Delany, Siegel, Zorn & Associates, Inc.

Delany, Siegel, Zorn & Associates, Inc., doing business as DSZ, is a woman-owned small business (WOSB) and SBA-certified small disadvantaged business (SDB) based in Arlington, Virginia, that provides Equal Employment Opportunity investigation, counseling, mediation, and alternative dispute resolution services to federal agencies as a prime contractor. DSZ operates predominantly on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) and competes across both set-aside and full-and-open procurements, with recent awards split between Total Small Business set-asides and non-set-aside designations. The vendor also holds multiple socioeconomic certifications including minority-owned business and economically disadvantaged women-owned small business status, though WOSB and SDB certifications anchor its market positioning.

DSZ's federal footprint centers on EEO and human resources compliance services. Representative work includes a $6.76 million delivery order through June 2030 with the Defense Human Resources Activity for EEO investigations and related services under the MAS; a $3.17 million single-award Social Security Administration BPA running through December 2029 for EEO case processing, investigations, counseling, and final agency decisions; a $2.67 million Department of Transportation delivery order (option year exercise for $511,045 through September 2026) for EEO investigations and discrimination complaint processing; a $2.9 million Woman-Owned Small Business set-aside BPA call with the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration for EEO investigative services through March 2026; and a $16 million Transportation Security Administration multiple-award BPA (ultimately expiring September 2026) for EEO complaint resolution and investigative services. Smaller awards span the Federal Communications Commission, Department of Justice Executive Office for Immigration Review, NASA, Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Internal Revenue Service, Department of Commerce, and Department of Health and Human Services, with work ranging from sub-$100,000 counseling and mediation calls to six-figure investigation and case-processing BPA calls.

The vendor's customer concentration is diffuse across 140 federal agencies in the source data, but tracked by award count, the Social Security Administration (167 awards, $16.2 million combined potential value), National Aeronautics and Space Administration Headquarters (180 awards, $6.8 million), and Department of Agriculture Office of Operations (132 awards) represent the top tier. By potential value, Social Security Administration leads ($16.2 million across 167 awards), followed by the Department of Transportation (23 awards, $14.6 million combined potential value), and NASA (180 awards, $6.8 million). The concentration is modest—the top five customers by award count account for 33% of awards—reflecting DSZ's position as a specialized but widely-used provider of EEO services across civilian and defense agencies.

DSZ's vehicle position is anchored to the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. The Federal Supply Schedule GS22F9784H carries 1,065 task orders worth $550.2 million in combined potential value, with subordinate BPAs including GS22F9784H-SS000940023 (169 task orders, $3.7 million) and GS22F9784H-NNH13CH82Z (117 task orders, $483 thousand). A separate Multiple Award Schedule vehicle shows 128 task orders valued at $78.2 million. Notably, an Indefinite Delivery Contract (N0042116D0008) carries 87 task orders worth $234 thousand. The bulk of DSZ's federal volume flows through the GSA MAS, which permits pre-negotiated EEO-labor rates ($99.28/hr for entry-level administrative support through $286.81/hr for alternative dispute resolution and mediation specialists) across ten labor categories with no security-clearance requirements.

Activity has declined modestly year over year—18 awards in 2022 to 7 in 2024, with 3 in 2025 and 2 through May 2026—representing a slowdown from prior volume but typical of a mature schedule-holder with a large standing base. The recompete cliff is minimal: only 3 awards (combined potential value $275 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating low near-term recompete pressure. Service Contract Inventory data capture a subset of DSZ's federal services work: SCI-reportable invoicing totaled $4.9 million across FY2022–FY2024 ($3.5 million in FY2023, $1.4 million in FY2024), with zero reported FTEs across all fiscal years in the source. This zero-FTE reporting reflects SCI's capture of contract values rather than direct headcount and likely indicates DSZ structures staffing as task-order-driven rather than permanent-establishment, consistent with BPA and delivery-order work patterns.

DSZ operates 100% as a prime contractor with no subcontract awards in the source data and zero sub-hours share reported across SCI-reportable contracts. The vendor builds its own delivery teams for EEO investigations, counseling, alternative dispute resolution, and related compliance work rather than relying on subcontractor capacity. The primary NAICS concentration is Investigation and Personal Background Check Services (NAICS 561611, 1,334 awards), with secondary categories in Administrative Management Consulting (209 awards) and Human Resources Consulting Services (92 awards). PSC coding skews heavily toward Support-Professional: Other (1,041 awards), followed by Support-Management: Other (187 awards) and Support-Professional: Legal (168 awards), reflecting the mission-support and HR-compliance nature of the work.
