What Accolade Technologies does

Accolade Technologies LLC is a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) founded in 2019 and headquartered in Annapolis Junction, Maryland, with a regional expansion to Georgia opened in 2025. The company delivers technology, analytic, and engineering services to the U.S. Intelligence Community and Department of Defense, operating as a prime contractor on classified and classified-adjacent programs. Its service portfolio is organized into five core areas: Cybersecurity, Signal and Target Analysis, SETA (Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance), Business Consulting, and Information Technology services. Delivery relies on cleared personnel executing T&M and labor-augmentation contracts at DoD/IC cleared-program rates.

The company employs over 50 highly cleared professionals as of May 2024 — with stated plans to exceed 100 by 2026 — and approximately 45.8% of staff are veterans. Accolade's go-to-market is enterprise field sales directly to government contracting officers, with all positions requiring active security clearances with appropriate polygraph. Revenue is generated through 2 active prime contracts and 14 funded projects across IC and DoD agencies, with no commercial-market activity or indirect channel partners. Job posting salary bands of $100,000-$275,000 for cleared roles (e.g., Cyber Vulnerability Analyst Level 3, Data Scientist, Exploitation Analyst) reflect typical government contracting T&M pricing.

Operationally the firm has accumulated key certifications that materially expand its addressable contract base: SBA SDVOSB certification (2021), ISO 9001:2015 (2022 via NQA), CMMC Level 2 self-certification (February 2026), and registration in SAM with CAGE code 6YW48. Infrastructure includes a Microsoft 365 Government Community Cloud High (GCC High) environment adopted in March 2024. The business is privately held with no disclosed external institutional capital, owned and led by CEO Scott Dudash (40 years of experience) and COO Kathleen Pumphrey (38 years).
