The necessary presence
in government digital.
We build compliant, accessible digital platforms for federal agencies and the prime contractors who serve them.
Precision-built
for public service.
Three core capabilities, each built to the standards government demands and primes expect from a reliable sub.
Public-facing portals and internal agency tools built to USWDS standards. Performant enough to run on restricted government hardware.
Systems that connect agencies, contractors, and citizens. Authentication-ready, compliance-first, built for the audit trail.
Code that passes review because we've read the spec. FedRAMP-aware architecture, Section 508-compliant by default.
Built for the workflows
clients actually run.
Shipped client work across various sectors.
A React Native app that puts photo and video evidence in the hands of a regional law enforcement task force in three taps. Shipped to iOS and Android in parallel for a county-wide anti-retail-theft program.
A career-services web portal — virtual counselor with a single student account holding a Career Action Plan, résumé, master job application, search letters, and online portfolio — paired with a CMS that lets non-technical counselors update career paths and copy without engineering in the loop.
Small team.
No shortcuts.
Three things that are true about how we work — and rare in this space.
Built by people
who understand government.
Government agencies deserve better digital infrastructure. That's not a controversial take — it's why Tessmark exists. We started this firm because we kept watching agencies struggle with platforms that were built without understanding how government actually works: the procurement cycles, the compliance requirements, the accessibility mandates, the security reviews.
We're not a large firm with a government practice. We're a small team that works exclusively in this space — which means every decision we make is grounded in the standards, vocabulary, and constraints of federal and state digital work.
When you work with Tessmark, you're talking directly to the engineers building your platform. No account managers, no translation layer, no surprises at delivery.
Let's talk about
what you need.
