ITLP recognized as 2024 Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business of the Year
OAK RIDGE, TENNESSEE (June 10, 2025) – The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has
named IT Lab Partners, LLC (ITLP) the recipient of its 2024 Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small
Business (SDVOSB) of the Year Award in recognition of outstanding work as a small business contractor.
ITLP is a joint venture comprised of Information Technology Resources, Inc. (ITR), Cadre5, LLC, and
XCEL Engineering, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of MartinFederal Consulting, LLC (MartinFed).
Since its inception in 2021, ITLP has placed more than 200 highly skilled professionals at ORNL in
support of its Information Technology Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA).
“From the outset, ITLP was instrumental in helping me make critical hires that broadened our capabilities
to include User Experience (UX) research, product strategy, User Interface (UI) design, accessibility,
prototyping, and front-end development,” said Brooks Herring, Head of User Experience for ORNL’s
Information Technology Services Directorate. “As project demands increased, ITLP provided top-tier
contract staff to complement our existing UT-Battelle team, allowing us to efficiently stand-up multiple
work streams. Their ability to identify and place skilled UX practitioners has significantly elevated the
quality, velocity, and overall impact of our work. ITLP has been a critical asset in our journey to building
a world-class UX practice.”
