In June 2019, Molière was awarded the Gordon H. Mansfield Award by The National Veteran Small Business Coalition (NVSBC). This award commemorates this great American and his passionate veteran small business advocacy by recognizing one veteran small business owner each year who successfully owns and operates a successful small business, provides employment opportunities to veterans and who, like Gordon Mansfield in his most selfless manner, gives back to the veteran community in a substantial and continuous way. The awardee must demonstrate that they have paid the price, produced, perhaps against the odds, sustained achievement that has required courage, vision, and the ability to make tough choices through determined perseverance and hard work. In addition, the awardee must demonstrate sustained employment opportunities for veterans and have devoted themselves to sustained and selfless voluntary service to help other veterans.

One of his first pathfinding initiatives resulting in receipt of the first services only GSA IT Schedule 70 in July 1996 after re-writing the RFP for GSA on a pro-bono basis and submitting a response. The results of this has been over $5 Billion in services only (SIN132-51) since 2010. Another of Molière’s initiatives resulted in white paper he developed and presented to the OFPP which was the genesis of the VETS GWAC and made part of Executive Order 13-360. In 2004, an independent panel of judges chose John Molière for the FEDERAL 100 Award. This award is granted to the top executives from government, industry and academia that had the greatest impact on the government information systems community. Molière was chosen because of the difference he made for his work on behalf of Service-Disabled Veteran Entrepreneurs in the way agencies and companies develop, acquire, manage and use information technology.
