BBB CODE OF ADVERTISING CONCERN:The Basic Principles section of the BBB Code of Advertising states that - 1.1 The primary responsibility for truthful and non-deceptive advertising rests with the advertiser. Advertisers should be prepared to substantiate any objective claims or offers made before publication or broadcast. Upon request, they should present such substantiation promptly to the advertising medium or BBB.
1.2 Advertisements which are untrue, misleading, deceptive, fraudulent, falsely disparaging of competitors, or insincere offers to sell, shall not be used.
1.3 An advertisement as a whole may be misleading by implication, although every sentence separately considered may be literally true.
WHY BBB HAS THIS CONCERN: BBB of Greater Maryland was recently made aware of Government action taken against the business. The related Department of Justice release indicated that "Since 2011, Vigil Contracting has not been eligible to bid for contracts reserved for 8(a) Program participants" defined as economically disadvantaged small businesses.

BBB recommended that the business modify the website in order to remove claims related to a small disadvantaged business status in order to limit confusion.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.
