# Nava Advances Open-Source Government Modernization

Nava’s 2026 public benefit report describes digital modernization work for federal and state agencies, including open-source grants systems for HHS, Minnesota’s paid leave program, and Pennsylvania benefits-processing tools. Nava says it plans to include meaningful open-source components or contributions in at least half of its new work by 2030. The report identifies no new solicitation, award value, or mandatory agency requirement; for procurement professionals, it signals a contractor emphasis on government ownership, maintainability, and agency capacity to operate digital services.

- Nava’s reported work spans grants management and public benefits systems, including Simpler.Grants.gov and Minnesota’s paid leave program.
- Companies competing for similar digital services work may find it useful to demonstrate experience with open-source development, maintainable systems, and knowledge transfer that supports agency capability.
- Nava’s 2030 goal is a company strategy, not a government-wide mandate; the report does not announce a new procurement opportunity or deadline for bidders.
