Gzo, Inc.

Gzo, Inc., a San Antonio-based, 8(a)-certified minority-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business, serves as a prime contractor delivering IT infrastructure modernization, unified communications, digital experience monitoring, and innovation program management services to the Department of the Air Force across multiple commands. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements rather than set-aside categories, though it maintains active SBA certifications through 2027–2029; when set-asides are used, they are typically 8(a) sole-source designations for planning and programming support work.

Gzo's federal contract portfolio exceeds $9.3 billion in combined potential value across 89 prime awards, nearly all issued as delivery orders under five major indefinite delivery contracts. The largest vehicle by ceiling is the $151 billion Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ with the Missile Defense Agency (initial delivery order $500, December 29, 2025, through December 28, 2035), followed by an $8.75 billion Base Infrastructure Modernization Services IDIQ with Air Force Electronic Systems Center (August 15, 2024–August 14, 2034). Gzo holds four primary Air Force IDICs valued at approximately $100 million to $100 billion: the $99.999 billion Portfolio Modernization Framework IDC (September 30, 2024–September 29, 2029, 36 task orders, $99.9 million combined value); the $99.2 million FY24 Commercial Solutions Opening IDIQ for SAF/CN/CNSI (September 11, 2024–September 10, 2026, 21 task orders, $50.2 million combined value); the $104.9 million unified communications and digital experience monitoring IDC (September 30, 2022–September 30, 2027, 7 awards, $112.6 million combined value); and a $4.5 million 8(a) sole-source IDC with Air Education and Training Command for planning and programming support to the 802nd Civil Engineer Squadron (July 10, 2025–September 30, 2028, 7 delivery orders, $2.1 million combined value as of February 2026).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of the Air Force and its subordinate commands, which account for substantially all awards. By award count, the Air Force proper places 24 awards ($246.7 million potential value); Air Education and Training Command places 20 awards ($24.1 million); Air Combat Command places 14 awards ($119.1 million); Air Force Headquarters District Washington places 7 awards ($112.6 million); and Air Force Space Command places 6 awards ($5.7 million). By potential value, the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Electronic Systems Center's Base Infrastructure Modernization award dominates at $8.78 billion, dwarfing all other individual awards; aside from that single vehicle, the portfolio is distributed across smaller delivery orders across the Air Force enterprise.

Activity has grown substantially: three awards in 2022, thirteen in 2023, thirty-eight in 2024, thirty in 2025, and five through April 2026. The growth trajectory reflects Gzo's successful positioning on major Air Force modernization and innovation initiatives, particularly the Pathfinders program. Thirteen awards totaling $24.5 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure.

Gzo's concrete capability work centers on unified communications and digital experience monitoring solutions for Air Force command and control networks, IT infrastructure modernization and telecommunications data management elimination across Air Force installations, Azure cloud-hosted artificial intelligence and generative AI experimentation platforms (supporting the Air Force's Innovation Landing Zone), cybersecurity and Risk Management Framework accreditation support, planning and programming support including charrette reports and DD Form 1391 military construction documentation, machine learning training and AI/ML capability integration, and enterprise modernization services under the Air Force's Pathfinders program. Representative recent work includes a $30 million unified communications and digital experience monitoring delivery order with the Electronic Systems Center (April 24, 2024); a $29 million FY24 Commercial Solutions Opening delivery order for enterprise telecommunications data management elimination and modernization with Air Combat Command (September 30, 2024); a $19 million Pathfinder Enterprise Infrastructure Modernization delivery order spanning five Air Force bases (September 29, 2024); a $14.2 million Innovation Landing Zone continuous delivery and operations order on Microsoft Azure Government Cloud (September 30, 2025); an $8.77 million 16th Air Force Cyber Support Services order (May 28, 2025); and ongoing planning and programming support work for the 802nd Civil Engineer Squadron at Lackland Air Force Base under an 8(a) sole-source vehicle, with individual delivery orders ranging from $100,000 to $748,500.

Gzo operates entirely as a prime contractor (100% prime, 0% subcontractor role) and does not engage significant subcontractor labor; SCI data shows zero prime invoiced revenue and zero FTE hours across the three fiscal years captured, suggesting that either the company's service contracts are classified, excluded from SCI reporting thresholds, or reported under different legal entities. The vendor brings no named subcontractor footprint into federal work visible in the source material.
