Ad Hoc

Ad Hoc

Federal digital services consulting and development

Overview

Ad Hoc helps federal agencies modernize digital services by forming small, skilled teams to deliver project-based consulting and development. Their approach combines user-centered design, rapid prototyping, and open-source components, sometimes including public prototypes like a COVID-19 vaccination verification app. They differentiate themselves by focusing on the public sector, using transparent development and an explicit maturity model to measure agency progress, not just code delivery. Their goal is to make government digital services easier to use, more accessible, and more efficient for the public.
