About

Snowbird Agility is an [ED]WOSB, SDVOSB, and 8(a) digital services firm. As a federal contractor, we partner with government leaders to bring private-sector digital transformation practices to the public sector. We build software and services that help the government do its job, and we care who benefits from the government’s work.  

The reason Snowbird exists is to help narrow the wealth gap. It is and has been the biggest problem facing the country, and most other problems trace back to it. It’s why the company was founded, and it shapes how we operate.

We hire out of HUBZones and build skills in communities that experience slower economic activity, because a federal contract spent there is a long-term injection into the local economy. The same logic drives how we team: partnering with other small-business contractors on real work sustains those businesses, their employees, and their communities.

We measure our work by whether Americans on the receiving end of a government service are better off after we modernize it. Our values, below, guide how we do business every day:

Snowbird Agility Values

• Serve Generously. We care deeply for our people, our customers, and our community. We support continuous growth and celebrate shared success.
• Act with Integrity. We lead with honesty, transparency, and ethical decision-making in everything we do.
• Lead with “Yes.” We innovate boldly, empower our clients, and pursue solutions that may ultimately make our own role unnecessary.
• Commit to Excellence.  We set high expectations, hold ourselves accountable, and continuously learn to deliver outstanding, enduring solutions.
• Disrupt with Empathy. We challenge the status quo with people-first, pragmatic approaches that deliver lasting value.
• Simplify Relentlessly. We practice the art of maximizing the work not done, focusing effort where it matters most.
