What Anser Corp does

ANSER (legal name Analytic Services Inc.) is a Virginia-incorporated nonprofit corporation founded in 1958, headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, with additional offices in Belcamp, Maryland and operational sites across the U.S. Pacific Theater (Hawaii, Guam, Japan, South Korea). The organization provides advisory, analytical, and technical professional services to U.S. federal government clients in support of national security missions. Its service portfolio spans seven core capabilities: Program Management & Governance, Knowledge Management & Digital Solutions, AI Integration, Workforce Development, Training, Systems Engineering & Integration, and Complex Systems Analytics. These services are delivered across seven market areas: CBRN Defense, Nuclear Enterprise, Defense Industrial Base, Mission Assurance, Information Enterprise, Intelligence, and Federal Civilian agencies.

ANSER's customer base is exclusively U.S. federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, Department of Homeland Security, NASA, Department of State, U.S. Marshals Service, Department of Commerce, and Washington Headquarters Services. The company holds prime contractor positions on a broad portfolio of government-wide acquisition vehicles, including OASIS+, RS3 ($37.4B ceiling), SeaPort-NxG ($2.5B ceiling), JE-RDAP ($8.3B ceiling), WHS ATSS ($1.5B ceiling), GSA MAS, CMSS II, and NIST CHIPS BPA. Revenue is earned primarily through task orders under these vehicles, structured as firm-fixed-price or cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangements. The company maintains a wholly owned IT services subsidiary, ANSER Solutions, LLC (formerly InTec, acquired December 2021).

ANSER's value proposition rests on its nonprofit status, which enables the company to provide analysis perceived as independent of political or commercial influence, and on a cleared, subject-matter-expert workforce of 500-999 employees. The company has invested in formalizing an AI Integration service line covering AI Policy & Mission Alignment, Trusted Data & Responsible AI, and AI Assurance & Innovation. ANSER is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by Dr. Paul N. Stockton and led by President & CEO Steve Hopkins, with a C-suite that was substantially refreshed between 2023 and 2024.
