AOC performs its federal contracts through one of its operating companies. Its operating companies are either wholly owned or special purpose LLC's AOC has formed (joint ventures) with other "small businesses" to bring special capabilities and experience to a market or federal project. SBA regulations encourage and approve of small businesses forming joint ventures with other small businesses. These regulations provide an exclusion of certain joint ventures from the normal "affiliation rules". Under this exclusion, small businesses may team together through teaming agreements, joint ventures, operating agreements or other means "without regard to affiliation" under certain circumstances.

AOC's business model is based on the SBA joint venture policy as explained above. As a small business, AOC has most, but not every functional capability required for each solicitation upon which AOC desires to bid. As acknowledged and encouraged by SBA regulations, AOC frequently forms joint ventures (Limited Liability Companies (LLC)) with other small businesses to present the government with a highly competitive offer. When one of these companies makes a proposal and a revenue limitation is specified by the NAICS code, the income test for each company is based on its share of ownership in the LLC.
