What Agile Six Applications does

Agile Six Applications, Inc. is a private, founder-controlled U.S. federal digital services contractor founded in 2014 and headquartered remotely with team members spanning at least 28 U.S. states. The firm delivers customized digital modernization, agile transformation coaching, human-centered design, product development, DevOps and cloud infrastructure, and AI-assisted digital services exclusively to U.S. federal government agencies, with concentrated engagements at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Named platforms and projects include the VA Diffusion Marketplace, the VA Design System Form Engine (funded through the Technology Modernization Fund under VA's CEDAR IDIQ), VA.gov CMS consolidation, and CCSQ Agile Coaching and Digital Transformation at CMS, with a SAFe-published case study documenting Agile Six's role launching three of the first Scaled Agile Release Trains at CMS.

Agile Six operates a platform-plus-services model with no consumer-facing product or subscription revenue stream. Revenue is generated entirely through negotiated federal contract vehicles, including GSA Multiple Award Schedule (GS-35F-004GA) and prime BPA positions on CDC PRIME/DMI, HHS OGI SWIFT, VA CEDAR, and OPM DSS, with multi-year terms and task-order-based billing. The company holds SDVOSB and California DVBE certifications, providing preferential access to set-aside contracts, and implemented an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) in 2022 across all employees. The firm is differentiated by a self-managed teal organizational structure with no middle management, a non-commission-based business development model, and a stated focus on mission-aligned civic tech work over profit maximization. Agile Six is the founder and a charter member of the Digital Services Coalition, and is led by co-founder/CEO Robert Rasmussen, co-founder/CFO Ernie Ramirez, President Dan Levenson, Chief Delivery Officer Josh Quagliaroli, and Chief People Officer/General Counsel Emily Levenson.

Core offering

Agile Six Applications delivers digital transformation, agile coaching, AI-powered digital services, DevOps and cloud infrastructure, product development, and human-centered research and design services to U.S. federal government agencies. Engagements are executed through negotiated federal contract vehicles (GSA MAS, BPA/IDIQ) and produce named platforms such as the Diffusion Marketplace, VA Design System Form Engine, and VA.gov CMS modernization for healthcare and veteran-serving agencies including CMS, VA, CDC, and OPM.

Product overview

Agile Six Applications is a full-spectrum digital services company that combines digital government modernization, product delivery, and human-centered design. The company operates a platform-plus-services model, offering six core service offerings—Digital Transformation, Agile Coaching, AI Powered Digital Services, DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure, Product Development, and Research & Design—that are applied across multiple government client engagements. These services manifest in named platforms and projects including the Diffusion Marketplace (a centralized hub for VA centers to share innovations), the VA Design System Form Engine (enabling non-technical staff to configure digital forms), VA.gov Modernization (consolidating VA.gov onto a single CMS), and CCSQ Agile Coaching and Digital Transformation (Agile transformation services for CMS). The company does not sell a single unified software product; instead, it delivers customized digital solutions tailored to each government agency's needs, building digital products that are as powerful and easy to use as consumer apps.
