What INA Solutions does

INA Solutions Inc. is a privately held IT solutions firm founded in 2011 and headquartered in Tysons Corner, Virginia, with a secondary office in Leesburg. The company delivers emerging-technology services — AI and machine learning, quantum computing, generative AI, knowledge graphs, IoT analytics, RPA, IT modernization, cloud, DevSecOps, and AR/VR — to U.S. federal agencies and select commercial clients. Its technology stack integrates third-party frameworks (Qiskit, Cirq, PyQuil for quantum; OpenAI, Google AI, Azure AI, AWS for generative AI; Neo4j, Stardog, Amazon Neptune for knowledge graphs; spaCy and NLTK for NLP) and runs across text, image, audio, structured-data, and multimodal workloads. Sub-brands include QliteX (a subscription e-learning platform for K-12 quantum literacy), JaneCJ (a mobile content-creation app for citizen journalists), and BEGIN Learning (a 6-week experiential quantum program).

The business model centers on project-based professional services and managed services delivered through federal procurement channels. INA Solutions is an SBA 8(a) certified firm holding GSA eLibrary (Contract #47QTCA19D008X) and GSA 8(a) STARS III GWAC (Contract #47QTCB21D0155), the latter designated OMB Best-in-Class. Supporting credentials include ISO 9001:2015, CMMI-DEV Maturity Level 3, FedRAMP authorization, and Virginia SWaM certification. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific under multi-year contract vehicles. Named federal customers include DHS/USCIS, USDA, NSF, U.S. Air Force, Department of Energy (WRPS and Remote Sensing), and the National Quantum Literacy Network.

Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with consultative engagement, supplemented by content marketing (blog, white papers), LinkedIn presence, and industry workshops. The firm maintains an academic partnership network spanning George Mason University, USC, Tuskegee, Morgan State, and CSUSB, and is a member of an IBM Q research team for Quantum Machine Learning. In July 2024, INA Solutions received a 3-year NSF grant (through June 2027) to advance experiential learning in Quantum AI and QML, anchoring its strategic emphasis on quantum education and workforce development alongside its federal services core.
