  • Roles pay $180,000 to $200,000, attracting scarce TS/SCI-cleared engineers.
  • New 2026 contract awards suggest ongoing recompete wins and pipeline momentum.

What critics are saying

  • Revenue depends on Defense Intelligence Agency and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency budgets.
  • A single lost SITE III task order can cut headcount quickly in Annapolis Junction.
  • No public diversification into commercial markets creates existential concentration risk.

What makes Red Arch Solutions unique
