What Hyperion does

Hyperion Inc. is a privately held, SBA-certified small business founded in 1991 and headquartered in Reston, Virginia, that delivers turnkey infrastructure solutions across three service lines — Communications, Security, and Energy — to U.S. federal agencies and select commercial clients worldwide. Its Communications practice spans in-building wired and wireless networks, distributed antenna systems (DAS), and mobile/vessel cellular enhancement delivered through partnerships with providers such as Nextivity; its Security practice centers on Verkada-based cloud-managed cameras with facial recognition, license plate readers, and 360-degree viewing; its Energy practice designs and installs commercial-scale photovoltaic systems, LED lighting retrofits, and EV charging stations using equipment from Axitec, SMA, SolarEdge, Fronius, and SEPCO. Underlying these service lines is an Engineering, Furnish, Install, Test (EFI&T) model executed by more than 60 in-house, state-licensed electricians and data technicians, supporting the full lifecycle from design through long-tail maintenance.

Hyperion monetizes almost entirely as a government prime contractor, leveraging positions on RS3 (Responsive Strategic Sourcing for Services, $37.4B ceiling), ITES-3S ($12.1B ceiling under Contract #W52P1J-18-D-A033), NASA SEWP V (Contract NNG15SE07B through September 30, 2026), GSA Multiple Award Schedule, and SeaPort-NxG, which together enable direct, decentralized ordering by federal buyers. Commercial revenue comes from a smaller set of enterprise energy and security projects and is reinforced through partners such as One Degree Energy for financing and Tetra Tech for engineering co-development. Marquee engagements include a 10-year master contract as IBM's sole delivery partner on the Defense Commissary Agency's Customer Automated Retail Transaction System (CARTS) program — covering 280+ military commissaries across the U.S., Europe, the Pacific, and the Middle East — and a 2.8 MW DC photovoltaic installation at Safe Harbor Marinas' Lauderdale Marine Center in Florida.

The company is a division of Hyperion International Holding Company, LLC and operates a wholly owned European subsidiary, Deutsche Hyperion, GmbH. Both founders, Paul Milo Jr. and George Tyson, have passed away (2016 and 2023 respectively); Scott Milo, son of the co-founder, currently serves as President alongside long-tenured Vice President David Ruesch (since 1996) and a small senior leadership team. Hyperion pursues further work through organic task-order capture on its contract vehicles rather than via institutional capital or acquisitions, making long-tenured program execution and contract-vehicle renewal the central operating risks.
