BLACKARC SYSTEMS // FEDERAL AI // PRACTICE 01

Agentic Systems.

We build agentic systems that make it all the way to production — versioned, evaluated, observable, and running inside your environment, on your data, under your controls.

01 // OUTCOMES

What you get.

  • 01 A working system in weeks, scoped against a real mission task — not a notebook demo.
  • 02 Agents that take action across your systems of record, with human-in-the-loop gates where they matter.
  • 03 Every prompt, tool, guardrail, and config under version control — rollback in minutes.
  • 04 Deployed inside your enclave, your tenant, or fully air-gapped — your call.
  • 05 Knowledge transfer included: your team operates it after we leave.
02 // CAPABILITIES

How we deliver it.

The capabilities below are what we ship under defined scope. Custom work outside this list is welcome, and scoped explicitly.

CAP / 01

Agent engineering

Multi-step, tool-using agents on Claude, Llama, and open-weight models. Retrieval-augmented, plan-do-check loops, evaluated against your acceptance criteria — not vibes.

CAP / 02

Mission workflow integration

Agents wired into your systems of record through documented connectors and scoped, audited service accounts. They work inside what you already run.

CAP / 03

Human-in-the-loop controls

Configurable approval gates, escalation paths, and override controls on every agent. The system assists; people decide where it counts.

CAP / 04

Tamper-evident audit

Every decision traces to the version of the policy that made it. Cryptographically verified event chains, not just logging after the fact.

CAP / 05

Eval suites & observability

Quantitative evals, regression tests, failure-mode coverage, structured logging, trace IDs, latency and cost telemetry, and drift detection — shipped with the system.

CAP / 06

Air-gapped runtime

Vendored harness plus a local NER model and on-prem inference (Ollama, vLLM, Triton) let sensitive workloads run with zero external calls.

03 // ECOSYSTEM

OEMs we build on for agentic systems.

We carry authorizations across each, accessible on federal contract vehicles through our partner CTG Federal. Call us if a vendor matters to you and isn't listed.

04 // PROOF

We ship systems, not slides.

BlackArc runs 150+ agents in production across federal, SLED, and commercial deployments — versioned, evaluated, and observable. Every recommendation here comes from work that has held up on a duty cycle, not from a pitch deck.

PROOF // IN THE FIELD

Agentic Systems in the field.

Anonymized mission patterns — the shape of the work, without the names. Each one ran in production, with a human on the decisions that mattered.

Acquisition & Contracts
Defense agency
SITUATION

A contracting shop reviewing more solicitations than its officers could keep pace with — market research and compliance checks done by hand, late into every close.

WHAT WE BUILT

An acquisition agent that drafts market-research summaries and runs proposal-compliance checks, with the contracting officer approving each output before it moves.

WHAT CHANGED

Officers work more packages without adding staff, and every recommendation traces back to the source document an auditor would ask for.

Case & Correspondence
Civilian agency
SITUATION

A correspondence queue that had outrun headcount — intake, routing, and first drafts all manual, all backlogged.

WHAT WE BUILT

An intake-and-drafting agent that triages, routes, and drafts responses against policy, with redaction and release held under human review.

WHAT CHANGED

The backlog stopped growing. Staff moved from sorting mail to deciding the hard cases, and every response carries the policy version it was written against.

Analyst & Intelligence Support
National laboratory
SITUATION

Analysts spending more time collating sources than reasoning about them — long documents, scattered systems, fixed deadlines.

WHAT WE BUILT

A research-support agent that summarizes across documents with citations back to the original, resolves entities, and drafts RFIs — running air-gapped where the work required it.

WHAT CHANGED

Analysts start from a first pass instead of a blank page and keep their judgment on the assessment. Nothing leaves the enclave, and every claim points to its source.

ENGAGE

Scope a agentic systems engagement.

Start with a 30-minute briefing. Bring the workflow, the architecture, or the accreditation question. We bring the engineer who can answer it.
