For government
Software and AI for government, on contracts you can use now
Federal, state and local agencies can hire us through Maryland's Consulting and Technical Services (CATS+) contract, SAM.gov, or an existing contract, so work can start in weeks.
We have worked on government software since 2008, starting with the Defense Acquisition University's learning system. We have worked with the DC Department of Public Works since 2016, and we were prime contractor on two state pandemic responses.
Who this is for
- Agency technology leaders
- You need a contractor who understands AI and your records, security and review rules.
- Department heads
- Public works, transit, parks, sanitation, public health and resident services, where requests wait in a queue.
- Prime contractors
- A subcontractor for the AI and software work on your contract.
What we build
- Resident request intake
- Requests arrive by phone, form, email and app, in the resident's own words. The system sorts each request, sends it to the right team, and drafts a first reply. A person reviews the requests that need one.
- AI for department operations
- The internal work that keeps a department running: assigning routes, confirming that a service was done, and matching records between systems that were not designed to work together.
- Document processing
- Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, permits, contracts and invoices. This work takes time from staff who were hired to do something else.
- AI governance and assessment
- Alignment with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) AI Risk Management Framework, and the documents your chief information officer needs to approve a system.
How to hire us
Agencies can hire us through any of these today.
- Maryland CATS+
- All ten functional areas. Maryland agencies, and the local governments that can use the contract, hire us with a task order under it.
- SAM.gov
- Registered and current, with a Unique Entity ID and a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code. For federal civilian work, as prime contractor on small awards or as a subcontractor to a larger prime.
- Maryland MBE and SBE
- We are a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Small Business Enterprise (SBE) in Maryland. When a contract has an MBE or SBE participation goal, our share of the work counts toward it.
- Extending an existing contract
- An existing contract can sometimes carry new work as a sole-source extension. We have done this with DC, and we know what the contracting officer needs to see.
Results
- DC Public Works, since 2016
- We have worked with the DC Department of Public Works without a break since July 2016, through several chief information officers and a pandemic. About 100 million readings from a 200-vehicle fleet, joined with a dozen agency systems in one live data warehouse.
- Two state pandemic responses
- As prime contractor for Maryland and Delaware: 4.2 million vaccinations processed, 45 million messages sent and received for the two state health departments, and a state website rebuilt in four working days to handle 150,000 requests a minute.
- Experience with sensitive data
- We built and ran Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) infrastructure for the Maryland Department of Health. It met the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Level 1 benchmark and passed a state security review. We also built student case management for DC Public Schools, covered by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
The contractor is well versed in database design and system architecture.
