Federal agencies, including the Department of Defense (DoD), are leaving behind cumbersome waterfall models for agile development in software projects. This shift aims to deliver rapid, mission-focused IT solutions while integrating agile acquisition methods. At REI, agile procurement means aligning with mission goals, breaking projects into manageable tasks, and ensuring flexibility and user feedback. The goal: to equip service members with effective, timely tools through efficient acquisition processes.

Omni Federal is pleased to announce our continued work on the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase III BOA to support the United States Air Force. Our team will support the development and implementation of a robust data accessibility framework to utilize the information collected by the Integrated Cockpit Sensing (ICS) System and shared through the In-Flight Physiologic Monitoring (IFPM) program. Specifically, the goal of ICS is to enhance the pilot’s cockpit experience by addressing critical gaps in cockpit sensing. The ICS system is a suite of sensors that passively captures a wealth of environmental and physiological data from the aircraft and its pilots. This data is crucial to support ongoing research efforts to improve our understanding of the onset of unexplained physiological events (UPEs) affecting our pilots.  The IFPM program aims to make this data accessible to those who can help close this gap. Omni Federal has been chosen to build a data platform that aggregates, organizes and shares  ICS data in a secure and user-friendly manner.  This platform aims to provide meaningful insights and utility to research and safety professionals, ultimately enhancing pilot safety.  For years, systems like this have been worked on and improved to ensure the airplanes that the pilots fly are safe, now we get to help organize and exploit data that the pilot flying it is safe as well. We’re beyond excited to expand on the work we are already doing with SBIR initiatives and to further support the United States Air Force. #SBIR #USAirForce #WeareteamOmni #digitaltransformation #datadriven #711HumanPerformanceWing #AFRL #Pilotsafety

Government Contracting #govcon seems to be a labyrinth 😕to many outsiders and newer folks coming into the space. I once created an Access database🧮 at a previous employer many years ago to highlight the importance of good data management and common unique identifiers... As the company tended to have some byzantine processes and nomenclature that I was trying to flesh out and focus 🔍on measuring the things that matter. So I've seen quite a bit of diverse contracts from over $100M 💰annual jobs to ones under $100K. I believe the process is essentially the same to ensure a smooth transition from pre-award to 🥇post-award. It starts with being able to accurately code 🔣your contract into your system of record. Do your #proposal 📚and #pricing 💵documents match the contract award 📝documents? Check that before you 🖋sign! Had an experience recently where there was some ambiguity 😵with a contract modification document in what it was doing as it relates to the changes we proposed. Some contracts get complex when you get to a dozen mods or so with many CLINs, SLINs, and 🗜ARCNs... IYKYK We both had differing interpretations🗣 as we worked through the document. There was a 💪🏼challenge with all the moving parts and new CLINs added and old ones removed and it turns out that we both had the same initial confusion that it wasn't done correctly... However, when we dug ⛏deeper into the changes in Section B (contract values) and Section G (funding values) we determined that this customer was doing It's important to have a uniform 🥋methodology on how you read and review your contract documents before you sign it and book the funding and contract values in your accounting system. Set your books up right the first time, or you'll pay💸 for it over-and-over again each month. And get the right people 🤼 and departments involved! Make it a great week 👊🏼
