Executive Summary – Introduction

Founded in 1992, Avum has been successfully developing custom IT solutions and providing advanced systems engineering services to our customers in the private and public sectors.

Avum is a certified small business with over 28 years of experience delivering technical ser-vices that include, but not limited to; application development, database design, system integration, business intelligence (BI) reporting, cloud hosting, cyber-security, business pro-cess management (BPM), enterprise IT architecture, enterprise resource planning (ERP), and program/project management.

We treat our customers’ data and security as the highest priority, ensuring their informa-tion is protected from the persistent and ever evolving cyber threats that are all too common in this industry. Avum’s hard-earned reputation has provided us with the opportunity to work in the highly secure digital environments of the Department of Defense (DoD), De-partment of the Navy (DON), and other government organizations. In addition to their proficiency in software/system design and development, our dedicated professionals are also experienced in supporting the Risk Management Framework (RMF) and adhering to the Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs).

Avum provides a secure cloud environment to host our customers’ production applications with 24/7 support and maintenance. We are entrusted to host mission-critical applications and websites for the DoD, DON and other government agencies. For example, Avum hosts the high visibility and globally utilized website https://www.space-track.org for the Joint Functional Component Command for Space (JFCC Space), a data repository for tracking orbiting objects that are slightly bigger than a softball, used by the international space com-munity to assist in launches by maintaining awareness of space object locations. Our cloud environment also allows us to rapidly develop our applications and showcase the iterations to project stakeholders, which is key to our Agile software development process.

“BRAVO ZULU to the entire Avum team for the SUPERB teamwork that enabled the go ‘LIVE’ with the DON CMRA system! As you all know, the DON CMRA implementation was a Congressional mandate and your efforts successfully helped us meet our aggressive schedule.” – Roger Yee, Deputy Director, DASN (AP)

In order to deliver a technical solution catered to our customers’ unique environment and requirements, Avum’s project teams follow an Agile Scrum/Kanban hybrid methodology that focuses on quick design, development and demonstration iterations with the incorpo-ration of customer feedback each step of the way. It is crucial that we get a functional prototype into the customers’ hands as soon as possible in order to receive valuable feedback and reprioritize based off tangible results. We take pride in being able to bring our cus-tomers’ vision to fruition with the latest technology and adapted to their evolving business needs. Our methodology permeates through all phases, from concept to finished product and into sustainment where we continually work to improve functionality, performance and overall customer satisfaction. This includes the post-production support with detailed doc-umentation, effective training, software patches/releases, and technology refresh.

Regardless of the operating system (Windows, Mac/iOS, Linux, Android, etc.), pro-gramming language (Java/J2EE, SQL, C#, Python, etc.), or database management system (MySQL, Oracle, SAP, etc.) Avum has the capability and resources to accomplish the task.

1 Information For Ordering Activities Applicable To

All Special Item Numbers

Special Notice To Agencies: Small Business Participation

SBA strongly supports the participation of small business concerns in the Federal Acquisition Service. To enhance Small Business Participation SBA policy allows agencies to include in their procurement base and goals, the dollar value of orders expected to be placed against the Federal Supply Schedules, and to report accomplishments against these goals.

For orders exceeding the micropurchase threshold, FAR 8.404 requires agencies to con-sider the catalogs/pricelists of at least three schedule contractors or consider reasonably avail-able information by using the GSA Advantage!TMon-line shopping service (www.gsaadvantage.

gov). The catalogs/pricelists, GSA Advantage!TMand the Federal Acquisition Service Home Page (www.gsa.gov/fas) contain information on a broad array of products and services offered by small business concerns.

This information should be used as a tool to assist ordering activities in meeting or exceeding established small business goals. It should also be used as a tool to assist in including small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned small businesses among those con-sidered when selecting pricelists for a best value determination.

For orders exceeding the micropurchase threshold, customers are to give preference to small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy their requirement.
