Force 3 has several hundred clients, approximately 170 employees, and approximately $260 million in revenue, with their headquarters in Crofton, Maryland and an office in the Washington, D.C. area.

Specifically, Force 3 is a prime contract holder for GSA Schedule 70, NETCENTS-2, SEWP V, NIH ECS III, CIO-CS, and was just awarded the ITES-3H.
