A subcontract-first, backfill-focused operating model

We integrate seamlessly into prime-led teams to support execution, continuity, and performance.

Subcontract-Focused by Design

Phrontis Acquisition Services operates exclusively as a subcontract SETA partner.

We align to:

  • Prime contract structures

  • Task order leadership

  • Prime staffing, onboarding, and performance processes

Our role is to strengthen execution — not create noise.


Our primary value to primes is continuity.

We are structured to:

  • Support urgent or near-term staffing gaps

  • Maintain execution momentum during transitions

  • Reduce disruption when seats turn over

We prioritize speed, fit, and clearance reality over volume.

Backfill-First Posture


We focus on senior cleared professionals who:

  • Require minimal oversight

  • Integrate quickly into existing teams

  • Understand IC and DoD operating environments

  • Are comfortable supporting, not leading, prime programs

This reduces ramp time and management burden for primes.

Senior-Only Staffing


Engagement Flow

Typical Engagement:

  1. Prime identifies a staffing or continuity requirement

  2. We align on labor category, clearance needs, and timing

  3. Candidates are screened for technical fit and execution maturity

  4. We support onboarding and continuity as part of the prime team


What Primes Can Expect

  • Clear communication and fast response

  • Conservative, realistic staffing commitments

  • Alignment to task order priorities

  • A continuity-first mindset

We will tell you quickly if we can support a requirement.
