For over a decade, Ad Hoc has led the charge in transforming how the federal government serves people. We started the digital services revolution, and we’re not slowing down.
When HealthCare.gov needed to be rebuilt, Ad Hoc was there. When the Department of Veterans Affairs needed to consolidate over 500 websites into a single, Veteran-centric experience, we built Vets.gov in less than a year, and then we rebuilt VA.gov. When Medicare needed a complete overhaul of its Plan Finder to serve 2.6 million beneficiaries, we delivered 40% more enrollments with zero downtime. When the VA needed its first flagship mobile app, we built one that Veterans rated 4.8 out of 5 stars and downloaded nearly 300,000 times in just months.
These weren’t just projects. They were proof that a different approach to government technology was possible—one that moves fast, delivers results that actually work, and transforms entire agencies into digital-first organizations.
Speed matters. The people your agency serves can’t wait years for solutions. That’s why we assemble purpose-built ad hoc teams—small, skilled groups that cut through complexity and deliver at the speed people deserve. Our teams bring a product mindset, relevant technical expertise, and a focus on maximizing outcomes for the people you serve.
We pair our technologists directly with government stakeholders, creating collaborative partnerships to ensure alignment on what we’re building and why we’re building it. We believe in lowering risk through iterative research, co-design, and AI-accelerated development. No layers of abstraction. No extra overhead. Just the expertise your mission needs, working alongside your team with the agility to iterate, learn, and scale quickly.
Consider Search.gov: When GSA needed to redesign their search platform serving 286.5 million public queries across 2,100+ federal websites, our purpose-built team partnered with GSA to enable a 63% increase in page views, 21% longer engagement time, and 75% positive user satisfaction — proving that government services can achieve consumer-grade user experiences, and get there quickly.
This isn’t government contracting as usual. This is a partnership designed for outcomes.
Digital services are table stakes now. Every agency understands they need digital experiences and services that work. The real question is: how do you become a truly digital-first organization that serves people at the speed they expect?
A digital-first organization has the in-house capacity, product mindset, and technology platform to deliver services digitally from the outset—not as an afterthought. It’s an agency that builds digital service delivery into the DNA of how it operates, saves costs, serves people, and fulfills its mission.
The future belongs to agencies that combine AI, proven platforms, and private-sector technology to deliver outcomes faster and better than ever before. We’re taking the lessons learned from a decade of experience, and applying them to a modern approach to service delivery that leverages AI, reusable platforms, and proven private sector technology to deliver at speed and scale.
Forward-thinking federal agencies choose Ad Hoc because they refuse to accept the status quo. They know that in a world moving at digital speed, government can’t afford to move slowly.
They choose us because we don’t just build digital services. We enable digital-first agencies that serve people with the speed, efficiency, and care they deserve today. Our purpose-built teams, AI-accelerated development, and proven platforms reduce risk while maximizing outcomes.
We don’t just deliver better websites—we deliver modern digital infrastructure that’s easier and cheaper to maintain. We’ll never lock you into proprietary systems; everything we build uses trusted open-source frameworks. You can fire us any time. But you’ll never want to. We’ve proven that enormous government missions serving millions don’t require unmaintainable software, deadlines that slip, or mounting service costs. We know how to deliver great user experiences that work at scale without adding tech debt that can haunt agencies for decades.
Most importantly, agencies choose us because we see the same future they do: a government that operates with speed and agility, while reducing costs. We see the potential for AI-powered solutions that accelerate delivery, and consolidated platforms that eliminate duplicative efforts and drive operational efficiencies while maximizing outcomes for the people they serve.
