About Us

​
Founded in 2014, ASJ Solutions, formally ASJ IT Services, LLC, is a consulting company that serves Federal/State and Local governments, and commercial efforts. By forging partnerships and mentor-protégé relationships with larger corporations, we have been very successful with fast-tracking our internal processes and certifications, allowing us to reach our goal of SBA 8(a) status, one year ahead of schedule, in 2017.
ASJ Solutions brings a tried and proven team of experienced professionals with talents and resources focused on proven management processes. While employed at Lockheed Martin, the three founding officers were responsible for leading a 300+ FTE IT services effort for a DOD Combatant Command resulting in an outstanding contract rating being the only DOD command to achieve such status.
