The Biggest Small Government Contractors

Washington Technology is out with its latest edition of the Fast 50, the fifty fastest growing small government contractors. The firms on Washington Technology’s list are all service contractors that do a minimum of $100,000 of government business every year. Not all the firms are located “inside the Beltway.” In fact, this year’s number one, Merlin Technical Solutions, is based in Greenwood Village Colorado . This information technology services provider posted a 362% compound annual growth rate between 2000 and 2004. Hot areas for contractors are IT services, consulting, and systems integration. The issue also lists the top 25 8(a) companies – firms that are minority-owned and specially designated by the Small Business Administration. As in past years, firms owned by Native Americans and Alaska natives dominate the list, with the number one spot held by last year’s winner, Chenega Corporation of Anchorage , Alaska .

The Fast 50 appears in Washington Technology’s annual small business issue (appearing in the September 26, 2005 issue), which is available on-line at www.washingtontechnology.com
