We build software for the people bidding federal work.
We are a veteran-led software company. Right now we are building FedM8 AI: a place for small shops to get listed, find government work, and see who won last time. Free to start.
A product for small shops chasing federal work.
That is where our hours go.
Find work worth bidding
Search SAM.gov for work that matches what you sell. Filter by the kind of work and who can bid. You should not have to scroll a firehose at midnight.
Get registered and certified
A free walkthrough: tax ID, get listed in SAM.gov, and veteran-owned certification. It links to the government programs that run each part. It stores none of your documents.
See who won last time
Public award history shows who has been winning this work and roughly what they were paid. See that before you pick a price.
Be findable
Companies that already hold contracts look for veteran-owned partners. List your business. You pick what they see.
For companies that already hold the contract
We build software and IT. Our SBA-certified SDVOSB status supports teaming and subcontracting. If you have work coming, tell us now. Teaming is easier before the bid drops.
FedM8 AI — find government work
Search live SAM.gov listings after you sign in. Filter by the kind of work and who can bid. Who-won history is on Pro. Getting listed and certified stays free.
Get Certified is a free checklist: tax ID, SAM.gov listing, and veteran-owned certification. It links to the government programs that run those steps. It stores none of your documents.
Software and technology, first.
We write software and run IT. Sized for a task, a surge, or a defined piece of work under a larger contract.
Software Development
Software agencies actually run: internal tools, and replacements for old systems.
- Custom web & internal applications
- Process automation & data tools
- Modernization of legacy systems
Information Technology
Keep the systems running: hook them together, move them to the cloud, help the people who use them.
- Systems integration & support
- Cloud migration assistance
- Help desk & end-user systems
Also on the company
When a job needs more than software, we can cover these under the same partner.
Construction & Facilities
Renovation, repair, build-outs, and facility support for government buildings and installations.
Printing & Apparel
Uniform and apparel customization, UV flatbed printing, signage, and recognition items.
Event Support
Planning and on-site logistics for conferences, ceremonies, and official functions.
Four things people often find out too late.
Check these before you spend a weekend on the wrong path.
A 0% rating can still count
A zero percent rating can still count as service-connected. That is one piece of SDVOSB. You still have to meet ownership, control, and size rules. Do not assume zero means no.
The SAM checkbox is not certification
Ticking "veteran-owned" in SAM.gov does not let you win contracts set aside for veterans. That takes the SBA certification. It is the most common misunderstanding in federal contracting and it costs people real bids.
Most reserved jobs go to teams
Jobs reserved for veteran-owned firms often go to a team. The company that holds the contract looks for partners. If they cannot find you, you are not on the list.
Nobody knows who lost
Awards are public record. Losses are not published anywhere. Any tool showing you a win rate built one from guesses, and pricing against a guess is how you lose the money twice.
Know who you are working with.
Government buyers research the people behind a company. Here we are.
Joseph B. Nguyen
Service-disabled veteran who has worked federal contracting since 1999 from all three sides of the table: six years active duty Army, seven years as a subject-matter-expert contractor, and federal civilian service with the Department of the Army and DoD since 2012. His software work goes back further: in 1996 he developed ergonomic software for International Ergonomics Experts, and in 2003 he built the VIP Event List web app for Dream Night Club. His federal background includes contract monitoring and evaluation, full datacenter deployments, and software development across agency environments. He holds a B.S. in Computer Networking from Strayer University and an M.B.A. and M.S. in Information Systems from the University of Phoenix. He leads FedM8's strategy, operations, and every delivery commitment.
Darren Cummings
Co-founder leading business development and partner relationships. He started as an Account Executive at Telemundo (NBC), then built and owned hospitality technology companies, including AllView Networks, which monetized WiFi login and landing pages for more than 2,800 hotels. He went on to lead eStreamTV, delivering live IPTV and programmatic advertising to multi-dwelling properties, hotels, senior living, hospitals, and student housing, and forging partnerships that turned equipment upgrades into a built-in revenue platform. Most recently at F.H. Furr (Apex Service Partners) he sold over $9 million in HVAC equipment and helped drive more than $21 million in company valuation growth in under three years. He holds a Communications degree from the University of Delaware and brings that same partnership discipline and client-first execution to FedM8's growth.
