NewSpring Holdings Platform company Xpect Solutions has acquired GovDefender, a provider of digital transformation, systems modernization, and enterprise IT web, mobile and application development.
GovDefender was founded by Josh Baze and develops secure digital media intake solutions that enable the processing of public-submitted digital content, allowing federal agencies to solve crimes faster.
“Partnering with a company that shares our values and commitment to the mission is a tremendous opportunity for our team,” Baze said.
This strategic acquisition enhances Xpect Solutions’ ability to provide comprehensive, innovative and secure technology solutions for federal law enforcement and national security customers, the company said.
“This acquisition represents a significant milestone for Xpect Solutions. Josh Baze and his team’s visionary methodology transcends industries and challenges, offering a universal framework that transforms any system into a seamless, future-ready operation,” said Xpect Solutions CEO Yusuf Abdul-Salaam.
“Together, we’ll equip federal law enforcement and national security agencies with the confidence to test innovation with minimal risk and embrace the changes necessary to navigate an ever-evolving threat landscape, ensuring they remain one step ahead.”
This is Xpect Solutions’ first M&A transaction after NewSpring Holdings acquired the company in October 2024.
“Through this transaction, we are helping our agency partners navigate this critical transition and accelerate their adoption of new technology to enable system modernization,” said Chris Blahm, NewSpring Holdings Federal Operating partner and Xpect Solutions board member.
