What Information Control Systems Corporation does

Information Control Systems Corporation (ICS), founded in 1976 and headquartered at 200 E. Pratt Street, Suite 4100, Baltimore, Maryland, is a privately held professional services firm that delivers IT and administrative support to U.S. federal, state, and local government agencies as well as corporate clients. The company is structured as a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB, CVE Verified) and is certified by the National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC), the Maryland Department of Transportation, and as a Minority Business Enterprise; it also holds ISO 9001:2008 certification and a DCAA-approved accounting system.

ICS organizes its offering around seven core service lines: Project Management, Project Personnel, Professional/Technical/Administrative Support, Help Desk Management, Database Management, Logistics Support, and Quality and Information Assurance. Its technical stack spans Oracle Database, MS SQL Server, UNIX, Linux, VMware, Windows, and standard web development technologies. The company is not a software product vendor; its deliverable is skilled personnel and program execution against statement-of-work style task orders, including capabilities such as computer systems design, custom programming, systems integration, cybersecurity, SharePoint development, and database/data warehouse administration (e.g., 227 Oracle databases maintained for Baltimore City Public Schools).

ICS generates revenue primarily through government IT contracts, acting as both a prime contractor and a subcontractor to large primes such as Accenture and STSC. Pricing is custom and project-based, with disclosed historical contract values ranging from $25,000 to $16,000,000 (Baltimore City Public Schools IT Management, 1999-2000), typically structured as multi-year awards. Customer engagements are concentrated in defense, civilian, and law enforcement agencies (Department of Justice, IRS, RDECOM, DHS, Department of Education, US Postal Service, US Air Force, CMS), with additional state (Maryland) and local (Baltimore) government work. The firm is led by President/CEO Garland O. Williamson, and the website is operational but reflects content dated to 2021.
