IT Company Employs Military Veterans

Innoplex was awarded GovConnects Government Contractor of the Year.

A small, growing company in Columbia, MD, occupies a unique niche, telling more about its ownership than what it does. When the company started out in 2005, it was known as Intelligence Solutions For Information Systems LLC. But as it has grown, it has taken on a new identity. It is still considered a service-disabled veteran/minority-owned small business, which provides important services to the Federal Government, but now it goes by the name of INNOPLEX, LLC.

The still-distinguishing feature of Innoplex is that most of the employees have been on military deployment, giving the company a unique advantage of having staff who are intimately familiar with locations around the globe, and also being ready, willing, and able to respond quickly. The company has particular expertise in developing and supporting collection hardware for the Department of Defense and individual intelligence missions, both inside the US and around the world.

Innoplex (the managing member), Columbia Technology Partners (CTP), and COMSO, had joined together into BELLATOR Joint Venture, in order to combine the strengths of the three companies in delivering the expertise needed for more complex systems engineering, cyber security, and information technology work.

In April, BELLATOR JV received a contract for more than $60 million for an IT contract with a major Central Maryland enterprise. The contract represents a four-year project to provide highly specialized Enterprise IT support. This project includes architecture, systems engineering, along with maintaining and sustaining a collaborative systems environment. It allows the BELLATOR collaborative to provide support to cutting edge IT engineering and systems integration in order to operate complex network infrastructures, data centers, and Enterprise software solutions.

Approximately a year ago, Innoplex acquired Anduril Engineering, a wireless telecommunications systems engineering company. This acquisition enhanced Innoplex's ability to stand out within the commercial and federal cybersecurity and vulnerability analysis arena and added expertise in the new area of wireless cybersecurity products and service capabilities.

Innoplex even sponsored a golf tournament.

The plan involves making Anduril a fully-owned subsidiary of Innoplex, enabling the company to work with a broader customer audience. For instance, this addition would give Innoplex the ability to access highly specialized contracts and customer directed opportunities at Fort Meade in the wireless signal processing and telecommunications area.
