ANDECO is a mission-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit and non-traditional government contractor. We help U.S. Government customers discover, evaluate, acquire, license, govern, provision, and manage commercial data and the provider ecosystems behind it.
We are an independent, vendor-neutral, conflict-managed intermediary — an acquisition-management partner, commercial-data evaluator, vendor ecosystem manager, consortium manager, data-governance partner, and post-award data-lifecycle support organization. We also maintain internal data-lifecycle capability — ingestion, storage, quality assessment, metadata management, provisioning, and controlled access — as part of that role, not as a standalone product we're trying to sell you.

Prime when it's ours to lead. Partner when it isn't.
As prime
When the work is commercial-data discovery, evaluation, acquisition, licensing, governance, vendor-ecosystem management, or lifecycle support — and for grants where nonprofit status helps. ANDECO sits directly between the market and the mission.
As partner
When a prime already holds the vehicle, when platform ownership is required, or when the work needs certifications or authorizations ANDECO reaches through a partner. We feed the prime the commercial-data capability without competing for the seat.
