What Vickers Nolan Enterprises does

Vickers & Nolan Enterprises (VNE) is a U.S. federal government contractor founded in 2004 and headquartered in Stafford, Virginia, with a regional office in North Charleston, South Carolina. The company delivers technology-centric services — primarily rapid technology insertion, hands-on hardware integration, intelligence training, acquisition support, engineering, and integrated logistics support — to the Department of Defense and the U.S. Intelligence Community, including the U.S. Marine Corps, Navy (NIWC), NRO, FBI, DTRA, MDA, CYBERCOM J2, and Army. VNE is an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), and 8(a) participant, with 97% of its workforce holding active security clearances; in April 2026 it achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification and CMMC Level 2 compliance with a perfect score of 110.

VNE's primary proprietary product is the Automated Collection Planning (ACP) Tool, a web-based application that provides collection planning, management, and tasking for all ISR sensors and is deployed as a Government Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) product at the USMC, originally developed under the Office of Naval Research's Large Tactical Sensor Network (LTSN) II effort and enhanced under the TCAC program. The company generates revenue across three streams: professional services on DoD and federal contracts, licensing/deployment of the ACP Tool as a GOTS product, and hardware integration services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; contracts are awarded through prime positions on IDIQ vehicles including Seaport-NxG MAC, GSA MAS GS-00F-271DA, RS3, MDA SHIELD MAC, and the FBI CIEDS/Crisis Response MAIDIQ, as well as subcontractor arrangements with larger primes. VNE was acquired by GS5, LLC in 2018 and operates as a subsidiary, maintaining its veteran-owned brand identity under President Bobby Blackwell.
