ADC Management Solutions

What ADC Management Solutions does

ADC Management Solutions (legal entity Aspen of DC, LLC) is a privately held, woman and minority-owned workforce innovation and human capital outsourcing firm headquartered in Washington, D.C., with a second office in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Founded in 2003 by CEO and Managing Principal Brandy R. Butler, the company provides five core service lines: management consulting, staff augmentation (including professional/executive search and recruitment process outsourcing), workforce development (youth programs, training, executive coaching), strategic planning, and project management, with a newer construction management practice delivered through a joint venture with Shannon Construction Company. ADC serves federal agencies (U.S. DOT, U.S. Treasury, U.S. Census Bureau, NASA, U.S. Department of Commerce), Washington-area local government agencies (DC Water, DC DOT, DC Department of General Services, Prince George's County), non-profits, and selected Fortune 500 enterprises (Kaiser Permanente, BITHGROUP Technologies, WSP, Pepco, DCSEU, AmeriHealth).

The company generates revenue through professional services contracts structured as Time & Material, Firm Fixed Price, and Cost Option agreements, primarily via GSA Schedule and DC Supply Schedule contracting vehicles that enable sole-source and streamlined procurement. Its distribution model is enterprise field sales and relationship-based business development, supported by a broad portfolio of set-aside certifications (WBENC, SBA HUBZone, EDWOSB, MD/DC MSDC, MDOT, MWUCP, MWAA, Philadelphia OEC, Prince George's County) that grant preferential access to government set-aside work. Technology is not a differentiator: ADC operates on standard infrastructure including a Wix website, PaycomOnline applicant tracking and HR portal, and conventional productivity tools; its competitive moat is built on certifications, 20+ year incumbency, and a documented track record of placing over 1,500 individuals and supporting 300+ workforce development participants. The firm reports 51-100 employees and is privately held with no disclosed external funding.
