What believers are saying

  • DoD generated 100% of Markon's obligated federal awards, totaling $116.3 million.
  • TECTIX cut Army Materiel Command ATO package review time by about 90%.
  • PLEX integration lifted cyber and technology services above half of revenue.

What critics are saying

  • Four incumbent recompetes expose $23.3 million over the next 24 months.
  • Millennium founders retired in February 2026, increasing retention and integration risk immediately.
  • Every obligated award sits with DoD, so one budget shift can crater revenue.

What makes Markon unique

  • PLEX added agentic AI, zero-trust, and ICS cybersecurity; Millennium added red-team depth.
  • Ninety-two percent of staff hold TS/SCI clearances, enabling classified defense and intelligence work.

About Sterling Investment Partners

February 20, 2026. Markon acquires Millennium Corporation to deliver expanded mission critical cyber capabilities across national security markets. The combination strengthens end-to-end cyber delivery, scale, and resilience for defense and intelligence customers. Falls Church, VA - Markon announced today that it has acquired Millennium Corporation (" Millennium "), significantly expanding its ability to deliver integrated, mission-ready solutions across defense, intelligence, and federal civilian agencies. The acquisition establishes the combined organization as a leading Full Spectrum Cyber Provider, uniting Markon's enterprise service delivery strengths and profound Intelligence Community support and program execution expertise with Millennium's deep ties to the defense market and elite cyber operations, engineering, analysis, testing, training, and software capabilities. Markon CEO Ray Carney stated, "Our customers operate in increasingly complex and contested mission environments that demand both technical excellence and reliable execution. By bringing Millennium into the Markon enterprise, we are expanding our ability to deliver integrated, mission-ready cyber solutions that span strategy, operations, testing, training, and sustainment. This combination allows us to support our customers with greater depth, resilience, and continuity across the full lifecycle of their most critical missions." "This acquisition enhances our ability to meet customer needs at scale while maintaining the discipline and responsiveness required for national security missions," noted Drew Thompson, Chief Corporate Development Officer of Markon. "The combined organization brings together operational insight, advanced cyber capabilities, and enterprise delivery strength, allowing us to pursue larger and more complex programs while continuing to deliver measurable mission outcomes for our customers." A central element of the transaction is the consolidation and expansion of the combined firms' Independent Research and Development (IRAD) program under the Markon brand, bringing together innovation investments and intellectual property from across the enterprise. Ryan Hill, Millennium Corporation President, said, "For our customers, this partnership means continuity and expanded capability. They will continue working with the same trusted teams, while gaining access to broader technical depth, increased innovation investment, and an enterprise platform designed to support long-term mission success." K>fivefour(TM), an elite cybersecurity training and certification offering, is a key differentiator of the combined Markon and Millennium portfolio. Integrated into the Markon enterprise, K>fivefour delivers hands-on, scenario-driven training through five progressive certification levels aligned to real-world Red Team, Blue Team, and integrated mission roles, enabling customers to develop and sustain mission-ready cyber operators. Chief Technology Officer Ben Clark added, "Combining Millennium with the Markon enterprise allows us to integrate cyber operations, testing, training, and engineering into more cohesive and scalable mission solutions. For customers, that translates into faster response, higher fidelity, and solutions that are better aligned to real-world operational requirements." Millennium Founders Cedric Henry and Kevin Jennings, who are retiring following the acquisition, added: "We are incredibly proud of what the Millennium team has built and grateful to everyone who has contributed to its success. Markon is the right partner to carry this mission forward. Their values, leadership, and commitment to technical excellence give us great confidence that Millennium's people, culture, and capabilities will continue to thrive while expanding their impact in support of national security missions."
