Alpha 2, LLC

Alpha 2, LLC, doing business as Alpha 2 Inc., is a veteran-owned small business delivering security engineering, cryptographic analysis, and integration evaluation support to the Department of the Air Force as a prime contractor (56% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on intelligence and space systems programs. Alpha 2 is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, and operates under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations. The vendor is a subsidiary of Aurex Holdings, LLC.

Alpha 2's customer base is heavily concentrated with the Air Force. The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command accounts for all five prime awards and $5.7 million in combined potential value, reflecting the vendor's primary vehicle: a $4.996 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded September 28, 2023, running through September 27, 2028. Recent prime work includes a $486,361 definitive contract (awarded August 20, 2025) for a KG-590 Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) requirements analysis and architecture study supporting Air Force cryptographic modernization, a $89,553 delivery order (March 26, 2026) for security, evaluation, and technical services at Schriever Space Force Base, and a $66,086 delivery order (February 20, 2024) for Integration Evaluation Document support. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on communications security (COMSEC), information systems security (INFOSEC), cryptographic analysis, and technical integration evaluation for Air Force programs.

Beyond the Air Force, Alpha 2 serves the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command, the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service, and the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory. Awards span multiple vehicles: the single-award IDC (3 task orders, $226 thousand combined potential value), Alliant II, Network-Centric Solutions II, One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services, and Seaport Next Generation. One award (combined potential value $90 thousand) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.

In its subcontractor role, Alpha 2 delivers security engineering services to Booz Allen Hamilton on Space Systems Command ground systems engineering and integration support, intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance systems development, and COMSEC-focused security engineering tasks. SCI-reported activity shows the vendor scaled from 1.1 FTEs in FY2022 to 3.7 FTEs in FY2024 on federal service contracts captured above the $150,000 reporting threshold, all as named subcontractor rather than prime. Alpha 2 operates predominantly through subcontracts to larger defense contractors, with subcontractor work anchoring the vendor's recent growth trajectory.
