About us

Solutions That Connect

We partner with federal agencies to achieve their missions through improved performance, streamlined operations and enhanced service delivery. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, we support more than a dozen agencies including Veterans Affairs, Transportation, Defense, Homeland Security and the National Science Foundation. We specialize in applying technology, creativity and human-centered services to optimize mission delivery and improve experiences for millions of people who count on government services every day. Founded in 2012 as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned and Woman-Owned Small Business, Aptive has since grown into a large public sector delivery partner with more than 300 employees nationwide and a passion for public service innovation.
