What ARCA International does

ARCA International, operating through its legal entity Ace Relocation Systems, Inc., is a U.S.-based moving and logistics company headquartered in Washington, DC with 10 operational locations across major metropolitan markets including Austin/San Antonio/Houston, the Bay Area, Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Orlando, Phoenix, San Diego, and Seattle. The company provides household goods relocation services to U.S. federal civilian agencies under the GSA Centralized Household Goods Traffic Management Program (CHAMP), and has expanded its commercial book into healthcare, hospitality, library, lab and biotech, technology and IT, and corporate office relocations, alongside residential moving, self-pack, storage, and commercial warehousing offerings.

The company's core technology is the Transportation Management Services Solution (TMSS), an online platform that manages the entire transportation process for government moves, covering shipment creation, planning, tendering, execution, and reporting. ARCA operates as an Atlas Van Lines interstate agent and holds multiple industry credentials including BBB A+ accreditation, Certified ProMover status, and DOT/MC licensing across federal and state jurisdictions.

The business model is primarily transaction-based relocation services delivered under GSA government contract terms through the CHAMP program on multi-year contracts, supplemented by quote-based commercial and residential moves. Go-to-market combines direct B2B enterprise engagement for federal and commercial clients with digital channels (website, social media, resources) for top-of-funnel acquisition. Leadership is led by Chris Hood as President. The company was previously branded as ARCA Government Services before being rebranded to ACE RELOCATION GOVERNMENT GROUP under the unified Ace Relocation umbrella.
