Alexandria, VA, United States, September 6, 2023 – Systems Planning & Analysis (SPA), a global leader in innovative solutions for complex national security programs, announced its acquisition of PRKK, LLC. The move is a strategic expansion of SPA’s Space & Intelligence (S&I) Division and aims to bolster the company’s capabilities in the space and intelligence sectors.

Complementary Capabilities

These capabilities will now be integrated into SPA’s comprehensive portfolio of solutions and expertise. The acquisition will enable SPA to deliver specialized analytics and engineering expertise to its national security customers.
Expanding Geographical Reach
PRKK has operations across various U.S. locations, including Washington, D.C., Colorado Springs, CO, and Vandenberg SFB, CA. This geographical reach will complement SPA’s existing operations and provide both companies with a broader client base.
A Trusted Partnership
“We are excited to have PRKK become a key contributor to SPA’s strategic expansion,” said Phil Ryan, PRKK Co-President. “SPA’s customer and mission focus, coupled with their commitment to employees, makes them a superb home for the entire PRKK family.”
