UNBREAKABLE VALUES. SUPERIOR SOLUTIONS.

Nemean Solutions was founded in 2017 on a straightforward principle: build a company defined by its character, earn the trust of its customers and partners, and deliver superior solutions to the missions we are privileged to support.

What began in Sierra Vista, Arizona, has grown into a national defense and federal services company supporting missions across the United States. Today, Nemean is an SBA 8(a) Certified Native Hawaiian-Owned (NHO), veteran-operated small business serving customers across the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Special Operations community, Intelligence Enterprise, and other federal agencies.

Our growth has never changed the values on which Nemean was founded. We remain committed to our customers, our employees—the Nemean Pride—our industry partners, and the American taxpayer.

BUILDING THE FOUNDATION | 2017–2020

Nemean established its foundation by building the systems, processes, and reputation necessary to become a trusted federal contractor. The company earned SBA 8(a) certification in late 2019 and successfully completed an audit of its accounting system by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) in 2020. That same year, Nemean secured its first three prime federal contracts and received recognition from both the Arizona Small Business Development Center and the U.S. Department of Labor. These early milestones established something more important than growth: credibility.

EXPANDING OUR REACH | 2021–2023

In 2021, Nemean entered its next chapter by joining the Ho'okahua Hawaiian Foundation (HHF) and becoming an SBA 8(a) Certified Native Hawaiian Organization Small Business. During this period, Nemean expanded its federal contracting infrastructure and earned prime positions on GSA 8(a) STARS III and GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) while achieving ISO 9001 quality-management and ISO 27001 information-security certifications. Nemean also partnered with Trideum Corporation to establish the Nemean Trideum Joint Venture (NTSS JV), expanding the company's ability to pursue and execute increasingly complex federal missions.

The results became visible nationally. In 2022—its first year of eligibility—Nemean debuted at No. 158 on the Inc. 5000, identifying it as one of America's fastest-growing privately held companies. Nemean returned to the Inc. 5000 in 2023 at No. 755 and was also recognized among the nation's fastest-growing veteran businesses through the VET100. But growth was never simply about getting bigger. It was about building the people, infrastructure, relationships, and capabilities necessary to take on more consequential missions.

BUILDING FOR THE NEXT LEVEL | 2024–2025

By 2024, Nemean had evolved significantly beyond the company founded seven years earlier.

Nemean earned its third consecutive Inc. 5000 recognition, ranking No. 624 nationally, while continuing its record of recognition through the VET100 and Department of Labor HIRE Vets programs.

The company recertified its ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2022 management systems, strengthened its cybersecurity infrastructure, and transitioned into Microsoft GCC High as part of a broader investment in protecting sensitive government and partner information.

Nemean also expanded its strategic partnerships. In 2024, Nemean and Agile Defense established the Nemean Agile Joint Venture—Agile Lion, an SBA-approved Mentor-Protégé Joint Venture focused on advanced information technology, cybersecurity, digital transformation, and professional services.

New contract vehicles followed, including prime positions on GSA OASIS+ Small Business, GSA OASIS+ 8(a), and Navy SeaPort-NxG, creating new pathways for Nemean to support customers across the Federal Government. Operational growth accelerated in 2025 with significant new contract awards, including support to U.S. Marine Corps PEO Land Systems and White Sands Missile Range, while Nemean earned its fourth consecutive Inc. 5000 and VET100 recognitions and sixth HIRE Vets award.

The year also marked an important leadership transition. Co-Founder Simon E. Ortiz transitioned from CEO into his role as CEO Emeritus and advisor, while Co-Founder and longtime President Craig Mount assumed leadership as President and CEO, continuing a succession process designed to position Nemean for its next stage of growth.

THE NEXT CHAPTER | 2026 AND BEYOND

Nemean entered 2026 with the infrastructure, experience, workforce, partnerships, and contract access of a substantially more mature organization. The company achieved CMMC Level 2 certification through a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO), strengthening Nemean's ability to securely support missions involving Controlled Unclassified Information and the evolving cybersecurity requirements of the Defense Industrial Base.

Nemean continued expanding its operational portfolio with awards supporting missions including the Pennsylvania Army National Guard and U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM). Our partnerships have grown with us. In August 2026, Agile Lion was selected for a $250 million Navy logistics IT modernization IDIQ, demonstrating the ability of Nemean and its strategic partners to compete for increasingly complex, technology-driven missions.

And in August 2026, Nemean achieved something few growing companies sustain:

Five consecutive years on the Inc. 5000.

Nemean ranked No. 1,065 nationally in 2026 with 329% three-year revenue growth, completing a five-year run:

2022 — No. 158
2023 — No. 755
2024 — No. 624
2025 — No. 950
2026 — No. 1,065

Today, Nemean delivers capabilities spanning Military Intelligence, Operational Security, Special Operations Forces training, Test and Evaluation, Modeling and Simulation, Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Logistics, Facility Support, Capability Development, and specialized Program and Professional Services.

We hold prime positions on major federal contract vehicles including GSA OASIS+ Small Business, GSA OASIS+ 8(a), GSA 8(a) STARS III, SeaPort-NxG, and MDA SHIELD, supported by DCAA-audited accounting systems, ISO-certified management systems, and CMMC Level 2 cybersecurity. But contracts, certifications, rankings, and revenue do not define Nemean.

Our people do.

Our workforce—the Nemean Pride—has built this company one customer, one mission, and one commitment at a time. Our responsibility as we grow is to preserve the culture and values that brought us here while continually increasing what Nemean is capable of delivering.

The company that began in Sierra Vista in 2017 was built to compete.

The Nemean of today is being built to endure.
