AQUIA INC.

Aquia, Inc. specializes in custom computer programming and mission-critical IT services tailored for federal agencies, with a focus on compliance-driven software development and continuous authorization to operate (CATO) implementation. The company delivers secure, standards-aligned solutions including Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause adherence, cybersecurity protocol integration, and system modernization under stringent federal requirements. Their technical expertise spans end-to-end software development lifecycles, FedRAMP-aligned security controls, and the deployment of secure, audit-ready environments that meet NIST and FISMA frameworks. Aquia’s ability to execute sole-source engagements under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(5) demonstrates deep trust and proven competency in delivering specialized, non-commoditized IT services where regulatory precision and institutional knowledge are paramount. The contractor has delivered services to the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Commerce, and the General Services Administration, consistently supporting high-stakes compliance and operational continuity initiatives. For the VA, they have executed sole-source technology procurements requiring statutory authority, while for Commerce and GSA, they have implemented security protocols and software systems aligned with federal mandates including EO 14042 and continuous ATO processes, indicating a pattern of engagement on mission-critical, security-sensitive projects. Aquia operates primarily under NAICS 541511 for custom computer programming and 541519 for broader computer-related services, positioning them as a niche provider of bespoke federal IT solutions rather than off-the-shelf software vendors. Their work centers on securing and modernizing legacy systems through tailored code development, compliance automation, and secure deployment practices, serving agencies with rigorous cybersecurity and procurement constraints. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business structured as a 2L entity, Aquia leverages its certification to compete in federal small business set-asides while maintaining a strategic presence in Virginia Beach, VA. Their market positioning emphasizes trust, regulatory fluency, and the delivery of mission-critical IT services under complex federal contracting environments.
