Federal Capability Statement
Friends From The City transforms how government serves people. We are an 8(a), Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB), and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) specializing in digital modernization, human-centered design, product strategy, user research, service design, and software development. We help agencies understand how people experience complex systems, translate those insights into clear requirements, and work alongside engineering teams to build usable, accessible digital services. Our strength is high-stakes work where policy, technology, operations, and human behavior intersect. Our experience includes digital services for Veterans, clinicians navigating federal quality programs, state permitting and licensing systems, and educators using the Smithsonian’s Searchable Museum. We support the full product lifecycle from discovery and research through design, development, testing, and implementation.
