What Privateer IT LLC does

Privateer IT, LLC is a U.S. federal IT services contractor founded in 2014 and headquartered in Melbourne, Florida. The company delivers infrastructure, cloud migration, governance, consulting, and analysis of information and communication technologies to multiple federal agencies, with a documented customer base spanning the Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Benefits Administration, the VA Office of Information & Technology, and the Defense Intelligence Agency.

The firm organizes its work around three core service lines. Cloud & Virtualization covers needs analysis, environment sizing, FEDRAMP-certified cloud provisioning, and application or physical migrations, with current experience performing these functions at Veterans Affairs. Information Management Systems delivers 24x7 project management, administrative, and operational support including Tier 1, 2, and 3 hardware and software help desk. Operations & Maintenance provides infrastructure and application security (firewalls, encryption, anti-virus, threat modeling), plus support for Exchange, Tivoli, SharePoint, VMware, Windows, and Linux administration. Underlying capabilities are anchored by CVE-certified SDVOSB status, SBA HUBZone certification, a Facility Security Clearance maintained by an in-house FSO, and staff certifications in ITIL, SCRUM, and VMware.

Commercially, Privateer IT operates as a bootstrapped, founder-owned LLC with no disclosed institutional investors or funding rounds. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales into federal agencies, leveraging set-aside contract eligibility available to SDVOSB and HUBZone firms. Pricing and contract values are not publicly disclosed. The company has 11-50 employees and was recognized on the 2019 Inc. 5000 list; leadership is led by founder and CEO Jerry Bennett (Navy submarine veteran, prior tenures at Harris Corporation, Sirius Computer Solutions, and IBM) and COO Tom Kenny (30+ years federal marketplace experience, previously scaled FTC from $15M to $195M).
