# Modern software for state & local government

> Kevadia Innovation Studio helps state and local agencies, school districts, and public-sector teams ship modern, accessible software — without layered subcontractors or year-long discovery decks. https://kevadia.com/public-sector

Kevadia is a New Jersey-based LLC, certified by the State of New Jersey as both a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), registered on SAM.gov, and self-certified as an SBA small business.

## Who we serve

- **State agencies** — departments of labor, health, transportation, revenue: modernization, AI, and data work.
- **Cities & counties** — constituent portals, permitting, 311 systems, internal tools for staff.
- **K-12 & higher ed** — student-facing apps, data warehousing, and AI tooling for districts and universities.
- **Public health** — case management, intake automation, and dashboards for agencies and clinics.
- **Transit & infrastructure** — operational tooling, telemetry, and rider-facing apps for transit authorities.

## What we build

- **Constituent portals & apps** — accessible, mobile-first front-doors that meet WCAG out of the gate.
- **AI casework & triage** — LLM-assisted intake, eligibility checks, document classification, and language access, with humans in the loop on decisions that affect people.
- **Data platforms & reporting** — pipelines, warehouses, and dashboards that turn fragmented agency data into reports you can hand to leadership and the public with confidence.
- **Legacy modernization** — retiring mainframe-era systems and untangling COBOL or VB6 stacks into maintainable, well-tested services, incrementally, without service disruptions.

## Why a small, senior team

- **Senior engineers, not layered subcontractors** — the person on your call is the person writing the code.
- **Pilots, not paper** — a working pilot in 6–10 weeks beats months of requirements documents.
- **Honest about what we don't have** — if procurement needs something we don't yet hold, we say so and work as a subcontractor or partner where it makes sense.

## Standards

- **Accessibility-first** — WCAG 2.1 AA targeted from the first sprint, not retrofitted. Plain-language by default.
- **Security practices** — TLS everywhere, encryption at rest, least-privilege access, audit logs. Security review folded into delivery.
- **US-based engineering** — all engineering done by US-based team members.

## Ways to engage

- **Direct project or program** under your agency's contracting authority — from a 6–12 week pilot to a multi-month build to a multi-year modernization or operations-and-maintenance program.
- **Subcontractor on a prime** that already holds the relevant vehicle.
- **Embedded advisory** — senior engineering review for an in-flight project.
