Our History

1984
Technomics Founded

Technomics was founded in Santa Barbara, California in 1984 to provide the Department of Defense with cost estimating and analysis services.  The truth is for the first 15 or so years, it was a stretch to call ourselves a business, as we were a very small team of experts performing the same services to the same several clients. 

2000
Crystal City Office Opened

In year 2000, many things changed. At the urging of our clients, we opened an office in Crystal City, Virginia, steps away from the Pentagon, and began to grow our business one person and one project at a time. We had no specialized skills in marketing or business development. We simply thought, if we do great work, great work will come. That was what began our unbroken record of growth.

2009
Employee Ownership

In 2009, we became one of only about 6,000 companies in the United States (out of more than 30 million business) to be employee-owned. The purpose was simple—we knew we needed to work more, smarter, and harder to deliver great outcomes year after year and that skin in the game would be a great incentive.

2018
Technomics Troy

In 2018, we opened an office in Troy, MI to better support our clients at the Detroit Arsenal. That office has continued to grow as we dedicate direct, local support to our Army clients.

2021
Technomics Canada

In 2021, we opened an office in Ottawa to directly support Canadian federal and commercial clients. Visit https://www.technomics.ca/ to learn more.

2025
Technomics ABQ

In 2025, we continued to expand by opening an office in Albuquerque, New Mexico to service our Department of Energy clients.
