Allen Corporation of America

What Allen Corporation of America does

Allen Corporation of America is a privately held federal professional services contractor headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, founded in 1980 by A. Carl von Sternberg and currently led by President and CEO Kevin C. Vaughey. The company operates three core divisions — Aviation & Training Services, Cyber Security Services, and Logistics Services — serving U.S. federal civilian agencies, the Department of Defense, and select state/local and foreign military customers. Aviation & Training delivers FAA aviation training support (85,000 accident-free flight hours logged), SCORM/Section 508-compliant e-Learning courseware, and instructor pilot services. Cyber Security provides Trellix/McAfee professional services (rated 'Exceptional' for 13+ consecutive quarters), vulnerability assessments against PCI and HIPAA standards, and previously included WetStone Technologies' proprietary digital forensics and steganalysis products (Gargoyle Investigator MP, StegoHunt MP, US-LATT, T.A.P.S.) — though this line was divested in October 2022. Logistics Services offers software sustainment for Army tactical logistics systems (SAMS, SAMS-E, SARSS), Hardware Software Integration Facility operations at Chester, VA, and Joint Personal Property Shipping Office (JPPSO) support across multiple regional bases under a 40+ year Army/DoD sustainment heritage.

The company generates revenue through government contract vehicles, holding prime positions on GSA IT Schedule 70 (47QTCA19D00E9), HCaTS KSA 1 (GS02Q16DCR0003), EAGLE Prime BPA (W52P1J-17-G-0060), and MOBIS Schedule 874, while acting as subcontractor on DLA JETS, TS3, RS3, and SeaPort-e. Revenue mixes professional services engagements with managed services contracts across federal agencies. Approximately 50% of the 251-500 employees are veterans, supporting security clearance requirements. Recent strategic activity has been defensive rather than offensive: in 2022 the company divested both its Communication Technology Division (May) and WetStone's Digital Forensics line (October), concentrating remaining operations around the aviation/training, cyber services, and Army logistics core. International distribution partnerships for forensics products were established in Brazil, Dubai, Mexico, and Canada prior to the divestiture. The company carries ISO 9001:2015 certification (British Standard Institute) for its Logistics Services Division and has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list three times (2010, 2011, 2013) and ranked #36/#40 on the Washington Business Journal's Top Government Technology Contractors in DC metro (2013/2014).
