About the company
American Association Of Zoological Parks And Aquariums, Inc., doing business as Association of Zoos and Aquariums, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization that provides veterinary care, live animal confiscation support, and conservation training services to federal agencies as a prime recipient of federal grants and purchase orders. The organization does not hold prime contract vehicles and operates primarily in a prime-recipient role (88% of recent awards) with minimal subcontract engagement under federal grants.
The Association of Zoos and Aquariums operates from Silver Spring, Maryland, with a customer footprint concentrated in natural-resource and wildlife-management agencies. The Department of the Interior dominates by potential value: Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters accounts for two awards worth $499 thousand combined, anchored by a September 2026 purchase order for year-round veterinary housing, care, and data management of confiscated native turtles (up to 500 animals to AZA care standards, with disease screening and genetic testing through August 2027); Fish and Wildlife Service proper carries two awards worth $258 thousand combined, including a February 2023 live animal confiscation services purchase order. The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service places eight awards, while the Smithsonian Institution places four awards totaling $71 thousand in combined potential value.
Recent work emphasizes veterinary and conservation support. Beyond the active DOI turtle-care contract, the organization serves as a subgrant recipient under two Oregon State University grants addressing inclusive STEM learning and community science capacity in zoo and aquarium settings (awards in October 2024 and February 2026), and participates in a National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grant managing land-based coral nursery training and stony coral tissue loss disease mitigation (award February 2024). Activity has remained modest and episodic — two awards in 2024, two in 2026, with one prior award (a February 2023 confiscation-services order) reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months. Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards since 2005 total $37.5 million, substantially exceeding the current $844 thousand in combined potential value, indicating historical larger commitments that have since wound down or been fulfilled.
