About AC5 Labs
SBA-certified SDVOSB. We source what you need and build what you cannot buy.
AC5 Labs is an Arizona-based, sole-member, SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). We run two motions. We source and resell the products a buyer needs through our extensive network of distributors and OEMs, and we build cloud, AI, and custom software when off-the-shelf is not enough. We fulfill by drop-ship and direct from the manufacturer, so we carry no warehouse and keep pricing competitive.
AC5 Labs serves federal agencies, state and local governments, education clients, and commercial buyers from Vail, Arizona. Certified SDVOSB and VOSB through the SBA, eligible for SDVOSB set-aside and sole-source awards. NIST 800-171 baseline on every engagement, CMMC Level 2-ready.
What we believe
Five things that shape every engagement.
A buyer should not need one vendor to source the product and another to build the solution. One partner, one purchase order, one accountable point of contact.
AI without governance is just an expensive surprise. We roll out the controls and the measurement alongside the licenses.
The person who scopes the work should also be the person doing the work.
Fixed fees and line-itemized quotes respect the buyer. Hourly billing rewards the wrong things.
You should not have to talk to sales to find out what something costs.
Who we serve
The same capability, four markets.
Source it or build it looks the same in every market. What changes is the buying vehicle and the security baseline. For government and education buyers, distribution makes ordering simple.
Federal
Federal agencies and sub-tier contractors.
Products and builds delivered to the NIST SP 800-171 controls baseline by default. CMMC Level 2-ready from day one. Cloud workloads land in AWS GovCloud or Azure Government where FedRAMP authorization is required. AC5 holds an active SAM.gov registration and is an SBA-certified SDVOSB and VOSB.
State, local, and education
Cities, counties, towns, school districts, and authorities.
We respond to RFPs, RFQs, and sources-sought notices in SLED markets nationwide. Order through our extensive network of distributors and OEMs on the buying vehicles your team already uses. Engagements are fixed-fee or line-itemized through distribution.
Commercial mid-market
Businesses that work alongside public-sector clients.
Same capability, same support, contracted direct. Product sourcing, cloud and AI rollouts, and custom builds for the businesses that win and run government work, plus the broader commercial mid-market.
Source it or build it. One vendor for both.
