Huntsville, Alabama, is a growing hub for the government contracting market, as Beltway bandits continue to expand by opening satellite offices in the area and other small GovCons choose the location for their headquarters. It’s no surprise, either. The area is ripe for federal defense, intelligence, cyber and IT support, considering the nearby Army base, Redstone Arsenal (which also houses a growing FBI campus).
Following recent years of similar expansion, this year alone, Parry Labs announced an $8.7 million expansion of its Huntsville location, and Raytheon broke ground on its $115 million Huntsville expansion. These are just two of over 300 GovCons headquartered or located in the area, collectively bringing billions of federal dollars to the new GovCon hotspot.
WashingtonExec’s inaugural list of Top Huntsville Area Execs to Watch in 2024 highlights the executives based in Huntsville working to support the federal government close to the source, while spearheading expansion initiatives, fostering government-industry relationships, providing cutting-edge IT solutions, and advancing technology, innovation and modernization to support mission critical needs.
