IPS has vast experience in providing the following services to the Federal and State Government clients:

• RFP Definition - This work may include creation and evaluation of RFP's
• Independent Verification and Validation - This involves IPS specialists working with the contractor from project inception to completion to ensure that the pre-defined project guidelines have been adhered to and to validate the results of the project. It is better and less expensive for the Government to identify any deviations/errors as they arise rather than toward the end of implementation cycle.
