Customer Information
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 volume 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 consider the catalogs/pricelists of at least three schedule contractors or consider reasonably available information by using the GSA Advantage!™ on-line shopping service (www.gsaadvantage.gov). The catalog/pricelists, GSA Advantage!™ and 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 woman-owned small businesses among those considered 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.

Description of IT Services
For 21 years, Devis, a minority, woman-owned small business, has served as a leading prime contractor of IT solutions to the Federal Government and the international development community. Demonstrated by our award winning technical solutions, Devis has a proven record of success in building, operating, and supporting mission critical Federal systems.
The mission of providing affordable, appropriate technology as a multiplier for international development was the hopeful vision of the IT pioneers that founded Devis in 1992. Backed by 21 years of experience, Devis now serves as a trusted vendor-independent advisor to most Federal agencies. Using this experience, Devis offers customers a comprehensive array of services including CMMI Level 3 Application Development, International Deployment & Training Support, Section 508 Compliance Remediation and Services, Knowledge Management, Secure Agile Hybrid Cloud, and ITIL-certified Tier 2 & 3 Service Desk.
Our experience working on high-profile cross-agency initiatives at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Department of State (DOS), the Department of Labor (DOL) (including ODEP, OASP, ETA, OSHA, MSHA, VA), the U.S. Access Board, the National Council on Disability (NCD), the Department of Justice (DOJ, FBI, NIJ), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS including FIC, FDA, CDC, NCHS, NIH, NIEHS), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Defense (DOD), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and the General Services Administration (OCAO) is particularly important in reducing your risk. Devis has a proven track record of providing excellence for the Federal Government’s mission-critical systems.
Ordering Agencies can be confident in Devis’ future performance because we are successfully executing, or have executed, over 450 contract and task order awards funded at over $95 million with scopes of work covering all IT discipline areas with a depth and breadth that is exceptional for a small business. The awards span over 40 Federal offices, institutes, and Agencies and extend to most other civilian Agencies through interagency working relationships. They also span over 450 technical assistance visits to 80 countries. Devis is CMMI Level 3 Appraised and has been recognized by VMWare™ and the Department of Labor for our cloud-based infrastructure.
We have a keen understanding of the special challenges faced by Government Agencies with regard to security, privacy, and potential misuse or embarrassment, especially related to personally identifiable information (PII). Our senior information assurance (IA) professionals are all Certified Information Systems Security Professionals (CISSP) including one of the few dual Information System Security Engineering Professionals (CISSP+ISSEP). All of our senior software developers are Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professionals (CSSLP). Devis maintains a Top Secret facility clearance with all staff under NDA and cleared at least secret (92%) or top secret (17%). We also provide secure managed services and Software as a Service (SaaS) for several high-profile “dot gov” systems under full certification & accreditation (C&A) – General Support System (GSS) for our agile hybrid cloud infrastructure and Authority-To-Operate (ATO) for the applications running within it, including FedRAMP controls, where applicable. The investments we have made in security services reflect the importance we place on earning and keeping our client’s trust.
Innovation
The Federal Government and Industry has long recognized Devis as an innovator. Devis was founded with the objective of using the latest technology as a leveraging factor in USAID’s pursuit of international development during the early 1990s. Working with USAID, Devis created an innovative but practical approach to distributed, global computing. Based on our InfoStructure concept we created a network of over 800 PCs that could communicate using multiple, situation-appropriate channels. As newer appropriate technology options became available Devis extended the capabilities to include push-pull XML messaging and web access. The innovation of our open InfoStructure approach allowed USAID to smoothly change the supported delivery channels without starting over from scratch. Our innovations are
Contract: GS35F0217J 8 thoughtful, cost-effective, and practical.
Based on our assessment of traditional proprietary licenses and the resulting unit costs we began to deploy open source software (OSS) solutions in 1996 and ran one of the first on-line virtual conferences in 1999. In 2000 Devis’ work at the Department of State was cited in the press as the first government-wide application utilizing Java, XML, and Linux. By 2004 the open source community and our customers alike were reaping the benefits of our innovations. Since then, Devis has become a recognized leader in Server and Storage Virtualization as appropriate solutions for both increasing technical capability and continuity of operations (COOP) while lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) of a secure IT infrastructure. Devis’ use of AJAX, or Web 2.0, technologies has significantly increased the accessibility (Section 508 and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)), usability and responsiveness of web applications. Now those same technologies are integral to the Federal Enterprise Architecture.
Public InfoStructure
Public InfoStructure was coined by Devis to promote the benefits and logic of sharing publicly funded information technology. Public InfoStructure allows multiple federal, state and local agencies to leverage systems and software components created with public funds. Devis has made a significant investment in the Public InfoStructure by releasing source code and products. Devis is the leader in the appropriate use of commercial open source software for Government having implemented numerous systems beginning in 1999. Devis has the experience that allows us to work collaboratively in efforts to leverage governmental investments in commercial open source software.
