ITZ

What ITZ does

ITZ LLC is a privately held IT services and engineering firm founded in 2014 and headquartered in Lexington Park, Maryland, with a satellite office in Saint Inigoes, MD. The company operates with 11-50 employees and provides four interconnected service lines: Engineering, Cybersecurity, Software Development, and IT Support. Its engineering practice is anchored in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), using SysML, UML, DoDAF, UAF, and UPDM frameworks within tools such as Cameo Enterprise Architecture, IBM Rational Rhapsody, and Sparx Enterprise Architect. Cybersecurity services are built around Zero Trust architecture, system hardening aligned with DISA STIGs and NIST 800-53, FIPS 140-3 validated encryption, and incident response following NIST 800-61. Software development is delivered through DevSecOps pipelines (Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, Terraform, Ansible), and IT support spans helpdesk, server/database management, network configuration, hosting, and surveillance systems.

ITZ's core customer base is the U.S. Department of Defense, particularly NAVAIR and NAWCAD programs, where the firm operates as a subcontractor on major contract vehicles held by ManTech (NAVAIR 4.0M Mission Engineering), J.F. Taylor (Shipboard Air Traffic Control Integration), ASEC (Airborne Anti-Submarine Warfare), and SABRE (NAWCAD Code Air 4.1), with additional subcontract work under CACI and CRL Technologies. The company also serves a small set of commercial and educational clients including the University of Maryland Global Campus, Southern Maryland Higher Education Center, 84 Lumber, and Early Bird Liquor. Revenue is generated through professional services engagements, with no publicly disclosed pricing; prospective customers are routed through a website contact form, email, and phone.

ITZ holds three ISO certifications (ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO 9001:2015, ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018) issued by QAS International, which provide compliance credibility for federal and defense work. Its go-to-market is sales-led, leveraging prime contractor relationships for indirect access to government program offices and direct outreach for both federal and commercial accounts. There is no disclosed funding history, ownership structure, or financial performance data.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• CACI: Large federal IT and engineering services prime with deep DoD and intelligence community work. Existing CACI subcontract feeds ITZ but, at scale, CACI is broadly comparable to ITZ's federal IT services domain.
• ManTech International: Large defense IT and engineering services prime (now part of CGI), prime holder of the NAVAIR 4.0M Mission Engineering vehicle from which ITZ subcontracts. Provides the channel through which ITZ reaches NAVAIR today and represents the prime-scale incumbent ITZ could aspire toward.

Direct peers

• Interactive Process Technology (IPT): Small defense IT services firm providing systems engineering, software development, and cybersecurity across DoD agencies and federal civilian customers. Comparable in scope of services and small-business set-aside positioning.
• Epsilon Inc. Systems engineering and IT services company supporting DoD, federal civilian, and select commercial clients, with a strong practice in MBSE-adjacent systems analysis. Comparable mid-tier federal services model with overlapping customer programs.
• System High Corporation: Small/mid-tier defense contractor providing cleared workforce, systems engineering, and cybersecurity services to federal customers. Comparable in reliance on cleared SMEs and on DoD program work, with a similar professional services DNA.
• Dignitas Technologies: Small business defense contractor focused on Model-Based Systems Engineering and systems engineering services for Army and DoD customers, headquartered in the same NAVAIR-adjacent Lexington Park, MD corridor. Highly comparable in size, MBSE specialization, and federal customer profile.
• COLSA Corporation: Defense and federal IT services company focused on systems engineering, IT, and cyber for DoD customers. Overlaps ITZ on systems engineering and DoD contracts; comparable scaled-down professional services model.
• ASEC: Defense subcontractor on the NAVAIR Airborne Anti-Submarine Warfare vehicle, in which ITZ also participates. Direct channel partner and competitor for similar subcontracted tasking on the same Navy ASW program.
• CRL Technologies: Small defense contractor supporting government engineering and IT programs via multiple high-level contract vehicles, comparable in size and posture to ITZ. Existing channel partner that competes for overlapping taskings.
• Envisioneering Inc. Systems engineering and integration services firm serving NAVAIR and DoD programs with modeling, simulation, and digital engineering offerings. Pax River-area small business with a near-identical customer and capability set to ITZ.
