What We Found in One Glance

Connected Logistics (LOGC2 Inc.) is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business that has quietly become one of the most vehicle-dense small federal contractors in the defense IT space. They hold all three OASIS+ pools (SDVOSB, SB, Unrestricted), prime positions on ITES-3S, DLA JETS 2.0, GSA POLARIS, and a VA T4NG2 $60.7B joint venture.

Founded in 2007 by Army LTC (Ret.) Forrest Burke, the former CTO of Army G-4 who, per company materials, developed the Logistics Common Operational Picture and Battle Command Sustainment Support System. The company operates at the intersection of logistics and networking.

But here's what the data actually says. Connected Logistics is not just a services company. They manufacture and sell hardware (militaryitv.com, transponders under NGT-II), hold a GSA Schedule (GS-35F-0204X, active since 2011), a TS facility clearance, and CMMC L2 certification (110/110 controls MET per company release). They list "PAE Command and Control" as a client, the Army's new Portfolio Acquisition Executive construct (now formally CPE C3N).

Context for This Research

Outside-in research compiled for Chris Choby. Public data only. The goal is to give a mirror, not a pitch. Tell us where the data is wrong.

Critical Discovery: PAE ≠ PAE Incorporated

Connected Logistics lists "PAE Command and Control" as a government client. This is NOT the legacy contractor PAE Incorporated (now Amentum).

PAE is the Army's new Portfolio Acquisition Executive construct, a sweeping October 2025 reorganization creating 6 PAEs that replace program-centric PEOs with capability-area accountability. Each PAE owns requirements, S&T, contracting, testing, sustainment, and international sales. As of 2026, PEO C3N has been formally restructured into Capability Program Executive C3N (CPE C3N) under this framework.

Why This Matters Connected Logistics has direct client relationships with the Army's new acquisition power centers. The six PAEs control billions in procurement with streamlined contracting authority. This is not a legacy relationship, it's positioning for the Army's acquisition future.
