A New Acquisition Transformation Strategy from SECWAR.
Acquisition and procurement change is taking place at breakneck speed to equip warfighters with what they need downrange, and such change requires the right battle scars, qualifications, problem-solving abilities, and insights to unlock an advanced, digital acquisition environment.
Avum, Inc. knows a nexus of knowledge is needed to bring disruptive capabilities and business process efficiencies to government acquisition. This is why we have made a strategic focus on hiring seasoned acquisition and contracting talent to pair with our best-in-class engineering staff. Avum has built a team of expert procurement practitioners and program managers to bridge the worlds of acquisition practitioners and software development professionals. Our new acquisition and contracting subject matter expert (SME) team understands acquisition and procurement from the lens of many buying and selling organizations, and it knows the good, bad, and ugly of legacy and modern systems alike.
Our new SME team has decades of GOVCON experience, enabling our government customers to leverage deep domain knowledge and avoid pitfalls/costly mistakes as the Trump Administration seeks to effectively incorporate artificial intelligence and emerging technologies into building a more effective, data-driven, and unified acquisition lifecycle. While other firms may see a list of technical requirements, our team also sees real-world gaps, frustrations, and opportunities to shape better, more integrated capabilities and user experiences. Our team has been in the field, has written and negotiated contracts, and understands the “why” behind every click, form, and workflow. As we embed our SMEs within our agile development practices, we bring vision, economy, and street smarts to building the next generation of acquisition systems.
Our approach isn't just theoretical. It’s delivering tangible results in our work supporting the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Procurement (DASN (P)), under the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition (ASN (RDA)). We are central to a generational leap in modernizing procurement processes. We are helping to sunset the War Department's largest implementation of Procurement Desktop-Defense (PD2) within the Standard Procurement System by developing new capabilities and migrating trillions of dollars in legacy contracts' data. This massive undertaking is successful because we understand the intricate data structures and language of procurement from a contracting officer’s perspective.
By embedding deep domain knowledge into our agile development teams, we ensure that every solution is built with the end-user's reality in mind. We are not just fulfilling a statement of work; we are crafting a better experience for the thousands of acquisition professionals dedicated to supporting the warfighter.
