ECZ & Company LLC

ECZ & Company LLC, a McLean, Virginia-based woman-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business, operates exclusively as a subcontractor delivering engineering services to the federal government, with all ten recent awards routed through Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on Department of Defense work. The vendor is structured as a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned sole proprietorship limited liability company competing under set-aside categories across its subcontract footprint.

ECZ's entire award footprint concentrates in Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) Division engineering support under the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Seven task orders dated August 2024 and one dated June 2024 address JKO support engineering, with one additional April 2024 task order for JKO operations and maintenance base engineering. All work flows through Northrop Grumman as the prime contractor. The vendor's combined obligated value across ten awards totals $5.9 million, with the earliest award dated September 2023 and the most recent cluster arriving August 2024.

ECZ operates under two parent vehicles: eight task orders sit on the Seaport Next Generation contract vehicle; one task order sits on the Joint Force Development Services for the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff vehicle. The concentration of nine awards in 2024 following a single 2019 award suggests recent acceleration into the Northrop Grumman subcontractor pipeline. Service Contract Inventory data from FY2022 captures 3.3 FTEs delivered on a single named-subcontractor record above the $150,000 reporting threshold; SCI captures only service contracts meeting that dollar floor and excludes goods, products, and classified work, so this figure represents a partial view of the vendor's federal services activity rather than total federal or enterprise revenue.

The vendor's market position is as a feeder subcontractor to Northrop Grumman on DoD knowledge-management and engineering-support work, with no prime contract vehicle presence and no diversification across agencies or prime contractors in the recent award history. Recompete risk or opportunity is concentrated in the Seaport Next Generation vehicle, which anchors most of ECZ's task-order volume.
