Markon

What Markon does

Markon is a U.S. federal government professional services firm headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, specializing in full-spectrum cyber operations, digital transformation, and critical intelligence solutions for the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and federal civilian agencies. The company's core service offerings are organized around three capability areas — Full-Spectrum Cyber (integrated defensive operations, threat analysis, red team assessments, and training), Digital Transformation (enterprise architecture modernization, secure software delivery, cloud, and automation), and Critical Intelligence Solutions (operational leadership, infrastructure alignment, and process engineering for national security missions). Markon maintains a proprietary technology portfolio including the Hydra modular edge compute platform for disconnected operations, the HyPER persistent cyber training platform, and TECTIX for automated RMF compliance with native eMASS integration; the K>fivefour NSA-certified Red Team training program was added through the February 2026 acquisition of Millennium Corporation. The firm employs 950+ team members pre-Millennium and over 1,000 post-acquisition, with 92% holding top secret clearances or higher and 1,000+ industry-recognized certifications held across the workforce.

Markon generates revenue exclusively through federal government professional services contracts, delivered via direct awards and government-wide acquisition vehicles including GSA OASIS+ (across SB, VO, and UR pools) and GSA MAS schedules held independently by Markon, PLEX, and Millennium. Notable contract awards include $60M for Washington Headquarters Services construction management at the Pentagon Reservation, $166M for Department of State engineering on the U.S. Embassy Chancery in Manila, advisory work on the U.S. Coast Guard's $10B National Security Cutter procurement, and integrated logistics support for Marine Corps Systems Command that avoided more than $100M in costs. Cyber and technology services now represent more than half of revenue following the December 2025 PLEX and February 2026 Millennium acquisitions. The customer base spans U.S. Cyber Command, Army Materiel Command, the Air Force, the Marine Corps, the Intelligence Community, the Department of State, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and prime contractors including General Dynamics. The company is privately held by Sterling Investment Partners, which has backed an aggressive roll-up acquisition strategy beginning in July 2024.
