ADC LTD NM TIER PRICING RATE SCHEDULE

Introduction:

ADC LTD NM (ADC) is a Minority, Woman Owned business that was founded in 1983 and established in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1985 by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Arthur D. Cordova, Jr. ADC provides a variety of services to federal, state, and local agencies, Native American tribes, and private sector firms. We now have approximately 500 direct employees and over 2,000 contract investigators throughout the United States who are devoted to providing exceptional services to include personnel security (background investigations), physical security (security guards; security escorts; access control specialists) and facility maintenance.

ADC’s experience and ability to perform are demonstrated by successful completion of hundreds of cases for Background Investigations (BIs), encompassing several contracts. ADC is a strong company with adequate financial resources and support of regional financial institutions to ensure stability and continued services to our valued customers. ADC’s growth has resulted from full commitment to quality service, performance, and integrity.

ADC is committed to continuously improving the methods and tools to best serve our customers.

Our internally developed Roadrunner™ Case Management System (RCMS) is a state-of-the-art software package intended to enhance efficiency of case management and safely handle informational transmissions for personnel background investigations. This Roadrunner™ system maintains SSL encryption and ECA security certificates. It is housed on a hardened, secure server.

It is only accessible through our client approved VDI portal. All casework is performed on VDI, which reduces the risk of case material and PII being compromised. Roadrunner™ allows investigators to receive electronic notifications of case assignments, securely download and store case materials, create ROIs online, and submit supporting documentation. ADC’s in-house case managers can review the ROIs, indicate where additional information is needed, and ultimately approve submissions to the requesting client. All ADC IT systems, including VDI and Roadrunner™, are only accessible using two-factor authentication. Benefits to our clients include improved communication and expedited case assignment, completion, and submission.

Mission Statement:

ADC LTD NM will be the trusted source of Personnel Security, Clearance Investigations, Security Guards, Access Control Specialists, and Background Investigation Provider for the U.S.
