LinQuest Corporation of Los Angeles, CA announced on November 5 that it has completed the acquisition of The Perduco Group, a high-growth and leading provider of advanced data analytics, data architecting and model-based simulation to defense and civilian agencies. Together, Perduco and LinQuest will deliver enhanced industry-leading decision analytics, operations research, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and mission planning capabilities. This comprehensive services offering will strengthen the combined organization’s market position as a trusted technology solutions partner for military and intelligence community customers.
“Perduco’s corporate values and proven track record of excellence
strongly complement LinQuest’s core values and commitment to excellence in a
customer-first approach,” said Tim Dills, CEO of LinQuest. “This acquisition
will create a comprehensive suite of solutions to provide our customers with
specialized tools to achieve mission-critical objectives more effectively than
ever before.”
The acquisition brings LinQuest an expanded contract portfolio
with multiple contract paths for its defense customer base. Contract vehicles
include the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), the Small Business
Innovation Research (SBIR) program and the DoD’s Rapid Innovation Fund. Additional
active contracts support The Air Force Research Laboratory, the Air Force
Materiel Command, the Air Education and Training Command and the intelligence
community. Perduco’s existing customer base has limited overlap with LinQuest’s
current footprint and includes a number of promising opportunities for
LinQuest.
With the support of its majority investment partners, Madison
Dearborn Partners and CoVant Management, LinQuest has focused on growth by
scaling its R&D capabilities and expanding its customer offerings. The
acquisition of Perduco is consistent with this strategy and furthers the
company’s leadership in space systems technology solutions.
“We’re proud to be joining industry-leader LinQuest, a company
that shares our commitment to technical innovation and customer experience,”
said Stephen Chambal, CEO of The Perduco Group. “Together, we will deliver a seamless
and holistic experience for our military and intelligence community customers
designed to more effectively meet their needs on the battlefield and at home.”
Perduco and its leadership team will operate as a business unit within LinQuest, providing focused and uninterrupted support to customers.
