What Mobius Consulting does

Mobius Consulting, LLC is a privately held, SBA HUBZone-certified and Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) founded in 2011 by Frank and Melaine Privitera, headquartered in Alexandria, VA with a technical operations office in Huntsville, AL. The firm delivers engineering, technical, advisory, analytic, and programmatic expertise to U.S. federal defense and intelligence customers, with a service portfolio of nine interconnected capabilities — Systems Engineering, Modeling and Simulation, Test and Evaluation, Program Management, Operations and Logistics, Organizational Strategy, Counter Insider Threat (CInT) and Program Security, Cybersecurity, and Intelligence Analysis — plus a corporate social-responsibility sub-brand, Mobius Social Systems. The company specializes in space and missile defense systems, sensors, radars, directed energy, weapons system integration, and acquisition management, with proprietary modeling and simulation tooling developed through its Mentor-Protégé engagement with Parsons Corporation.

Mobius operates as a federal professional services firm, generating revenue through competitive contract awards under cost-plus, firm-fixed-price, and time-and-materials arrangements with agencies including the Missile Defense Agency, U.S. Space Force/Space Development Agency, and broader DoD customers. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for its quality management system, is CCPA-compliant for California applicants and employees, and has been recognized three times on the Inc. 5000 (2015, 2016, 2018), received the 2017 Nunn-Perry Award from the DoD Office of Small Business Programs, and earned Great Place to Work Certification with a 98% employee approval rating.

The go-to-market motion centers on direct federal contracting supplemented by the SBA-certified Mobius Parsons Solutions (MPS) joint venture, in which Mobius serves as the majority partner and which executed a $567 million MDA TEAMS-Next Systems Test Support award in July 2021 alongside a $64 million MDA Intelligence and Counter Insider Threat direct award. Past customers include MDA, U.S. Space Force/SDA, and additional DoD agencies accessed through the Mentor-Protégé program, with no commercial channel disclosed and all customers classified within the federal defense and intelligence vertical.
