Acquisition paths

The ways your agency can buy this work

Your acquisition team chooses the path for the requirement. We quote every milestone in writing before your team chooses how to buy it, so your budget office can plan each step on facts.

  • A micro-purchase or a simplified acquisition. The FAR thresholds below, applied to the value of the whole requirement, set which procedure applies.
  • A small-business set-aside. Innovations24 LLC is a small business under applicable SBA size standards.
  • A commercial-services acquisition. Each offer is a service we also offer commercial clients, and your contracting team determines commerciality.
  • A subcontract under a task order your agency places with a prime that holds the vehicle. See teaming.
  • In Texas, a subcontract to a DIR cooperative contract holder. More for state and local buyers: state and local government.

FAR Part 19 (overhaul deviation text): small-business set-aside rule of two, 19.104-1(a)

Model deviation text issued September 26, 2025 (updated February 20, 2026) and used through agency class deviations; legacy citation FAR 19.502-2. The formal proposed rule for Part 19 is not yet published. A set-aside is required above the micro-purchase threshold when offers are expected from two or more responsible small businesses that are competitive on fair market price, quality and delivery.

“For contracts above the micro-purchase threshold, the contracting officer must set the contract aside for small business if there is a reasonable expectation of obtaining offers—(1) From two or more responsible small business concerns; and (2) That are competitive in terms of fair market prices, quality, and delivery.”

What we do: As a small business we can be the prime on a set-aside milestone, and we team with small-business primes and vehicle holders as a subcontractor.

Texas DIR cooperative contracts for commodity technology (Gov. Code §2157.068)

In force; DIR's rule (1 TAC §212.10) has state agencies other than institutions of higher education buy listed commodity items, which by statute include technology services, through DIR contracts unless they first obtain a DIR exemption, express prior Legislative Budget Board approval or DIR's certification that the item is unavailable. Local governments are eligible DIR customers.

“The department may adopt rules regulating a purchase by a state agency of a commodity item under this section, including a requirement that, notwithstanding other provisions of this chapter, the agency must make the purchase in accordance with a contract developed by the department”

What we do: We are available as a subcontractor or teaming partner to the DIR cooperative contract holder your agency chooses.

Eight of twelve proposed rules published (June 23 and September 18, 2026); no final rules; agencies use model class deviations meanwhile.

“The FAR Council is issuing twelve proposed rules that collectively will streamline the FAR in its entirety.”

What we do: We cite the FAR by part and topic while the overhaul runs, and give both the legacy and the deviation section number wherever a section number matters.

Contract types and milestones

Fixed price for defined milestones, a ceiling price for experimentation and scale

The FAR names the contract types, among them firm-fixed-price, time-and-materials and labor-hour, and your contracting team chooses the type for each order. Each of our pricing options is agreed before the milestone starts, so your budget office knows the price, or its ceiling, in advance:

For defined milestones

Fixed price

Each milestone is priced before it starts and accepted against its defined deliverables.

In FAR terms, a firm-fixed-price order, a fixed-price type that Executive Order 14402 makes the default and preferred method of procurement.

For experimentation and scale

Managed run with a ceiling price

For a series of experiments, or a run that grows with adoption, the work is managed against a ceiling price agreed before it starts and reviewed against the business case, and work above the ceiling price is at our cost.

In FAR terms, a time-and-materials or labor-hour order with a ceiling price.

It is used where your contracting team documents the determination and findings the FAR requires for a time-and-materials or labor-hour order, and the Executive Order 14402 justification where the order's value is at or above its threshold.

Milestone by milestone

  1. CaseThe business case milestone, quoted in writing before your team chooses how to buy it and closed with a decision meeting.
  2. ProveA pilot milestone under its own statement of work, accepted on the pre-registered measure.
  3. BuildDelivery milestones tied to acceptance events: design review, pilot acceptance and production readiness.
  4. RunA managed run priced per period at a fixed price, or, for experimentation and scale, a managed run with a ceiling price.
  5. ExpandThe next use case, ranked on measured value and bought the way your contracting team chooses: an option, a new order or a new competition.

Each milestone is quoted in writing before your team chooses how to buy it. Cloud consumption, software licenses and equipment are separate line items or are furnished by your agency.

Executive Order 14402: Promoting Efficiency, Accountability, and Performance in Federal Contracting

In force (signed April 30, 2026; published May 5, 2026). Carried out by FAR 16.104 in the Part 16 deviation text agencies were asked to adopt by July 15, 2026, and proposed for the FAR on September 18, 2026 (FAR Case 2026-006): a contract or order that is other than fixed-price, or firm-fixed-price level-of-effort term, needs a written justification approved by the agency head when valued at or above $100M for the Department of War (Department of Defense), $35M for NASA, $25M for DHS or $10M for other agencies.

“fixed-price contracts with performance-based considerations should serve as the default and preferred method of procurement”

What we do: Each milestone is priced before it starts and accepted against defined deliverables, a structure that fits the fixed-price, performance-based orders this order makes the default.

OMB M-25-22: Driving Efficient Acquisition of Artificial Intelligence in Government

In force; rescinds and replaces M-24-18. Applies to contracts awarded from solicitations issued on or after September 30, 2025 (180 days after issuance) and to options exercised after that date; it does not apply to AI acquired as a component of a National Security System.

“Ensuring contracts permanently prohibit the use of non-public inputted agency data and outputted results to further train publicly or commercially available AI algorithms, consistent with applicable law, absent explicit agency consent”

What we do: Our contract terms keep your data out of model training without your written consent, keep your data and the work we build for you portable, make knowledge transfer a deliverable, and give a performance-based contract a pre-registered measure it can use.

FAR 9.505-2: Preparing specifications or work statements (organizational conflict of interest)

Same section number and text in the Part 9 model deviation (issued August 21, 2025, updated April 20, 2026) and in the Part 9 proposed rule published September 18, 2026 (comments closed October 19, 2026); no final rule yet.

“If a contractor prepares, or assists in preparing, a work statement to be used in competitively acquiring a system or services”

What we do: Before we help write a requirement, we ask your contracting team to decide any conflict-of-interest restraint and state it in the contract, with the later work it covers and when it ends, and we plan our later bids around it.

Delivery and security

How the work is delivered

U.S.-based delivery

Government engagements are delivered by U.S.-based specialists where the contract or the regulation requires it, and agency data stays in the agency tenant.

Supply chain

Section 889 representations are furnished with every offer.

Authorized platforms

We build production on cloud services that hold FedRAMP authorization in the cloud your agency uses and record each one's status in the blueprint, so your agency's own authorization starts from the provider's assessed package.

Accessibility

Every user-facing screen we build for a federal agency is designed and tested to WCAG 2.0 Level AA, the version the Revised 508 Standards incorporate, or to a later version your contract names, with the test results handed over with the deliverable.

On request, an Accessibility Conformance Report in the VPAT® 2.5Rev format for each user-facing deliverable.

Example: the Accessibility Conformance Report for this website (PDF).

VPAT is a registered service mark of the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI).

Engineering

Managed-identity access between services, key-based access switched off wherever the service allows it, and the infrastructure deployed as code, as in our own opportunity-intelligence platform (internal R&D).

The rules, by service

The rules each service is framed by, quoted at the source, dated and reviewed: the regulation map.
