OBXtek selected as the fastest growing small-business contractor in the Washington Technology Fast 50, 2nd year in a row

For the second year in a row, OBXtek has captured the No. 1 spot on Washington Technology’s Fast 50 list as the company continues to experience rapid growth. "For the most part, things are business as usual without many changes from last year," said CEO Bruce (Ed) Jesson, but the company has come a long way from its beginnings, when it started out as a sole proprietorship and was simply a consulting firm.

Business rapidly expanded upward once OBXtek became incorporated, and switched its focus to IT engineering support, program management, software development and testing, and information security. OBXtek recently won a contract supporting the State Department, which was only just the beginning: "We won several other contracts after that," Jesson stated, "mainly with civilian agencies." Since last year, OBXtek has grown in size with an additional 188 employees, bringing the total to 362 employees.
