The SDVOSB will work with VA to modernize and streamline its disability benefits processing, helping Veterans access their benefits with greater speed and accuracy
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - OhioPen -- Aquia Inc., a cloud and cybersecurity digital services firm, today announced it has been awarded a three-year, $42.7 million contract, "Disability Benefits Crew," under the Department of Veterans Affairs's (VA's) Secure, Performant, Reliable, and User-Centered Experiences (SPRUCE) IT modernization vehicle.
This is the first prime award under SPRUCE for Aquia Nava II LLC — a joint venture between Aquia Inc. and Nava Public Benefit Corporation. Working alongside its partners at VA, Aquia Nava II will digitize the disability claims process, enhancing the user experience for Veterans and VA staff, and leading to faster decision times, more accurate data, and reduced costs.

"Having personally navigated these systems as Veterans, we understand firsthand the challenges that users are facing. We look forward to serving our fellow Veterans by creating a streamlined, intuitive experience that honors their service and gets them the benefits they've earned with greater speed and accuracy."
