MetaPhase Consulting Awarded Contract with Department of Agriculture

Reston, VA – MetaPhase Consulting,? a rapidly growing government IT and management consulting firm, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract with the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) at the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Through this three-year contract, MetaPhase Consulting will provide application operations maintenance and development support for existing Microsoft Power Platform tools previously developed for USDA, as well as development of new business process enhancement applications. These applications were developed to help FAS modernize several key business processes, including ticketing/automation systems for Human Capital Management, signature approvals processes, and staffing management. The program seeks to maintain current applications and processes it has implemented to improve productivity through workflow automation, identify trends to align resources, and implement solutions that provide the proper levels of efficiencies to support the mission.

FAS links U.S. agriculture to the world to enhance export opportunities and global food security for the expansion and growth of U.S. farmers and ranchers. The FAS Business Operations program area is the operational arm of the agency, with six divisions: Human Capital, Financial Management, Acquisition and Program Management, Budget, Information Technology, and General Services. FAS Business Operations has worked to improve services and efficiency through modernizing business practices and effective use of technology.

“We are honored to have been selected by the Department of Agriculture to provide Power Platform application maintenance and development support to USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service,” said Fred Costa, CEO at MetaPhase Consulting. “This contract represents an exciting opportunity for MetaPhase to leverage our expertise in application development to support USDA’s mission-critical initiatives and to continue an already successful partnership.”

This expands MetaPhase’s strong partnership with USDA, whom they currently support through several other initiatives in FAS, Rural Development (RD), and Risk Management Agency (RMA).

“We are proud to continue our partnership with USDA through this contract,” said Brett McLaren, Chief Strategy Office at MetaPhase. “This contract reaffirms our commitment to delivering high-quality application development that drives efficiency, standardization, and alignment with our clients’ strategic objectives.“

MetaPhase works at the intersection of business-to-IT partnerships; creating, deploying, and supporting practical solutions that serve as a force multiplier for government agencies.?
