Acclaim Technical Services (ATS) is an employee-owned firm founded in 2000 that provides operational products, services, and solutions to U.S. defense, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies. Structured as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) company since 2013, ATS employs over 500 people across offices in Maryland, Virginia, and Georgia, with operational reach both within and outside the continental United States.
The company's work spans a range of technical disciplines serving federal customers:
- Intelligence analysis
- Software and systems engineering
- Defensive cyber operations
- Virtual reality solutions

ATS has grown partly through acquisition, having added Ayovee, Global Consulting Services, Entegra Systems, OASIC Engineering, and Alder Technology to its portfolio over the years. The company has received consistent recognition as a top workplace in the Washington D.C. area.
As an ESOP, ownership is distributed among employees, directly linking individual performance to the company's broader outcomes. The firm's mission-focused orientation reflects the nature of its work supporting critical needs across the U.S. federal government.
