What PESystems, Inc. does

PE Systems, Inc. is a privately-held federal professional services contractor founded in 1971 and headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, with a secondary office in Dayton, Ohio, supporting customers worldwide including OCONUS locations. The company delivers Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA), Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS), Foreign Military Sales (FMS) support, program and acquisition management, engineering (including textile engineering), cybersecurity, operations, logistics, test and evaluation, data analysis, and case-management software development to the U.S. Department of Defense — specifically the Department of the Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps — and to Federal civilian agencies including the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Its service delivery is anchored in an ISO 9001:2015-certified Quality Management System audited by Intertek, Section 508 accessibility compliance, and an in-progress Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).

PE Systems accesses the federal market through multiple government-wide acquisition vehicles, including OASIS Small Business (Pools 4, 5A, 5B, 6), Responsive Strategic Sources for Services (RS3), and Seaport Next Generation (NxG), operating as both a prime contractor and subcontractor with a network of strategic teaming partners. The firm has built scale over five decades through a sustained M&A program, having acquired Summit Research Corporation (1996), Bahan Dennis Inc. (1998), Atlantic Analysis Corporation (2000), and IDEAMATICS, Inc. (2021); SRC was subsequently merged into the parent in 2017. Following the 2024 appointment of Marissa E. King as CEO and President, the company operates as a minority, woman-owned business.

The revenue model is purely professional services on time-and-materials and cost-plus task orders under long-cycle DoD and Federal contracts, with pricing determined through the contract vehicles rather than disclosed publicly. Headcount sits in the 251–500 range, and the company has received external validation through the USA TODAY Top Workplace 2026 designation, Dayton Business Journal Best Places to Work (2023), and Military Friendly Employer recognition. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no public-company filings, no identified institutional investors, and no evidence of AI/ML capabilities in the current service portfolio.
