Pinnacle Solutions

What Pinnacle Solutions does

Pinnacle Solutions is a privately held, minority-owned IT and cybersecurity services firm headquartered in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, founded in 2003. The company delivers an integrated "IT ecosystem" spanning four core service lines: Infrastructure Design and Operations (LAN/WAN/WLAN design, network security design, physical infrastructure build, and network operations management), Technology Support Solutions (managed IT support, security monitoring, vendor management, IT strategic planning), Cybersecurity Risk Management (policy development, risk assessments, regulatory compliance, security awareness training), and Management Consulting (strategic planning, project management). The company primarily serves federal and local government agencies (including DoD's NCS-IADS program, USTDA, Department of Navy SSP, and DC Government), defense contractors in the DoD Defense Industrial Base, and select small businesses and nonprofit organizations in the Maryland/DC region.

Pinnacle Solutions operates a project-based, quote-driven services model under multi-year contracts, engaging both as a prime contractor on smaller engagements and as a lead sub-contractor on larger federal task orders. Notable project evidence includes a lead sub-contractor role on a $38M DoD NCS-IADS IT support task order (including a $1.2M Cisco technical refresh), network reconfiguration of Navy SSP SCIFs that delivered a 75% increase in secured user capacity, and a 300-user telework environment for USTDA during the COVID-19 pandemic. Technology partnerships include Cisco (Certified Enterprise and Design partner), Dell, HP, Ingram Micro, and CompTIA, with leadership holding active security clearances and professional certifications including Cisco Certified CyberOps and CompTIA Secure Infrastructure Specialist.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeted at government procurement officers and prime contractors, supported by downloadable capabilities documents, an online consultation request flow, and a customer portal for post-sale engagement. Its core economic positioning is anchored on regulatory certifications—SBA VOSB/SDVOSB and Maryland MBE/DBE/SBE/SBR and City of Baltimore OBC—that grant preferential access to veteran-owned and minority-owned set-aside contracts. Ownership is concentrated in a Service-Disabled Veteran and a Woman, with no institutional equity, venture, or private equity backing evident. The company is headquartered at 15526 Finchingfield Way, Upper Marlboro, MD 20774, with operating geographies limited to Maryland and the District of Columbia.
