Adaptic

What Adaptic does

Adaptic LLC is a private professional services firm headquartered in Annapolis Junction, Maryland, founded in 2019 as an SBA Certified Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB). The firm delivers software engineering, systems engineering, data science, and cybersecurity services to U.S. federal customers across the Intelligence Community, the Department of Defense, and civilian agencies, including work supporting Five Eyes allied partners. Adaptic holds a cleared engineering workforce capable of both CONUS and OCONUS deployment, including forward-deployed tactical support to military operations in high-threat regions.

The company operates through four integrated service pillars. Software Engineering covers the full software development life cycle including UI/UX and agile development. Data Science follows DMBOK principles and centers on IC interoperability, with capabilities in data architecture, modeling, visualization, machine learning, AI, predictive modeling, big data, and BI. Cybersecurity practice is grounded in MITRE ATT&CK, MBC, and STIX frameworks, with engineers certified as MITRE ATT&CK Defenders and holding GCIH and CompTIA Security+ credentials. Systems Engineering spans concept through lifecycle support for mission-critical defense and government systems. Underlying technology fluency includes full-stack development, RF and digital communications, antenna theory, and end-to-end mission data-flow operations.

Adaptic generates revenue through negotiated federal contract vehicles under a direct government sales motion, with no public pricing. Customer concentration is structurally high because the entire book is federal — primarily IC and DoD — and delivery is personnel-based professional services. The company's go-to-market leverages its WOSB status (preferential set-aside access), its cleared workforce, and an accumulated stack of vendor certifications (Microsoft Azure Fundamentals, AWS Cloud Practitioner, CSM, CompTIA Security+, GCIH) to qualify for additional federal procurement vehicles. Supporting infrastructure signals include an active Breezy HR careers portal, a $10,000 employee referral bonus, an 11% 401(k) contribution with no employee match required, and transparent profit-sharing — all consistent with a small, employee-centric services firm scaling through contract wins rather than external capital.
