What ICR does

ICR, Inc. is a privately held, employee-owned engineering and operational services firm headquartered in Aurora, Colorado, that exclusively serves the U.S. Intelligence and Defense Communities. Founded in 2014 and operating as a Veteran-Owned Small Business, the company delivers hands-on engineering, analytical, and operational solutions for what it describes as its customers' toughest technical problems, combining advanced academic credentials with field-tested practitioner experience and an R&D-focused engagement model. ICR positions itself as a "true partnership" provider whose personnel integrate with customer mission teams rather than delivering commoditized services.

The company does not sell a discrete software product; instead, its offering is professional services and consulting engagements scoped to individual customer requirements and quoted on a custom basis. Its go-to-market is direct, relationship-driven engagement with Intelligence and Defense Community program offices, leveraging Veteran-Owned Small Business status and an employee-ownership structure that grants every employee equity plus a 25% retirement contribution and a 25% Individual Benefits Account. There are no publicly disclosed customers, contract values, revenue figures, funding rounds, or partner ecosystem, and the company is actively recruiting cleared Analysts and Engineers across at least 11 U.S. metro areas.

Operationally, ICR's headquarters sits at 6200 S Main St, Suite 200, Aurora, CO, with distributed cleared delivery staffed across Colorado, Ohio, California, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, Florida, and New York. Headcount is reported at 251-500 employees, the legal entity is incorporated in Colorado, and there are no disclosed subsidiaries, parent companies, M&A activity, or external capital raises. All visible growth to date has been organic and contract-funded.
