Imagineeer

What Imagineeer does

Imagineeer LLC is a privately held, founder-led federal AI modernization services firm headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. The company is led by Jose Arrieta, former CIO and CDO of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and operates under a Mission Studio delivery model that brings agency teams, data, and Imagineeer engineers into a shared environment to co-create AI-ready modernization layers for federal mission systems. Service offerings span AI-Ready Cloud and Zero Trust Engineering, Legacy System Transformation, Data Intelligence and Digital Stewardship, and Cybersecurity including post-quantum security, supported by an ImagineLabs sub-brand that functions as a co-creation studio with federal agencies.

The company generates revenue through professional services engagements sold to federal civilian and defense agencies, distributed primarily through its GSA Star Mark 250 Schedule contract and supplemented by direct agency engagement, industry-day capture activity, and teaming/subcontracting relationships with prime contractors. Named customers include HHS, the Department of the Navy, the Department of Defense (now Department of War), Treasury, DHS, TSA, the FDA, and the State Department, spanning health, defense, homeland security, transportation, finance, and diplomacy missions. Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed and no external funding rounds are recorded in the available data.

Imagineeer is a small organization, with firmographic data indicating 1-10 employees and three named leaders (CEO/Founder, Director of Operations, Director of Capture and Brand). AI capabilities are embedded across the delivery model and include generative AI for rapid workflow prototyping, predictive analytics for mission operations, and process automation for legacy systems, though the firm does not disclose proprietary models, patents, or in-house training pipelines. Scale-related claims on the company's site (2,000+ organizations modernized, $600B in federal IT investments influenced) appear to reflect the founder's prior HHS tenure and aggregate federal influence rather than company-attributable annual delivery volume.

Direct peers

• Sevatec: Sevatec is a federal IT modernization and data/AI services firm serving homeland security, justice, and civilian agencies. It is a like-sized peer to Imagineeer focused on similar federal mission modernization and data intelligence work.
• Octo Consulting (Maxim|Octo): Octo is a mid-sized federal digital services and AI/ML firm focused on HHS, DoD, and civilian agency modernization — closely comparable to Imagineeer in target customers, AI/ML deployment focus, and federal small-business positioning. Now part of Maximus.

Broad incumbents

• Deloitte Federal: Deloitte's Government & Public Services practice delivers AI, cybersecurity, and federal modernization consulting to HHS, DoD, and civilian agencies — directly overlapping Imagineeer's service portfolio and customer set, and Sara Fitzgerald's prior BearingPoint/Deloitte tenure makes it an especially natural comparator.
• Leidos: Leidos is a top-tier federal IT services and systems integrator serving HHS, DoD, and homeland security clients on AI, cloud, and security modernization. It competes for the same federal AI modernization and Zero Trust programs Imagineeer targets, but at much larger scale as a prime contractor.
• SAIC: SAIC is a federal IT and engineering services prime with deep DoD, Navy, intelligence, and federal civilian business. It pursues similar AI/ML deployment, cloud, and Zero Trust modernization work as Imagineeer, typically at prime scale.
• ManTech International: ManTech (now a Constellis acquisition) provides federal IT, cybersecurity, and AI services to DoD, intelligence, and DHS customers. Comparable to Imagineeer in security and modernization service lines, particularly for federal defense and homeland security clients.
• Booz Allen Hamilton: Booz Allen Hamilton is a large federal IT and AI services prime with deep civilian and defense agency relationships across HHS, DoD, DHS, and Treasury. It is highly comparable to Imagineeer as a federal AI modernization and Zero Trust delivery partner, but operates at vastly larger scale with established multi-billion-dollar contract vehicles.
• Accenture Federal Services: Accenture Federal Services delivers large-scale AI, cloud, and digital transformation engagements across HHS, DoD, Treasury, and DHS. It competes for the same mission-focused AI modernization contracts Imagineeer targets, but with much broader delivery capacity.
• CACI International: CACI provides federal IT modernization, cybersecurity, and AI-enabled solutions to defense, intelligence, and homeland security customers. It is comparable to Imagineeer in target customer base and modernization services, but at significantly larger scale.

Emerging players

• Oddball: Oddball is a small federal digital services firm delivering agile software, AI/ML, and modernization to HHS, VA, and other civilian agencies. Comparable to Imagineeer as a small, mission-driven federal services firm focused on modernizing legacy systems.
