From Military Service to Contract Management Excellence

A5N Prime LLC was co-founded by service-disabled veterans Aaron Getter and Nick Holmes — Managing Partners who recognized that the skills forged in military service translate directly to the demands of federal contract management: planning under pressure, managing complex logistics, leading diverse teams, and executing missions with zero margin for error.

What started as a small operation has grown into a multi-state contract management firm with W-2 employees in 5 states, company-owned equipment, and a portfolio spanning multiple federal agencies. We've managed everything from year-round grounds maintenance at VA medical centers and Army Reserve installations, to portable chiller rentals supporting hospital operations, to recurring grounds work at VA national cemeteries.

Our growth is deliberate. We don't chase volume for volume's sake. Every contract we take on gets the full weight of our management infrastructure, our subcontractor networks, and our shared leadership attention. That's why our clients come back, and why our past performance record is our strongest marketing tool.

What Drives A5N Prime

Mission First

Every contract is a mission. We plan thoroughly, execute precisely, and don't stop until the mission is complete. Our clients' success is our success.

Integrity Always

We do what we say we're going to do. No excuses, no shortcuts. Our word is our bond, whether it's a handshake or a federal contract.

People Matter

Our W-2 employees, our subcontractors, and our clients are all part of the A5N Prime team. We invest in relationships because they're the foundation of everything we build.
