Two firms already building the authenticated, Veteran-facing experiences on VA.gov: Coforma’s prime SPRUCE delivery and Coa’s OCTO benefits work, joined as one small-business prime.

Core Capabilities

VA.gov Veteran-facing digital services

Authenticated benefits, claims, and appeals experiences on VA.gov, through VA’s OCTO and the SPRUCE vehicle. USWDS-compliant, Section 508 accessible.

Human-centered design & research

Discovery research, service design, content strategy, and usability testing that ground delivery in evidence about real users.

AI-accelerated engineering

Agentic, AI-assisted development that compresses delivery timelines, with the production-grade testing, CI, and observability software demands.

Healthcare & applied AI

Explainable, auditable AI with humans in the loop, plus federal healthcare-AI depth from a board-certified physician informaticist.

Past Performance

A newly formed venture. Each engagement is its member firm’s own work, credited.
