What SOC does
SOC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Day & Zimmermann and a top-tier U.S. federal government contractor providing integrated mission-critical solutions across security, operations and maintenance, cleared staffing, and architecture and engineering. The company serves the Department of Defense, Department of Energy/NNSA, Department of State, and other federal agencies, with major contracts at nuclear weapons production facilities (Pantex Plant, Y-12 National Security Complex), strategic petroleum reserves, and global diplomatic missions across 170+ countries. Core service lines include protective force operations at nuclear sites, demilitarization of arms, ammunition, and explosives (80,000+ tons since 2010), tactical vehicle and aircraft maintenance repair and overhaul (certified AS 9110C and ISO 9001), canine cargo detection (DHS SAFETY Act Designated), architecture and engineering for secure facilities, and cleared IT and security staffing.
SOC operates through both direct prime contracts and joint ventures (notably PanTeXas Deterrence LLC and Nuclear Production One for DOE/NNSA M&O work) and has expanded into adjacent markets including correctional contraband detection via its SignalSecure platform and into Ukraine with logistics, security, and humanitarian support operations since 2022. Revenue is generated primarily through long-term managed services contracts (multi-year base periods plus option years), with pricing structured as firm-fixed-price or cost-plus arrangements negotiated through federal acquisition processes; no commercial or consumer pricing exists. The company employs more than 5,000 professionals, predominantly former military members with active security clearances, positioning it as a vertically integrated platform rather than a point-solution provider.
