A Trusted Strategic Partner for Federal and Research Programs
RDS brings secure digital capabilities, engineering support, and a collaborative delivery approach to complex federal and research initiatives. We are built to help organizations strengthen program performance with confidence, precision, and accountability.
Why Team with RDS
Many primes need VOSB subcontracting-plan credit but struggle to find VOSBs with architecture and engineering depth beyond staff augmentation. RDS delivers enterprise architecture (TOGAF), model-based systems engineering (SysML v2, UAF), AI-augmented development, and working software. Your proposal gains subcontracting-plan compliance and a genuine technical differentiator.
RDS operates a full CMMC L2 working environment today (C3PAO-assessed Azure GCC High, enclaveone.us via Ariento Corp.), with DCAA-ready financial systems and CUI handling already operational; ITAR-Ready posture in the same enclave (first ITAR-covered engagement required for certification). Adding RDS to your team demonstrates compliance depth to evaluators. No onboarding compliance ramp after award.
RDS builds with role-specialized agent teams augmenting senior engineers, with prompt caching and batch API routing engineered in to keep per-token costs predictable. Same senior-led team from architecture through working code. Lower subcontract costs for the same scope — making your overall price proposal more competitive.
RDS rates reflect New Hampshire cost of living — materially lower than Beltway competitors with equivalent credentials. Detailed rates available under NDA or teaming agreement.
