Kerberos International, Inc.

Kerberos International, Inc., an SBA-certified women-owned small business (WOSB) and self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Temple, Texas, operates as a prime contractor delivering armed and unarmed protective security officer services to federal civilian agencies, with 98% of recent awards issued as prime contracts under set-asides predominantly for small business or woman-owned small business categories. The company's federal footprint spans protective security services across multiple states and territories, with dominant concentration in Department of Homeland Security regional indefinite delivery contracts for federal facility protection.

Kerberos International's capability portfolio centers exclusively on protective security officer services—armed and unarmed personnel safeguarding federal facilities, infrastructure, and personnel. Recent representative prime work includes a $68.2 million delivery order awarded July 1, 2026, for armed protective security officer services throughout Utah and Wyoming under a total small business set-aside (ultimate completion June 30, 2031, place of performance Salt Lake City, Utah); a $20.6 million delivery order for Tennessee PSO services through January 31, 2027, under total small business set-aside; a $13.1 million delivery order for Tennessee services through January 31, 2029; and a $12.2 million order for Pennsylvania services through July 31, 2026. Work is priced consistently on a firm fixed-price basis incorporating Service Contract Labor Standards wage adjustments. The company also holds a GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (awarded August 10, 2023, ceiling $500,000) offering labor categories spanning unarmed security officers at $50/hr through alarm monitors at $95.10/hr, all without security clearance requirements.

Customer concentration is highly skewed toward DHS. The Department of Homeland Security Office of Procurement Operations accounts for 100 of 128 total awards (78% by count) with combined potential value of $2.39 billion, representing 31% of the vendor's total combined potential value. The top-five customer agencies by award count cover 89% of awards; however, the top-five by potential value diverge markedly: the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors the potential-value ranking with two awards carrying $5.28 billion combined value—a material outlier suggesting either a massive parent IDIQ or a data classification issue—while DHS Procurement Operations ranks second at $2.39 billion across 100 awards. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation ($10.9 million), the Department of the Army Materiel Command ($5.1 million), and the Department of the Air Force Research Laboratory ($1.6 million) complete the top tier. This concentration pattern reflects Kerberos International's business model: deep penetration of DHS regional PSO vehicles across nine single-award indefinite delivery contracts with ceilings ranging from $45 million to $127.4 million, sustained by recurring task-order activity.

Kerberos International holds nine named parent IDIQs, all issued by DHS Office of Procurement Operations under total small business or woman-owned small business set-asides: the $1.095 billion multiple-award Armed Protective Security Officer Services IDIQ (awarded September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2030), the $127.4 million Tennessee PSO services contract (February 1, 2024, through January 31, 2029), the $101.9 million Western Washington State PSO services contract (March 1, 2023, through February 28, 2028), the $83.75 million Pennsylvania PSO services contract (August 1, 2023, through July 31, 2028), the $78.4 million Armed Guard II Services contract in Northern Virginia (July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2028, woman-owned small business set-aside), the $73.6 million Oregon and Southwestern Washington PSO services contract (May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2028), the $71.2 million Virginia and Maryland PSO services contract (December 1, 2022, through November 30, 2027, woman-owned small business set-aside), the $59.2 million Nevada PSO services contract (September 1, 2024, through August 31, 2029), and the $45 million Washington, D.C. PSO services contract (May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2028, woman-owned small business set-aside). Combined, these vehicles carry ceiling value exceeding $680 million. Activity under the top five vehicles by task-order count ranges from 9 to 14 orders per IDIQ, with combined potential values from $21.7 million to $74 million.

Kerberos International's activity trajectory shows sustained growth followed by normalization. Federal awards increased from 6 in 2022 to peaks of 25 in both 2024 and 2025, moderating to 18 in 2026. SCI-reportable invoicing reveals sharper expansion: FY2022 reported $16.1 million across 137 FTEs; FY2023 grew to $47 million across 251 FTEs; FY2024 reached $89.1 million across 590 FTEs; FY2025 invoiced $116.9 million across 701 FTEs. This three-year trajectory (FY2022 through FY2025) represents approximately 627% revenue growth and 411% FTE expansion, driven primarily by expansion of regional DHS PSO delivery orders under existing IDIQs rather than new vehicle wins. Fourteen awards with combined potential value of $55.4 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure across the Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and Western Washington State vehicles—all material revenue anchors in the current portfolio.

Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Kerberos International operates with moderate subcontractor engagement: subcontractors account for an average of 34% of contractor hours across the portfolio, with 60 named subcontractors reported. SCI records show one subcontractor cited repeatedly on multiple orders (indicating a primary teaming relationship, though the source does not name the sub). Government-paid hourly rates cluster at a median of $54.44/hr (10th percentile $35.81/hr, 90th percentile $62.40/hr), consistent with service-contract labor standards for security officer roles across federal facility locations. In 2025, individual delivery orders invoiced rates ranging from approximately $52.70/hr (Oregon-southwestern Washington non-Social Security Administration posts) to $61.97/hr (Northern Virginia armed guard services), reflecting regional wage variation and labor-category mix.

Kerberos International operates three named subsidiaries: Kerberos Cyber, LLC (joint venture women-owned small business with for-profit LLC structure); Kermax, LLC (woman-owned small business joint venture, self-certified small disadvantaged business); and Acadia Protective Services II, LLC (woman-owned small business joint venture, self-certified small disadvantaged business). The corporate structure signals capability diversification—Kerberos Cyber's name implies potential cybersecurity or IT service scope—though the source does not describe subsidiary service portfolios or customer activity separate from the parent. In its subcontractor role, Kerberos International has engaged as a supplier to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. on three awards (September 4, 2024; August 1, 2024; June 20, 2024) involving portable power supplies and radio communications equipment, suggesting limited secondary-supplier exposure outside the PSO services primary business.

Kerberos International competes predominantly within total small business and woman-owned small business set-asides. Of 125 prime awards, the large majority carry set-aside designations: total small business (approximately 60 awards), woman-owned small business (approximately 50 awards), and competitive 8(a) (approximately 15 awards). Full-and-open delivery orders (no set-aside) appear but represent a smaller fraction. This set-aside-heavy posture reflects the company's strategic positioning within DHS regional vehicles, which are themselves reserved for small business concerns. The WOSB and small disadvantaged business certifications anchor most of the contract vehicle portfolio and task-order pipeline.
