Chainbridge Solutions announced today that it has been named a 2026 Red Hot GovCon company by DCA Live. The recognition highlights fast-growing firms contributing to the Washington region’s government contracting community.
Chainbridge was recognized alongside fellow awardees at the 2026 Red Hot GovCon event on July 15 in Arlington, Virginia. The event brought together founders, executives, and industry leaders from across the federal market.
“We’re honored to receive this recognition at a time when Chainbridge is expanding how we support federal missions,” said Aarti Smith, Founder and CEO of Chainbridge Solutions. “This award reflects the work our teams do every day to support the security and success of our customers’ missions.”
Now in its 16th year, Chainbridge continues to build on its founding mission of developing software that helps protect people. The company brings together experienced technologists and mission experts to develop secure systems that strengthen workforce trust, improve operational visibility, and support decisions where speed and accountability matter.
Chainbridge’s recent momentum includes continued investment in Perseus™, its cloud-native Personnel Security SaaS solution built by PERSEC experts, and the company’s selection for the NASA SEWP VI Category C contract. Together, these developments expand the ways federal agencies can access Chainbridge’s capabilities and modernize the operational systems behind critical mission work.
Across its products and services, Chainbridge supports federal agencies through Personnel Security, application development, systems integration, cloud engineering, data and analytics, and Applied AI. The company remains focused on closing the gap between legacy systems and modern federal mission demands.
