As a unique digital agency, Oddball supports federal clients, from design to deployment, using scalable software solutions that are purpose-built for the citizens they serve and the workforces they enable.
Experienced teams of full-stack developers, human-centered designers and program managers offer a proven record of delivery excellence in enterprise DevOps, cloud migration, user experience, continuous integration, continuous delivery and continuous deployment.
VETERANS AFFAIRS (VA)
Oddball initially supported the Department of Veteran Affairs Digital Services (DVSA) by subcontracting on the VETS.gov contract, successfully building and operating the VETS.gov website. This led to the VFS Platform (VSP) contract in 2019, where we provided essential infrastructure for VA.gov. After completing the VSP in 2022, Oddball won the VA.gov recompete contract, currently supporting and enhancing the platform in alignment with VA’s next-generation vision. As a prime and subcontractor under the CEDAR IDIQ, we continue modernizing UIs, components, and systems for VA.gov, contributing to the VA Digital Modernization Initiative.
Program Highlights: Oddball’s work on numerous VA contracts has improved the Veteran and VA customer experience. Notable achievements include managing the VA Design System, creating the Patient Check-In Tool for virtual appointments during COVID-19, modernizing authentication on VA.gov, and developing the VA Notify platform for secure and cohesive communications to Veterans.
CENTERS for MEDICARE & MEDICAID
SERVICES (CMS)
Oddball’s involvement with CMS began in 2019 under the Website Development Services (WDS) contract, contributing to the modernization of healthcare.gov. Since then, we’ve undertaken various modernization initiatives for CMS, impacting beneficiaries, providers, physicians, and clinicians. Through contracts like MAX, BDAMAX, CWF, FISS, and MCS, as both prime and subcontractor under GSA MAS IDIQ and CMS SPARC IDIQ, we’ve modernized Medicare.gov, focusing on data integrations under the BDAMAX recompete contract. We also lead the Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) ecosystem, enhancing claims processing and adjudication in CWF, FISS, and MCS systems.
Program Highlights: Oddball spearheaded Medicare.gov’s modernization, earning Exceptional ratings in the Final CPAR for MAX. This success led to the BDAMAX recompete contract, where we continue evolving the Medicare beneficiary experience with human-centered design (HCD), enhanced authentication, and data integrations. On CWF, we boost efficiency in claims processing, meeting statutory and regulatory requirements promptly. Our work on EASi streamlines CMS’s IT governance process with an API-first, Cloud-first, and mobile-first solution featuring a microservices-based architecture.
U.S. AIR FORCE (USAF)
Oddball’s collaboration with the USAF started with the BEAM PH I SBIR contract, supporting AFSL SBRK with a tech solution aimed at overcoming barriers to developing effective business applications. Successful outcomes led to the BEAM PH III SBIR award, and we continue modernizing, deploying applications, providing Agile training, and overseeing operations and maintenance to support USAF missions.
Program Highlights: Oddball has designed, developed, and deployed mobile-first solutions for the USAF using an Agile approach. Notable achievements include enhancing the Kinderspot app for AF parents to find childcare and creating BIZINT, a web and mobile app for Contingency Contracting Officers and planners to conduct market research for USAF and joint missions.
OFFICE of PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT (OPM)
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is the primary human resources agency and personnel policy manager for the Federal Government. In partnership with OPM, we’ve undertaken projects such as the OPM.gov Website Modernization, creating a revamped and intuitive version of OPM.gov and its intranet. Our focus centers on enhancing user experience, ensuring content is organized, accessible, and credible.
Program Highlights: Oddball recently secured two contracts at OPM. One focuses on website transformation, and the other introduces new business processes and an agile, cross-functional team. The goal is to bring a human-centered design and product-focused approach to implement the future state of the Rep Payee program.
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (SEC)
The SEC contract aims to procure specialized IT services, known as “digital services,” for developing solutions using cloud-based technologies. Most SEC applications were initially developed using traditional on-premises data center setups and waterfall practices. To address modernization goals, the SEC is adopting Agile methodologies, human-centered design (HCD), and cloud-based tools. A “shift-left” approach to cybersecurity is also being embraced, empowering application development teams for risk-based decisions.
Program Highlights: Oddball recently secured the SEC BPA and obtained the SEC CF TM ACES contract which focuses on creating an accessible, fully supported data science environment, CI/CD pipelines, and implementing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).
