We Are Committed

In 1983, we were only a handful of employees working on a basket worth of projects in a small Rockville, Maryland, office. We were small, but capable.

Today, we number in the thousands and provide everything from reagents to refrigerators. Working around the world, we have grown to support all sizes of requirements and tasks—from small short-turnaround projects to multi-site, complex research programs for the Army, Navy and Air Force. Our partners trust us to staff and manage research programs successfully.

Henry Martin “Scoop” Jackson was a U.S. congressman and senator from the state of Washington from 1941 until his death in 1983.

For more than 30 years, Jackson was deeply involved in the major issues of American political life, from the drama of the Army-McCarthy hearings in 1954 to the liberation of Soviet Jewry in the 1970s. He became an acknowledged authority on national security, energy and environmental issues.

Jackson sponsored the legislation that established the Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, which was named in his honor after his death. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom on June 26, 1984.
