The automation sub after the award.
Keel Automation LLC is a SAM-registered, service-disabled veteran-owned Tampa Bay firm that builds custom software, AI integrations, and workflow automation. We pursue direct local and state work where it fits, and team with primes as the automation subcontractor on larger awards.

Everything a buyer checks first.
Verifiable identifiers, codes, and entity details. Nothing here is aspirational.
Buyers and primes need different things.
Pick your path. Both end with the same owner on the phone.
Contracting officers and buyers
Small, well-defined purchases: a portal, an integration between two systems an office already owns, a phone and messaging workflow, or the automation slice of a modernization. Fixed price, weekly demos, and a support period after go-live.
- SAM Active today; SBA VetCert SDVOSB application pending (no set-aside claimed until certified)
- Secure multi-tenant PostgreSQL with row-level security on every build
- Direct owner contact: Cole Junck, (813) 902-4763
Prime contractors
We are not asking to replace a capture team. We are asking to be the automation sub: the partner who builds the bespoke portal, wires the integrations, and operates what ships, so your team can stay on the program.
- Subcontract, teaming agreement, or mentor-protégé interest
- Small-business Florida LLC for participation goals
- Past performance narrative and resumes for your volume
