New Joint Venture Stronghold Federal Accelerates Mission Delivery and Modernization

National Consulting Partners (NCP) and Abt Global announced the launch of Stronghold Federal, a new Mentor-Protégé Joint Venture (MPJV) designed to help federal agencies translate strategy into mission delivery.

Woodbridge, Virginia  – Stronghold Federal, a new partnership between National Consulting Partners (NCP) and Abt Global, unites strategy and execution in a single accountable team, grounded in decades of experience supporting U.S. Government agencies. By combining Abt’s subject matter expertise and evidence-driven approach with NCP’s hands on-delivery strength, operational agility, and deep knowledge of complex agency environments, we help agencies move faster from concept to capability. 

"Stronghold Federal works so well because the two organizations genuinely reinforce each other," said Geoff Ames, Co-Founder and Vice President, NCP. "Abt's depth of expertise combined with NCP's agility and delivery focus gives agencies a team that can move from planning to results without losing momentum."

The joint venture offers a streamlined path to innovation. Its unified model combines the scale and institutional experience of an established federal partner with the agility and focus of a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. This model enables Stronghold Federal to deliver end-to-end solutions that accelerate progress while maintaining accountability and mission focus.

“Federal agencies are being asked to do more than ever—modernize, innovate, and deliver results at speed,” said Dorisa Yusko Harris, Vice President, Business Development, Abt Global. “Stronghold Federal brings strategy and execution together to help agencies meet that challenge and achieve measurable outcomes.”

Stronghold Federal supports agencies across digital modernization, data and analytics, enterprise transformation, and applied research—helping organizations navigate complexity, improve performance, and deliver results that matter.
