Strategic Communications

What Strategic Communications does

Strategic Communications, LLC is a privately held, Woman- and Minority-Owned Small Business headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, founded in 1996, that functions as an IT systems integrator and AV solutions provider to the U.S. public sector. The firm sells hardware, software, cloud, cybersecurity, collaboration, and professional services to federal, state, local, education, healthcare, and Justice & Public Safety buyers, with named federal customers including HHS, USDA, DHA, DLA, and HUD. It operates almost exclusively through long-duration government-wide acquisition contracts — GSA MAS (2019-2039), NASA SEWP V (2015-2027), NASPO ValuePoint across 17+ states (2016-2026), Army CHESS ITES-4H (2025-2030), ITES-SW2, ADMC-3, and Sourcewell — making its go-to-market a contract-vehicle-driven enterprise field-sales motion supported by a Partner Alliance Community for channel distribution. Underlying technology is a hybrid IT integration stack built on top-tier OEM partner tiers (Cisco Gold, AWS Advanced Consulting with Government Competency, Oracle Gold, Dell Gold, Crestron Elite, Biamp) rather than proprietary platforms, with the JPS TRUST sub-brand packaging a five-year lifecycle methodology for CJIS/FedRAMP-compliant Justice & Public Safety deployments. Revenue mechanics blend one-time product/hardware resale with recurring managed cloud services and project-based professional services; pricing is quote-based through contract vehicles and is not publicly disclosed. The firm has appeared on the CRN Solution Provider 500 for nine consecutive years (ranked #204 in 2026) and currently employs 11-50 people.
