Secure, accessible software systems for government.
Progressivity designs, builds, modernizes, and sustains web, cloud, backend, data, and native mobile applications. Discovery and architecture through deployment and operations. Accessibility is engineered in from the first commit and delivered as evidence with the code. Principal-led delivery, with additional engineering support identified and named by proposal. No bait-and-switch, no large-firm overhead in the rate.
01What we build
Complete systems, not fragments
We take a requirement from discovery and architecture through implementation, deployment, and the years of operation that follow. Four service lines, each one we can substantiate on request. The capabilities page breaks them into six competencies with the supporting detail.
Custom web and enterprise applications
Responsive applications for citizen-facing and internal use, built to work on any device and with assistive technology. Role-based dashboards, administrative consoles, and workflow tools designed around the people who actually do the work.
Backend services, APIs, and systems integration
Typed backend services with validated inputs at the trust boundary. Data modeling, indexing, and access rules written alongside the schema. Integration with commercial and third-party systems, including payments, identity, mapping, and scheduled data feeds.
Modernization, sustainment, and O&M
Taking over applications that must keep working, including undocumented ones. Dependency and platform currency, incremental modernization, and documented runbooks. Roughly 80% of federal IT spending goes to operating systems that already exist (GAO-25-107795), which is where reliability is an evaluation criterion rather than a marketing adjective.
Accessibility engineering
Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA assessment, remediation with before and after evidence, and VPAT preparation, across web and native platforms. We wire automated conformance checks into the delivery pipeline, so the artifact a reviewer asks for at the end already exists from week one.
02Why us
What actually differentiates us
Written the way an evaluator reads. Claims we can substantiate, not adjectives.
Accessibility is the deliverable, not a checkbox
We build to WCAG 2.1 AA and, for iOS, the DHS Section 508 Compliance Test Process for iOS Mobile Applications. Conformance evidence ships with the code. This site is built and tested to the same standard, and you can verify it yourself in about five minutes. See the statement.
Deep Apple-platform experience, not an Apple-only shop
Nine years of professional iOS engineering including two years as a software engineer at Apple. We bring that depth to field, mobile, and accessibility-intensive systems. It is a specialization we are unusually strong in. It is not the boundary of what we build.
The people who bid are the people who build
Principal-led delivery, with additional engineering support identified and named by proposal. The résumés in our proposal are the engineers on your contract.
We publish our limits
No CUI, no classified work, no cost-reimbursement contracts. A vendor who says yes to everything costs you a failed award and a re-solicitation. Our limits are on the capabilities page, stated as plainly as the capabilities.
03How to buy
What we own, and where we team
A principal-led team can own a bounded system end to end. We are direct about which of the two a requirement is, because guessing wrong costs you a schedule.
Bounded systems we can own as prime
- A responsive web application or internal workflow tool with a defined user base
- An API or backend service, including its data model and access rules
- A Section 508 assessment or remediation of an existing web or native application
- A native iOS or macOS application
- Sustainment and O&M of an application already in service
- Modernization of an aging application delivered in increments
Where we work as a subcontractor or teaming partner
- Enterprise programs larger than a principal-led team can staff
- Work requiring federal past performance we do not yet hold
- Requirements involving CUI, a clearance, or cost-reimbursement accounting
- Programs needing 24/7 operations or a large sustainment bench
- Pursuits where our accessibility practice is a scored discriminator and we carry the 508 volume
| Path | Range | What it looks like, and what we need from you |
|---|---|---|
| Government purchase card | Up to $15,000 | Micro-purchase. A scoped assessment, a 508 remediation sprint, or a fixed-price prototype. We need a scope paragraph and a card. No solicitation required. |
| Simplified acquisition | $15,000 – $350,000 | The small-business reserve under FAR 19.502-2(a). Most of our work sits here. We need your RFQ or a sources-sought notice. We respond inside your stated window. |
| Subcontract to a prime | Any size | We support web, accessibility, data, and Apple-platform scopes on your team. Principal-led inquiries, NDA coordination, and workshare planning. On completion of SAM registration we qualify as a similarly situated small business for your subcontracting-limit math. |
| Teaming or joint venture | Any size | For pursuits where our niche is a scored discriminator. We will tell you plainly what we can and cannot carry. |
| State & local | Any size | Pursuing Arizona state, county, municipal, and district opportunities. State and local cycles are typically shorter than federal ones. |
Where we are today, stated plainly. SAM.gov registration is in process. UEI and CAGE will be published here the day they issue. We have no federal CPARS record yet. Under FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), agencies may consider the past performance and experience of key personnel. That record is on the team page, in full, with nothing dressed up.
04Proof
