What Verve LLC does

Verve, LLC is a privately held Service-Disabled Veteran-owned, Woman-owned Small Business (SDVOSB/WOSB) headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, that provides professional consulting and technical services to U.S. federal agencies. The firm operates six interconnected practice areas under a 'Partnership for Success' delivery model: Management Consulting, Healthcare Practice, Section 508 Compliance, Artificial Intelligence Services (predictive analytics, machine learning, NLP, RPA), Training/Technical Assistance/Event Management, and Digital Services (custom software, cloud migration, cybersecurity, human-centered design). Its primary go-to-market targets federal healthcare agencies, with disclosed engagements spanning CMS, CDC, NIH, IHS, SAMHSA, and AHRQ, including work on Value-Based Payment programs, Medical Review, Program Integrity, and Healthcare Quality initiatives.

Verve is registered under UEI QBMUWLJ24TY4 across multiple NAICS codes (541511, 541512, 541519, 541611, 541618, 541720, 541990, 611420, 611430, 611699) and makes a capability statement publicly downloadable, consistent with a small-business prime positioning for set-aside federal procurement. The firm markets AI-driven automation, digital modernization, and accessibility compliance as differentiated service offerings, though the technical descriptions are platform-level rather than model-level, and no proprietary AI research, patents, or benchmark claims are provided.

The business model is professional services revenue from government contracts; no pricing is publicly disclosed and pricing is contract-negotiated. The company is led by CEO Swami Swaminathan (17+ years GovCon, former CMS technology board advisor) and President Penny Aktepy (29-year military veteran, VBA-accredited), with 5 reported employees. Verve is independently owned with no parent company, no subsidiaries, no venture or institutional funding, and no disclosed M&A activity. The firm is currently operating and actively recruiting Medical Coders, indicating live program delivery.
