ARCO Solutions, LLC
Strategic HR Leadership for Companies Built to Scale
Strategic HR Leadership for Federal Contractors Navigating Growth, Compliance, and Complexity
Federal contracting demands more from HR than most organizations realize. Workforce decisions directly affect compliance posture, delivery readiness, margin, and enterprise value. ARCO Solutions partners with government contractors that want their HR function to operate with the same discipline and foresight as their contracts, finance, and delivery teams.
We embed as executive-level HR leadership, helping GovCon firms scale intentionally, remain audit-ready, and prepare for what comes next.
Built for the GovCon Environment
ARCO brings deep, hands-on experience across the full federal contracting lifecycle, from early-stage growth through mid-tier scale and acquisition readiness. Our work spans DoD, intelligence, civilian agencies, and highly regulated contract environments.
We understand:
-
FAR, DFARS, SCA, Davis–Bacon, and OFCCP requirements
-
Cleared and uncleared workforce models
-
Labor category mapping, and workforce planning for bids and recompetes
-
Audit expectations tied to ISO, CMMI, and quality frameworks
-
The operational realities of scaling under active contracts
This is not theoretical knowledge. It is lived experience at the executive level.
