KEVADIA
Public Sector

Modern software for state & local government.

We help state and local agencies, school districts, and public-sector teams ship modern, accessible software — without the layered subcontractors and the year-long discovery decks.

How We Engage
Credentials // Certifications

NEW JERSEY CERTIFIED.

Eligible for New Jersey state and local set-aside contracts — and for small-business credit on prime contracts that count SBE/MBE participation.

NJ SBE

Small Business Enterprise

Certified by the State of New Jersey — eligible for SBE set-asides and small-business preferences.

NJ MBE

Minority Business Enterprise

Certified by the State of New Jersey — eligible for MBE set-asides and supplier-diversity programs.

Audience // Who We Serve

STATE & LOCAL, FIRST.

We're focused on agencies and institutions where a small, senior team can move the needle quickly — not where a 500-person prime spends two years on a discovery phase.

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, dashboards for public-health agencies and clinics.

Transit & Infrastructure

Operational tooling, telemetry, and rider-facing apps for transit authorities.

Output // What We Build

FOUR LANES WE'RE GOOD AT.

Constituent Portals & Apps

Modern, accessible front-doors for the people you serve — replacing brittle legacy forms with mobile-first experiences that meet WCAG out of the gate.

AI Casework & Triage

LLM-assisted intake, eligibility checks, document classification, and language access — designed to keep 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.

Edge // Why A Small Team

FEWER LAYERS.
MORE SHIPPING.

The big primes are good at compliance theater. We're good at writing software that works.

01

Senior Engineers, Not Layered Subcontractors

The person on your call is the person writing the code. No project managers translating between you and a team you've never met. Smaller blast radius, faster decisions, real accountability.

02

Pilots, Not Paper

We'd rather ship a working pilot in 6–10 weeks than spend that time on requirements documents. You see real software early, decide whether to keep going, and we adjust.

03

Honest About What We Don't Have

We're a small US-based studio — not a prime with a vehicle wall. If your procurement needs something we don't yet hold, we'll tell you, and we'll work as a subcontractor or partner where it makes sense.

Protocol // Standards & Approach

WHAT WE COMMIT TO.

We don't claim certifications we don't hold. Here's what we do build into every engagement by default — and we're happy to talk about specific frameworks (NIST 800-53 alignment, state accessibility laws, agency-specific requirements) on a call.

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. No offshoring of code or customer data without explicit consent.

Interface // How To Engage

THREE WAYS WE WORK.

Direct Project or Program

Run directly 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. You set the scope and term; we bring the engineering.

Subcontractor on a Prime

We work as a subcontractor under a prime contractor that already holds the relevant vehicle. We bring the engineering; the prime holds the contract. Common for larger or longer programs.

Embedded Advisory

Senior engineering review for an in-flight project — architecture, AI strategy, vendor evaluation, or unsticking a stalled build. Short engagements, sharp output.
