ITC Federal has acquired Apriva ISS, a division of Phoenix-based Apriva, for an undisclosed sum as part of efforts to expand its classified communications engineering and secure mobility portfolio for federal law enforcement, defense and intelligence customers.
Classified communications systems are entering a modernization cycle as agencies work to align with new quantum-resistant accreditation standards. The Potomac Officers Club’s 2026 Intel Summit on Sept. 24 will address this shift alongside broader priorities, including agentic AI, open-source intelligence, AI and quantum risk, and cybersecurity in the agentic AI era. Register now to join the conversation.
ITC Federal said Thursday it will operate the acquired business as a new division, ITC-ISS.
What Does the Acquisition Bring to ITC Federal?
The acquisition adds a prime contract position at the FBI along with a set of fielded secure mobility and communications products, including gateway and virtual private network tools, device management and monitoring software, and authentication software for credentialed access on ruggedized field hardware.
It also brings NSA Commercial Solutions for Classified, or CSfC, registration and verification support, high-assurance systems engineering, public key infrastructure services, and secure voice and data design capabilities spanning more than two decades of work for the Department of War, the intelligence community and federal law enforcement agencies.
What Is ITC-ISS?
ITC-ISS is a Phoenix-based provider of secure classified mobility and communications solutions that protect sensitive voice and data traffic carried over commercial networks. Formerly Apriva ISS, the business has served DOW, the intelligence community, federal law enforcement and allied partners since 2004, and has held NSA CSfC Trusted Integrator status since 2015.
ITC-ISS now operates as a division of ITC Federal, a Fairfax, Virginia-based provider of enterprise IT, cloud infrastructure, DevSecOps, automation and AI, federal financial systems and mission support services founded in 2006.
The team’s engineering base will remain in place under existing leadership. ITC Federal will provide business development, contracts, finance, and human resources and recruiting support, while engineers and program leadership continue to focus on mission work.
What Did ITC Federal Officials Say About the Acquisition?
ITC Federal CEO Greg Fitzgerald said the acquisition reflects the company’s commitment to the law enforcement mission and will deepen relationships with agencies such as the FBI.
“The people, expertise and real, fielded solutions offered by ITC-ISS are based on twenty years building classified communications for the most demanding environments in government. Expertise like that does not come on the market often,” added Fitzgerald, a 2026 Wash100 awardee.
Brian McElroy, senior vice president and general manager of ITC-ISS, said joining ITC Federal will provide additional scale, resources and investment to build on the team’s track record while expanding its reach across DOW, IC and federal law enforcement.
“Together, we are creating new opportunities for our people, accelerating innovation for our customers and strengthening a capability that is more important than ever to national security missions,” McElroy added.
How Does the Acquisition Align With ITC Federal’s Growth Strategy?
The Apriva ISS acquisition follows a year of expansion for ITC Federal. The company was recently awarded a spot on the Missile Defense Agency’s potential $151 billion SHIELD contract and joined the Treasury Department’s Financial Management QSMO Marketplace to support agency modernization efforts. It also secured Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification 2.0 Level 2, reinforcing its compliance posture ahead of the Apriva ISS integration.
ITC Federal has backed these milestones with leadership additions. The company named Mike Hall as vice president of proposals and appointed Jeff Haberman as vice president of national security to support its growing pursuit strategy.
In a recent Executive Spotlight interview with ExecutiveBiz, ITC Federal Chief Growth Officer Zhenia Klevitsky spoke about weighing organic growth against acquisitions as the company scales.
