The DC Metro is the largest government technology market in the world. Pentagon, HHS, VA, DHS — every major federal agency runs technology programs that are either failing audits, behind schedule, or locked into cost-plus consulting contracts with Booz Allen, Leidos, or SAIC. The DOGE review process has opened a window for lean, outcome-focused delivery.
FedRAMP authorization is the price of admission. Most engineering firms treat it as a late-phase compliance exercise. We architect FedRAMP into the system from the first infrastructure decision — choosing the right GovCloud region, enforcing FIPS-140 cryptography automatically, and generating the System Security Plan documentation as a byproduct of the build.
Defense-adjacent clients require CMMC compliance and DoD IL4/IL5 authorization. Healthcare clients in the federal space — VA, CMS, IHS — require HIPAA at the architecture level combined with FedRAMP. We operate at both intersections without slowing down.
