Capability Statement

Company Overview

Puget Sound AI LLC is a Washington State veteran-owned small business (VOSB) specializing in AI and automation engineering for Microsoft 365 GCC (Government Community Cloud) environments. The firm designs, engineers, and deploys production AI agent systems, Power Platform automation, and M365 governance frameworks for state, local, tribal, and territorial government agencies. Nineteen production AI systems shipped in 2026 year to date in production GCC environments. Available as a VOSB subcontractor or teaming partner to federal primes on GCC engagements.

All work is led directly by the principal engineer: an 8+ year M365/GCC practitioner and U.S. Navy veteran with federal IT background (GS-09, U.S. Army Cyber Command / NETCOM). Engagements deliver complete documentation, source code, and staff handoff so client teams can maintain all deliverables independently.

Core Competencies

• AI Agent Engineering: Copilot Studio agents with generative orchestration, citation-bound retrieval-grounded architectures, RAG pipelines, and custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for policy-compliant automation within the GCC boundary.
• Power Platform Automation: Graph API-backed Power Automate workflows and Power Apps eliminating manual processes at scale with full audit trails; designed for government compliance requirements.
• M365 GCC Architecture & Governance: Tenant-wide governance across Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, Microsoft Purview, and Entra ID; solutions designed to operate within Microsoft's FedRAMP-authorized GCC boundary and align with CMMC / NIST 800-171 control objectives.
• AI Agent Infrastructure: Local SLM inference pipelines, vector embedding and retrieval systems, Azure AI Foundry integration, and reusable MCP server tooling for cloud-based government AI agents.
• GCC Training & Adoption: Hands-on workshops for government IT staff and end users on Copilot Studio, Power Platform, and AI governance delivered by the engineer who built production systems using these tools.
• AI Readiness Assessment: Structured, fixed-price gap analysis of GCC environments against AI deployment readiness criteria, with a prioritized 90-day roadmap.

Differentiators

• Production GCC track record: Nineteen AI systems engineered and deployed in production GCC environments this year; documented outcomes include $256K+ in annual cost avoidance and 21+ FTE-years of labor recovered.
• Direct engineer engagement: No account managers or subcontractors unknown to the client; the principal engineer scopes, builds, and delivers all work.
• GCC-native design: All architectures are designed from the outset for GCC constraints, not adapted from commercial offerings.
• Audit-ready, governed delivery: Every engagement ships architecture diagrams, documented workflows, source code, runbooks, and staff training for client-maintainable, independently operable deliverables.
• VOSB · VetCert in progress: Supports VOSB set-aside objectives pending SBA VetCert finalization. Available as a subcontractor or teaming partner on larger engagements.

Representative Outcomes (Production GCC Environments)

All systems deployed in production government GCC tenants. Client names and tenant details available under NDA to qualified contracting officers and prime contractors.
