ABOUT US
BlackFish was founded on three guiding principles:
CUSTOMER FIRST. CUSTOMER FIRST. CUSTOMER FIRST.
BlackFish is an 8(a)-certified small business offering mission-specific professional services to federal, state, and commercial clients. Whether through applying innovative IT solutions or providing healthcare management support services, BlackFish consultants use their problem-solving skills to turn challenges into opportunities. ISO 9001:2015 certified and appraised at CMMI Services V2.0 maturity level 2, all of these services are supported by high quality, standardized, and repeatable processes.
In 2018, BlackFish acquired AMTIS, Inc. in order to leverage its proven structure to provide a solid platform for continued growth. This acquisition combined the talented staff, experience, and capabilities of both firms. AMTIS brings extensive experience in training and evaluation, professional, and business processing services.
Together, BlackFish and AMTIS uphold these fundamental principles:
It’s our job to make sure that the customer is right every time.
It’s our job to overachieve within budget at all times. No exceptions.
It’s our job to represent and execute with 100% integrity, 100% of the time.
It’s our job to effectively communicate in a timely manner. No excuses.
It’s our job to make our customers look good. Not ourselves.
