Book Zurman, Inc.

Book Zurman, Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) based in Seminole, Florida, provides healthcare information technology standards support, security architecture, and program management services to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor operating exclusively under veteran-owned and SDVOSB sole-source set-asides. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and registered small business since 2010, with a subsidiary, Nxtgen Solutions Joint Ventures LLC, a SDVOSB joint venture entity.

Book Zurman's customer base concentrates heavily on the Veterans Affairs ecosystem. The top five funding entities account for 85% of recent awards by count and 99% by potential value, led by VA's Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 (12 awards, $44.5 million combined potential value) and VA's Technology Acquisition Center Austin (11 awards, $35.1 million combined potential value). These two funding entities anchor the vendor's footprint; remaining VA contracting offices—Headquarters, Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick—plus the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of the Navy round out the customer set. Book Zurman competes exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards); the vendor holds no subcontract position in the source data.

Recent representative work illustrates the capability focus. Book Zurman won a $2.676 million definitive contract from VA Headquarters for integrated standards support services (award date July 7, 2026, completion October 6, 2027, SDVOSB sole source). Earlier, the company delivered a $1.494 million Integrated Health Standards Support contract from VA for specialized services to the Digital Health Office (award date September 30, 2025, completion June 29, 2026, SDVOSB sole source). Book Zurman also secured a $1.818 million contract modification to descope integrated health standards support from VA's Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick (award date September 30, 2024, completion September 29, 2025). In addition to VA work, the company holds a $2.7 million delivery order from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration under the Multiple Award Schedule (award date September 22, 2022, completion September 21, 2025) to develop machine-learning models addressing COVID-19 and patient-centered outcomes research questions in partnership with three healthcare information exchanges.

Book Zurman places work under three parent vehicles: an VA Indefinite Delivery contract (13 task orders, $25.9 million combined potential value), the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (6 task orders, $10.1 million combined potential value), and the GSA IT Schedule 70 (1 task order, $3.1 million combined potential value). The vendor offers 62 GSA Schedule labor categories spanning administrative, program-management, and health IT clinical roles, with hourly rates ranging from $29.32/hr (Health IT Administrative/Clerical Assistant I) to $210.81/hr (Health IT Clinical SME III with doctoral degree); the median government-paid rate on SCI-reportable contracts sits around $133.65/hr, with senior technical roles pricing through $201/hr. SCI-reported invoicing totaled $2.8 million across seven prime records (FY2023–FY2024), delivered by approximately 3–5 FTEs annually, with an 18% average sub-hours share across prime contracts and five named subcontractors reported.

Activity has been episodic; the vendor recorded two awards in 2021, one in 2022, and single awards in 2024, 2025, and 2026 respectively. Combined potential value across all 33 recent awards sits at $89.3 million, with $41 million obligated to date (46% of potential value). Only one award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months ($2.7 million), representing minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's award footprint is grounded in VA healthcare IT and standards services under SDVOSB set-asides, with no significant defense prime work or multi-agency diversification beyond the core VA customer.
