Houston, TX · Government agencies & mission-driven orgs
You already bought
the software.
Nothing between it
was ever built.
We build the layer that connects the systems a government agency or mission-driven organization already runs — accessible, on schedule, in your own environment. Fixed price, and the source code is yours at the end, so the people you serve keep the work.
Conducting market research, working a requirement, or evaluating a bid? The capability statement has the registrations, the insurance position and who to call, on one page. Federal buyer or prime? Start here — NAICS, Section 508 and how small a task we will take.
Bottleneck Fire review has held 14 of the last 30 permits past target. Visible here before it is a complaint at a council meeting.
How agencies contract with us.
Start with a purchase order or a subcontract. NAICS, NIGP, SAM status and the Texas paperwork are on the procurement page.
- Available
Direct award
Purchase order or award under your bid threshold — commercial, state and local.
- Available
Subcontract
We work under a prime that already holds the vehicle, including on federal work.
- In progress
Federal prime
SAM.gov registration is in progress. We finish it before we bid as a prime.
Almost never a missing product. Almost always the space between the ones you have.
-
Systems that do not talk.
A body buys a permitting system, a finance system and a records system across twelve years from three vendors, and the process runs on people moving data between them by hand.
-
Reporting nobody can produce.
The number the board asks for exists, in three places, in three shapes. Producing it takes a week, and by the time it lands the question has moved on.
-
A counter queue that is really a software problem.
Intake on paper, review in email, status by telephone. The queue at the counter is the visible part of a process nobody designed.
-
A migration nobody wants to start.
The system works, the vendor is gone, the database is a version nobody supports, and every quote to move it has been for a replacement nobody can fund.
The part that ends up in the minutes
A public body has usually bought the right software already. What it has never been sold is the work of making any of it fit how the office actually runs, because that work is different in every building and no product company can package it.
Four categories, plus accessibility on every public-facing build.
-
Education systems
K-12 districts, education service centers and education agencies
Student data that lives in six systems, reporting that eats a week every cycle, and parent-facing tools nobody wants to open.
-
Permitting and licensing
Cities, counties and civilian regulatory agencies
Permit intake on paper, plan review in email, inspections in a spreadsheet, and a counter queue that exists because none of them talk.
-
Data and systems integration
Any agency running more than one system of record
The layer between the systems you already bought. Migrations, interfaces, and the reporting nobody can produce because the data is in three places.
-
Records and case workflow
Clerks, records programs and legal teams at federal, state and local agencies
FOIA and public records requests answered by hand, retention schedules tracked in a binder, and decades of paper nobody can search.
-
Accessibility
WCAG 2.1 AA — exceeds Section 508
Section 508 requires WCAG 2.0 AA. Public-facing work is built to 2.1 AA, which exceeds it, and tested with a keyboard and a screen reader before handover. VPAT on request.
Five things that are true of every engagement.
- Fixed price
- Agreed before work starts and invoiced against milestones. No hourly billing and no change-order arithmetic.
- Your infrastructure
- Built and deployed in the entity’s own cloud accounts, under the entity’s own contracts.
- You own the source
- Delivered to your repository under a license permitting unrestricted use, modification and resale. No seat licenses.
- 90 days warranty
- Defects are ours for ninety days after handover, at no cost.
- Nothing switches off
- If the relationship ends the system keeps running. There is no kill switch and no renewal you are hostage to.
If an off-the-shelf product does what you need, buy the product. We will say so on the first call, and we would rather say it then than after a procurement.
After handover, operations and maintenance is how the system stays running — $1,000 – $1,500 / mo to keep it alive, $5,000 – $8,000 / mo if you want it to keep moving. Agencies buy sustainment, not just launches.
