sourcing channels page.
