NAIS

What NAIS does

NAIS is a privately held, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA 8(a)-certified federal IT contractor founded in 2013 and headquartered in Pawleys Island, South Carolina. The firm delivers IT and professional services to U.S. federal agencies — principally the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Defense (DoD), and Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) — across seven integrated service lines: Risk Management & Cybersecurity, IT Enterprise Solutions, IT Infrastructure, Software Development, Data Science, Virtual Reality & 3D Modeling, and Training/Learning Management Systems, plus Program & Mission Support. The offering is built on a professional-services delivery model that pairs CMMI Level 5-aligned Agile methodology ("Pragmatic Agility") with compliance-aligned processes for NIST 800-171, FISMA, FedRAMP, DFARS, ISO 27001, and ISO 20000-1.

NAIS generates revenue through professional services and managed-services contracts awarded under federal procurement vehicles including GSA Schedule, 8(a) STARS II, OASIS, and Navy Seaport-e, delivering services both as a prime and through teaming arrangements. Customer relationships are anchored on regulatory set-aside eligibility (8(a), SDVOSB, 100% American Indian ownership) and on a 120+ OEM partner ecosystem that includes authorized reseller relationships with Samsung and Dell Technologies for hardware and integrated visualization solutions. The company is led by a credentialed veteran bench — Army and Navy veterans with West Point, Stanford, and senior DHS policy backgrounds — and operates with a headcount of 11–50 employees, consistent with a small-business federal services posture that is scaling into more complex, multi-agency engagements.
