Invictus International Consulting

What Invictus International Consulting does

Invictus International Consulting is a U.S. federal government contractor providing full-spectrum cyber, applied research, and enterprise modernization services to the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and federal civilian agencies. Founded in August 2014 in Alexandria, Virginia by military veterans as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), the company operates from a single headquarters with personnel deployed across 14 states and 3 countries, and over 60% of its workforce is composed of veterans. Invictus's portfolio spans seven core service lines: Cyber Operations and Engineering (red team, detection, response, recovery, training), Applied Cyber Research and Development conducted at its in-house Cyber Lab, Cloud Security and Application Modernization (AWS-native, including a Cross Domain Solution object transfer service processing 80TB+ per day), Zero Trust architecture, Threat Analysis and Vulnerability Research, Program Management and Technical Assistance, and Infrastructure Engineering and Modernization (including a Navy 'Cabinet-for-Life' combat systems refresh strategy). It also develops, deploys, and sustains the DoD's primary cyber modeling, simulation, and training environment (PCTE), integrating gaming-industry techniques for cyber warfare rehearsal.

The company earns revenue almost exclusively through U.S. federal government contracts, primarily as a prime contractor on multi-agency IDIQ vehicles including Agile Cyber Technology 2 (up to $950M shared ceiling) and 3 (ACT3), Solutions for the Information Technology Enterprise III (SITE III), and Solutions for Intelligence Analysis 3 (SIA3), and through direct awards to defense, intelligence, and federal civilian customers such as the Air Force, Navy, Marine Forces Cyberspace Command, Defense Intelligence Agency, FAA, VA, IRS, and State of California. Pricing is contract-based, multi-year, and not publicly disclosed. The company reports growing from approximately $40M in 2018 to over $250M in annual revenue in 2024, and in December 2025 was acquired by Red River, under which Invictus now operates as Red River's government services business unit with an AI, cloud, and procurement platform layered onto its cyber and mission-IT portfolio.
