MILLSBORO, Del. - PennZone -- Aquia Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) specializing in cloud and cybersecurity professional services, today announced it has been named an Elev8 GovCon honoree by OrangeSlices AI.

Contractors supporting the federal government are helping to drive forward some of the most critical missions across the United States and abroad today. While many established companies have long been aligned with the missions of their focus agencies, this alone is no longer enough. Today, organizations must not only bring to the table efficient and effective solutions, but also a corporate culture that demonstrates their own excellence, making them a beacon for talent, partners, and clients.

Elev8 GovCon nominees were evaluated against the following key areas:

• Corporate culture
• Mission focus
• Ethical execution as a partner
• Employee focus
• Engagement within the broader community
• Embracing philanthropy
• Evidence of inclusivity
• Exemplification of innovation

"We are deeply honored by this recognition alongside some of the best and brightest firms in government contracting," said David Maskeroni, CEO and co-founder of Aquia Inc. "It is confirmation that we are on the right track, and we will continue to earn the trust of our government partners in the coming year."
