Defense contractor providing ERP, process optimization, and infrastructure support to federal agencies
Herdt Consulting is a veteran-owned defense contractor (founded 2002, 51–200 employees) serving the U.S. Department of Defense and federal agencies. The tech stack reveals a VMware-dominant infrastructure footprint (NSX, vSphere, vSAN, ESXi) paired with Kubernetes orchestration and DevSecOps automation — a combination that flags serious enterprise cloud-migration and compliance work. Active hiring skews heavily toward senior engineers (9 of 15 roles), suggesting execution depth around complex, high-stakes federal system implementations rather than foundational scaling.
