Our History
The Foundation of UNCOMN
Jason Carter founded “Aegis Strategies” in 2010 and quickly landed its first subcontract, which was under IBM and provided IT Portfolio Management services to USTRANSCOM. As the only member of the company, Jason worked 40+ hours a week, took business calls from the parking lot in his Volvo, and began building the business.
A Start-ups Next Steps
In 2011, Jason hired his little brother, Jeff Carter, as Employee #1 in support of a GeoDecisions subcontract. Jim Phelps, the company’s second partner, began providing his 25+ years of Army logistics and strategic planning knowledge. The company operated much like a startup, with limited systems or corporate tools; Jason ran all the accounting work through a single license of QuickBooks.
The Beginning of UNCOMN's Growth
etween January 2014 and December 2015, Nick Powers would join the company as the third partner, bringing his technological expertise across software development, cybersecurity, and cloud engineering. This time period would mark the company’s first growth phase, growing from 15 to 65 employees across the two-year period.
Aegis Strategies to UNCOMN
In 2018, recognized a need to establish a commercial consulting practice both to diversify itself and to bring new challenges to Team Members. The step into commercial consulting also led Aegis Strategies to deliberately rebrand to “UNCOMN.”
UNCOMN Scales No Man's Land
On December 4th, 2019, UNCOMN won its largest contract to date in USTRANSCOM’s Enterprise Architecture, Data, and Engineering (EADE) contract, which was a five-year $175,000,000 indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract. Winning the EADE contract set UNCOMN on a path to “scale no man’s land” and prepare for small business graduation.
UNCOMN Welcomes Bill Howard
At the beginning of 2021, Bill Howard would come on as a Partner. Bill had been with the firm since November 2014 and brought extensive knowledge of USTRANSCOM, in addition to 30 years of Army transportation expertise.
Continuous Investments for Our People
Between the EADE contract award and end of 2023, UNCOMN invested heavily into several key areas, such as the EADE campus facilities, implanting new HR systems (Kronos, and later Paycor), an ERP/accounting System (Unanet), and a Knowledge Management System (UGLInet). All of this was done in preparation for competing at scale with large businesses.
UNCOMN's Focus on Becoming the Special Forces of Tech
Now in 2024, UNCOMN enters its last year as a small business with a focus on becoming the Special Forces of Tech.

Using a model-based systems engineering approach, we communicate with stakeholders throughout, take only thoughtful actions and fine-tune as needed. This empowers us to improve processes, develop solutions and assist in implementing organizational change without compromising integrity.
