What BlueForce Inc. does

BlueForce Inc. is a Virginia-headquartered professional services firm founded in 2003 by two retired Air Force fighter pilots. The company is structured as a 100% employee-owned enterprise through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and operates a values-based culture oriented around continued service to the U.S. government. Its functional focus is the delivery of personnel-intensive government professional services — including law enforcement training, security advisory and operations, stability and risk management, civil-military engagement, strategic communications, curriculum and course design, technical instruction, air operations support, acquisition support, evaluations and assessment, modeling and simulations, and English language training — to federal agencies.

BlueForce serves essentially a single-customer vertical: the U.S. federal government. Named end customers include the Department of War (formerly Department of Defense), the Department of State, and the U.S. Air Force. The company is delivered through prime and subcontractor positions on multiple federal contract vehicles, including GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), OASIS+, Counter Narcotics & Global Threats (CN&GT), and Diplomatic Platform Support Services (DiPSS). It maintains a Top Secret facility clearance, ISO 9001:2015 certification (since 2014), and a perfect-score CMMC Level 2 certification (achieved in 2024), and operates across more than 40 countries on five continents.

The business model is professional services contracting: BlueForce is paid on contract and task-order terms under federal procurement vehicles, with revenue tied to deployed cleared personnel, training throughput, advisory engagements, and operational support. Three SBA Mentor-Protégé joint ventures — BFS Solutions (2019, with Spartan Operations Group), SecuriForce (2023, with SecuriFense Inc.), and BFW Solutions (with WCI Data Solutions) — extend the firm's reach into small-business and SDVOSB set-aside pools. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales directed at federal program offices, with brand presence primarily through LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and X for recruiting and business development. Marketing language is minimal; the company positions itself on past performance, CPARS ratings, and security credentials rather than on technology differentiation.
