Data is critical to effective decision making, and 18F is ready to help your agency and the public get more value from your data. We work with you shoulder to shoulder, building up code and trust along the way to deliver effective, easy-to-use, data-driven applications.

We’re there throughout the lifecycle of a project to help your team:
• Identify and communicate the problem you’re trying to solve
• Get stakeholders on the same page
• Define the scope of the initial version for testing
• Build or contract out the prototype
• Scale up to production, including obtaining an ATO

Bring your agency’s regulations into the 21st century by making them readable, engaging, and easy to understand. 18F can work with you to pull plain text from the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations, parse it into data, and publish the regulation with the eRegulations interface — no more pages of dense PDFs with tiny text.

The eRegulations platform also clarifies regulations by bringing in related information, such as definitions, interpretations, and regulatory history. You can even see how a regulation has changed over time by comparing different versions in a red-line fashion. 18F can customize the interface and branding to mirror your agency’s profile, and we can also add special features to address your specific needs.

During a Path Analysis, 18F translates your problem into an approach and helps align your stakeholders on the path forward. Path Analysis typically last eight weeks and cost a maximum of $195,000. This small investment gives you options on how to move forward and a roadmap that allows a technical team, whether from 18F or elsewhere, to begin finding the right solution efficiently.

18F, as part of the General Services Administration, partners with federal agencies to build and buy digital services that improve the user experience of government.

Together, we create a unfied team by pairing our technical expertise with your program knowledge. Partner with 18F to deliver projects that fulfill federal rules, stay within budget, and provide excellent value to the public.

Get better results from your technology acquisitions by partnering with the GSA’s Technology Transformation Services. The acquisition and product experts in our Office of Acquisition can help you create a contracting strategy that reduces risk, quickly delivers value to users, and gives you the technical expertise to better manage vendors.

We’ll work together from scoping to post-award management to ensure that you’re confident in the outcome of your acquisition. We can help introduce agile development methods into your procurements, which means we’ll help you break contracts into smaller chunks to reduce risk. By partnering with TTS, your team can build the necessary skills to solicit and manage technology projects with agile vendors and continue to procure high-quality, lower-risk products.

If your federal agency is looking for a way to reduce the risk of software procurement while ensuring flexibility, then consider working with the Technology Transformation Service’s (TTS) Office of Acquisition.

Our team of design, technology, and contracting experts can help you scope your project, access a qualified vendor on our Agile Blanket Purchase Agreement, and collaboratively manage the development of your product.

Today, there are hundreds of identity systems across government with little to no reuse of accounts. Login.gov provides and supports simple and secure access to public-facing federal consumer services and information,
while protecting consumer privacy. With one login.gov account, users can sign in to multiple government agencies. Our goal is to make managing federal benefits, services and applications easier and more secure.

The Design System was created by the government, for the government. It’s currently implemented on hundreds of government sites, with an audience of more than 26 million monthly users. It has also been recommended by The White House and OMB for all government agencies to ensure a consistent look and feel of their public-facing digital services.

Why you should use the Design System:
• Responsive – Build once for any device.
• Flexible – Works for any site or application, no matter how complex.
• Reusable – Provides a consistent, trusted look and feel across all government sites.
• Accessible – Supports all users (including Section 508 compliance) out of the box.
• Compliant – Ensures your code and design adhere to current OMB guidance.

If you’re building a new product or rethinking an existing one, 18F is ready to work with you. We engage in all types of projects, from internal systems to public-facing websites. To scope our partnerships for maximum value, we work in stages.
