Federal IT Staffing & Technical Services

We place suitability-cleared IT professionals into federal programs supporting SSA, CMS, NIH, USDA, and DHS — one carefully vetted candidate at a time. Our engineers and technicians arrive with relevant agency experience, cleared through the appropriate Public Trust tier, and productive from the first week on-site. Primes who use TechPerm for staff augmentation do not absorb delays from unvetted candidates or failed suitability adjudications.

TechPerm supports the full software development lifecycle for federal agency systems — from requirements and design through implementation, modernization, and ongoing operations and maintenance. Our engineers have hands-on experience with the legacy and modern environments that civilian agencies actually run: COBOL, DB2, Java, mainframe architectures, and modern web interfaces supporting SSA benefits systems and CMS Medicare and Medicaid platforms. We do not learn these systems on your contract.

TechPerm provides cloud engineering support for federal environments requiring secure, compliant hybrid and cloud-native architectures. Our team has supported CMS cloud migration initiatives and delivers expertise in AWS, Ansible, and VPC configurations within federal security frameworks. We work within the constraints of agency IT governance — not around them.

TechPerm supports federal information security programs with hands-on expertise in Risk Management Framework, Authorization to Operate documentation, identity and access management, vulnerability remediation, and security operations. Our security engineers have worked within agency-specific compliance environments at CMS and DHS, where the cost of a security gap is measured in program risk, not just audit findings.

TechPerm provides data engineering and analytics support for federal health and civilian programs managing large-scale data pipelines, reporting systems, and program analytics. Our team understands the data environments at SSA and CMS — including how that data moves, where it lives, and what compliance requirements govern it. We deliver analytics capability that program offices can use, not just infrastructure that IT has to maintain.

TechPerm has supported claims processing and fraud detection platforms at SSA and CMS for over two decades. Our engineers understand the architecture, the business rules, and the operational tempo of these systems — and can contribute to enhancements, modernization efforts, and fraud mitigation programs without a lengthy ramp-up. When a program cannot afford downtime or a slow start, that institutional knowledge matters.

TechPerm delivers enterprise-wide systems testing, quality assurance, and Independent Verification and Validation for federal modernization programs. Our testing support at SSA has covered mission-critical systems across multiple contract vehicles, including programs where IV&V is a compliance requirement, not an optional layer. We bring a disciplined, documentation-ready approach to every testing engagement.

Suitability is where federal IT placements fail — and where TechPerm earns its reputation.

Most staffing firms hand a candidate a checklist and hope for the best. We manage the suitability process as a core part of every placement. That means reviewing eQIP and eApp submissions before they go in, preparing candidates for the specific scrutiny their target agency applies, and actively coordinating with CORs and security offices through adjudication.

We have supported Public Trust clearances at Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 4 across SSA, CMS, DHS, USDA, and NIH. We know what each agency's adjudication office looks for. We know the typical timelines. We know the submission errors that cause delays and how to prevent them.

When a candidate we place reaches the front of the suitability queue, they are ready. That is not a guarantee any staffing firm can make without the institutional knowledge to back it up. We have 25 years of that knowledge — and it is available to every prime and agency we support.
