Capability Statement.
Built for the public-sector clock. SAM.gov registered · CAGE on file · CMMC-aware · cleared-staff capable.

We deliver AI engineering, AI security, AI consulting, and AI strategy under FAR, the NIST AI RMF, and the budget cycle. The same bench that ships commercial — running under the controls federal buyers ask for. No subcontracting the engineering out.

§01 What we do.
Why us, specifically.

Production AI delivery — under public-sector controls.

Eight bullets on the left, six bullets on the right. We've tried to write each one so a contracting officer can scan it in fifteen seconds.

Core competencies

What we'll be on contract to do.

  • Production AI/ML system delivery. LLM applications, RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, multi-tenant SaaS, inference infrastructure.
  • AI security & red-team. Threat modeling for LLM/agent systems, prompt-injection & exfil testing, supply-chain risk on model + dataset provenance.
  • AI governance build. NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act classification, ISO 42001 alignment. AI use policy + governance charter ship together.
  • Cloud-native data platforms. AWS-native: Bedrock, SageMaker, Lambda, ECS, Step Functions. Bring-your-cloud on request.
  • Federal data ingestion & intelligence. SAM.gov, FPDS, USAspending ingestion. MongoDB / pgvector buyer-maps and entity resolution.
  • Computer vision pipelines. Re-identification, surveillance, edge GPU deployments (OSNet, InsightFace, Docker on jetson/edge).
  • Cost-routed inference. LiteLLM routing across 5+ providers, with per-tenant cost ceilings and on-prem fallback.
  • Observability & runbooks. Per-tenant traces, logs, cost. Runbooks a Tier-1 operator can follow without us in the room.
Differentiators

Why a CO would pick a small firm.

  • Operator-led. Founder ships code daily. Not a partner who hands off to subs.
  • Senior-only bench. Senior-only bench. Surge from a vetted contractor network — no pyramid leverage.
  • Fixed-scope, fixed-fee. Quote in 48 hours. No T&M scope creep, no time-and-materials drift.
  • Verifiable on GitHub. Our work is in the open: six MCP servers in prod, upstream dask contributions, eval harness libraries.
  • Cleared-staff capable. Specific levels available on engagement basis. CMMC-aware delivery as the default.
  • Full IP transfer. No vendor lock. Every engagement ends with you owning the code, the docs, and the runbook.
§02 Past performance.
Anonymized where required.

Six engagements, with numbers attached.

Where we hold the contract or have permission to name the client, we do. Where we don't, the receipts are still verifiable on reference.

Differentiator
Why a small firm beats the body shop.

The same principal who answers the phone writes the architecture diagrams, attends the demos, and signs the runbook. There is no juniorization. Your contracting officer talks to the engineer.

§04 Vehicles & teaming.
How we get on contract.

Three routes onto your contract.

As a small firm we'll prime small contracts, subcontract on existing vehicles, or team with primes for larger scope. We also pursue OTAs and direct-to-mission engagements.

Preferred vehicles · sub or team

Sub on existing.

We'll team with primes who already hold these. Strong partner network in each.

§05·Point of contact

Send the RFI.
We'll respond in business hours.

A principal monitors this inbox. Expect a substantive response — not a marketing reply. If we're not a fit for the scope, we'll say so quickly and refer to a firm that is.
