Apps By TAP is a U.S. small business building secure, scalable software for federal, state and local agencies. We modernize legacy systems, solve the problems others walk away from, and work as your prime contractor or as a subcontractor on your team.
§ 01 — Who we serve
Whether you’re an agency buying directly or a prime building a team, you get the same engineers and the same standards.
Federal agencies
Custom applications on Microsoft Azure, shaped by your mission’s requirements and connected to the systems you already run through secure APIs and data pipelines.
State & local government

Prime contractors
We join your team as a subcontractor to cover niche technology requirements, speed up delivery on tight timelines and help you meet small business participation goals.
