IDA Technology

What IDA Technology does

IDA Technology (legal name: Integrated Defense Applications) is a privately held, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) headquartered in El Paso, Texas, founded in 2007 by former U.S. Army Air Defense Artillery officer Von Washington. The company provides professional technical services to U.S. Department of Defense and federal civilian agencies, with its core competency in test and evaluation (T&E), performance analysis, modeling and simulation (with organic Live Virtual and Constructive interoperability), data programming, program management, information technology, training, and facility/warehouse management. Its technical stack centers on physics-based simulation tools using the Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) protocol, the proprietary APEX digital scenario tool for live-threat-target injection, and finite element kinematic analysis for missile and air-breathing target systems. Domain focus is concentrated on U.S. Army Air and Missile Defense — including 11+ years of continuous support on the Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (AIAMD) program, the largest Army program currently under development.

The firm operates as both prime contractor and subcontractor across multiple federal contract vehicles, with the May 2020 award of the $249 million U.S. Army Evaluation Center (AEC) Support Services (AECSS) Contract representing its largest single win. Contract vehicle access spans SeaPort-e (N00178-14-D-7331), GSA Professional Engineering Services Schedule 871 (GS-10F-196AA), AMCOM EXPRESS, ITES-2S (a $20B-ceiling vehicle via subcontractor NCI), and AEC Omnibus, with a contractor teaming arrangement with Synnex Corporation providing additional GSA IT 70 reach. Two non-core sub-brands extend the portfolio: IDA Prime Corporate Living (corporate housing established 2014, operating across TX, NM, VA, MD, DC) and IDA Voice (call center and customer interaction services acquired from Promoveo in 2017, based in Missouri, serving telecom, wireless, automotive, and financial verticals). Revenue is generated through negotiated federal contract awards, GSA schedule sales, corporate housing leasing, and contact center services — a multi-stream professional services model with no publicly disclosed pricing.
