Mission-critical IT and cyber solutions for U.S. government defense and intelligence
Constellation West is a service-disabled veteran and women-owned government contractor (51–200 employees, Vienna, VA) that sells cyber, cloud, and geospatial IT capabilities to U.S. defense and intelligence agencies. The stack spans SAP, AWS, Azure, GCP, ArcGIS, and SQL/PostgreSQL—typical of systems integrators handling large federal IT footprints—but the project backlog reveals active work on modernizing legacy NC3 (command, control, communications) infrastructure and intelligence workflows. Hiring is accelerating across engineering, security, and ops, with a senior-heavy mix, signaling either contract wins requiring staffing or a strategic push to move beyond legacy maintenance into new-generation capability delivery.

Constellation West provides IT services, cybersecurity, cloud migration, and geospatial information systems to U.S. government customers in defense, intelligence, and related federal agencies. The company was founded in 1997 and operates from headquarters in Vienna, Virginia, with an operations center in Bellevue, Nebraska. Core competencies include IT engineering, emerging technologies, process management, and mission-critical system support. The customer base is primarily federal—USSTRATCOM, DIA, NC3 Enterprise Center, and related DoD/intelligence organizations. Active projects span training support, enterprise risk assessment, privacy compliance metrics, architecture definition, and modernization of aging command-and-control systems. The company is privately held and operates as a small business set-aside contractor.
Primary tools include SAP, AWS, Azure, GCP, ArcGIS (Pro, Enterprise, GeoEvent), Python, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, SharePoint, Microsoft 365, Tableau, and Oracle Database. No active adopting or replacing initiatives listed.
Active projects include joint training and assessment for USSTRATCOM, NC3 enterprise modernization, web GIS application development, privacy compliance tracking, and intelligence capability assessments. Key pain point is modernizing aging NC3 systems and closing data shortfalls.
