The company operates almost entirely through government contract vehicles, holding primes on GSA OASIS+ (47QRCA25DSA24), DLA J6 JETS 2.0 with all 12 task areas and a 10-year ordering period to October 20, 2034, 8(a) STARS III (47QTCB22D0258) with a $50B ceiling, GSA MAS (GS35F241CA), FAA eFAST (693KA918A00228), and SEC OneIT (50310220D0011) plus state vehicles including Washington DES-16322 and Texas DIR CPO-5524 and CPO-5907 and approximately 24 state/local Master Service Contracts spanning 27 states.

Certifications include CMMI Development Level 3 plus ISO 9001:2015, 14001:2015, 20000-1:2018, and 27001:2022. Named federal customers include the Departments of the Air Force, Army, Navy, Defense Human Resource Activity, Commerce, Energy, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Justice, Veterans Affairs, the EPA, the FAA, the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Secret Service, and the SEC.
