In 2003, Imagine One earned 8(a) certification and received the Fantastic Fifty award the following year. By 2005, the company had grown to more than 100 employees, laying the groundwork for long-term success.

Imagine One’s rapid growth continued in 2006, expanding to 150 employees and earning recognition on the Washington Technology Fast Fifty list in 2008. By that time, the workforce had grown to 230 employees. During this period, the company celebrated its 10-year anniversary, expanded its corporate headquarters in Lexington Park, Maryland, and grew its operational footprint in Charleston, South Carolina, and Norfolk, Virginia.

The company continued to expand its prime contract portfolio in 2014 with two additional NAVAIR awards and transitioned to employee ownership. This momentum carried through 2015 with an SBIR Phase III award and continued in 2016 with four additional prime contracts supporting NAVAIR and NAVSEA. In 2017, Imagine One secured its largest prime contract to date in support of NAVSEA.

2021–2025
From 2021 through 2025, Imagine One continued to strengthen its position as a trusted Navy partner while deepening its employee-owned culture. In 2021, the company successfully recompeted a NAVSEA prime contract and became majority employee owned. In 2022, Imagine One was awarded a NIWC Atlantic prime contract, followed in 2023 by a second NIWC Atlantic prime and a NAVAIR prime contract. That same year, the company celebrated its 25-year anniversary and achieved CMMI Level 3 appraisal for both Development and Services.
