AZI Consulting Inc.

AZI Consulting Inc., a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business based in Oakton, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor delivering specialized information-systems maintenance and technical support to federal agencies, with a concentrated footprint in the Department of Transportation. The firm is a Subchapter S corporation and Subcontinent Asian American–owned entity competing full-and-open rather than under set-aside vehicles; recent prime awards carry no set-aside designation.

AZI's primary capability centers on the Drug and Alcohol Testing Management Information System (DATMIS), a specialized federal compliance and testing-management platform serving the Transportation Security Administration, Federal Air Marshals, U.S. Coast Guard, and U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. AZI has served as the original developer and sole maintainer of DATMIS since 1988. The firm's most recent and largest award—a five-year Definitive Contract from the Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary, effective October 1, 2025—establishes a $1.22 million ceiling for DATMIS technical and maintenance support through September 30, 2030 (base year plus four option years). The award was made sole-source, with DOT justifying the approach on the basis of AZI's unique expertise, system complexity, and mission-disruption risk associated with contractor transition. The FY 2026 initial funding increment obligates $49,124 for the period February 1 through September 30, 2026.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Transportation accounts for 7 of 13 total prime awards (69% of award count) and $3.1 million of combined potential value across the vendor's footprint. GSA Federal Acquisition Service places one task order valued at $991 thousand under the Multiple Award Schedule, and the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention holds one micro-award of $17 thousand. The vendor operates entirely as a prime (100% of awards); no subcontractor activity is recorded.

Activity over the past two decades is sparse and episodic: one award each in 2008, 2015, 2020, and 2025, with two awards in 2016. Service Contract Inventory data captures minimal SCI-reportable volume—$379 thousand in invoiced revenue across FY2023 and FY2024 (no FY2022 invoicing reported)—delivered by approximately 0.6 FTEs on prime service contracts in each of those fiscal years. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI records run a median of $157.96 per hour. Across the GSA Schedule labor portfolio, five active labor categories span $131.95 to $187.19 per hour, covering programmer analyst, functional analyst, and subject matter expert roles requiring bachelor's degrees to master's degrees, with experience requirements from 12 to 20 years and no security-clearance roles offered.

The vendor's award portfolio carries $13.8 million in combined potential value with $2 million obligated to date (15% draw-down), and the concentrated DATMIS platform relationship with DOT dominates forward pipeline. Future competitive solicitation of DATMIS support may be considered upon completion of the current contract's option-year period, according to DOT justification language.
