# Booz Allen Hamilton The consulting firm that functions as an outsourced arm of the US intelligence community (NYSE: BAH), headquartered in McLean, Virginia. The overwhelming majority of its revenue comes from federal contracts, and its staff hold security clearances at a scale that makes it less a vendor than a shadow workforce — Edward Snowden was a Booz Allen contractor at the NSA when he took the documents. It won a track-two position on the August 2026 [[DHS $1.5B Counter-UAS IDIQ Award]]. For the KB, Booz Allen is the purest case of the [[Revolving Door]] as a business model rather than an individual career choice: the firm's product is people who used to work in government, sold back to government at a markup, which makes the traffic between agency and contractor a revenue line instead of an ethics problem. > Status: stub — expand with the Snowden episode, the False Claims Act settlement history, and its position relative to the venture-backed entrants. ## See Also - [[CACI International]] - [[Leidos]] - [[Revolving Door]] - [[DHS $1.5B Counter-UAS IDIQ Award]]
