What IT Concepts does

IT Concepts, Inc., now operating as Kentro following a January 2026 rebrand, is a privately-held U.S. federal government IT services contractor headquartered in Vienna, Virginia, with 501-1000 employees and a founding year of 2003. The company provides digital transformation services to U.S. federal civilian, national security, and federal health agencies, organized around five core solution areas: Infrastructure/Application Modernization, Data and AI, Human Capital, Cybersecurity, and Health Solutions. Underlying capabilities include AI/ML-enabled enterprise data management, HR digital transformation with automation and analytics, cyber threat navigation services, and clinical informatics support for federal health agencies.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and centered on federal procurement vehicles including GSA schedules, the CATTS contract, and the DIA SITE III contract, with direct engagement of federal agency decision-makers through RFP processes. Named customers include the Department of Veterans Affairs (anchored by a $665M IT support contract), the Department of Defense Defense Health Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Department of Commerce, and U.S. Special Operations Command. The company generates revenue primarily through multi-year professional services contracts, with pricing negotiated through federal procurement processes rather than published rate cards.

IT Concepts has no disclosed parent company, private equity backing, or venture investment, and operates as an independent mid-tier federal contractor. Leadership includes CEO Pinakin Patel, COO Tom Swerdzewski, CXO Bri Brodeur, and CSO Tom Fogarty. Recent strategic activity includes the 2026 corporate rebrand, technology partnership exploration with European secure access provider TSplus, and continued capture of multi-agency federal contract vehicles.
