KNZ Solutions Inc.

KNZ Solutions Inc., an SBA 8(a)-certified minority-owned, black American-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Vienna, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor providing IT infrastructure, network optimization, and data center solutions to federal civilian agencies. The company competes predominantly under 8(a) set-asides (both sole-source and competitive designations) on its primary IDIQ vehicle, though it maintains unrestricted task-order activity on government-wide vehicles and holds recent awards under full-and-open competition on its newer SEWP VI GWAC.

KNZ's customer footprint is heavily concentrated at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, which accounts for 76 awards representing $55.8 million in combined potential value—nearly 99% of recent award volume. The company also works with the NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (3 awards, $5.5 million), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (3 awards, $60 billion in ceiling value), the General Services Administration (2 awards, $50 billion ceiling), and the Department of Veterans Affairs St. Paul Regional Benefit Office (1 award, $100 thousand). This concentration—with NIH Clinical Center dominating both volume and dollars across a multi-year engagement—reflects a longstanding prime relationship anchored by a $19.1 million 8(a) sole-source IDIQ awarded June 1, 2023, with ultimate completion May 31, 2027. Against that vehicle, KNZ has issued 46 task orders worth $18.2 million in combined potential value. Recent representative task orders include a $2.797 million IT modernization delivery order (September 2026), a $2.653 million 100G network optimization purchase order (August 2024), a $2.272 million network optimization and closet upgrades purchase order (July 2023), a $4.363 million network optimization and internet service block purchase order (July 2023), and a $1.5 million Software-Defined WAN infrastructure upgrade (July 2022). Smaller recurring orders span Cisco network maintenance renewals ($385 thousand, February 2026), managed network services ($366 thousand, February 2026), Cisco Identity Service Engine subscriptions ($1.12 million, August 2025), and supply-chain hardware procurement ($564 thousand, September 2026).

On November 1, 2026—two weeks prior to the summary date—NASA awarded KNZ Solutions three separate positions on SEWP VI, a $20 billion multiple-award GWAC reserved for total small business, partial small business, and competitive 8(a) set-asides respectively, running through October 31, 2036. SEWP VI is the federal government's one-stop acquisition vehicle for IT product and service solutions across all civilian agencies. This award represents a major expansion of KNZ's vehicle position and dramatically shifts the vendor's dollar footprint: the three SEWP VI awards alone carry a combined ceiling of $60 billion, dwarfing the company's historical $55.8 million in NIH task-order potential value. The company also holds a position on the 8(a) STARS III GWAC ($50 billion ceiling, February 23, 2022, General Services Administration), a government-wide vehicle under which federal agencies have placed task orders, and maintains a $500 thousand GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract with 18 active labor categories spanning IT Project Manager through IT Principal Technical Architect at $101.34 to $278.70 per hour, with no security-clearance requirements. The GSA Schedule roles are priced for experience bands ranging from two years (Associate level) to fifteen years (Principal level).

KNZ's concrete capability delivery centers on IT hardware procurement (networking equipment, servers, uninterruptible power supply systems, software licenses), network infrastructure refresh and optimization, Cisco firewall and network equipment maintenance and upgrades, hybrid cloud monitoring platforms, data center infrastructure management, disaster recovery design, access governance, data center encryption solutions, and managed network services. The company operates as a value-added reseller and systems integrator rather than a custom-services provider; the majority of task orders procure commercial off-the-shelf IT products—networking equipment, UPS systems, desktop workstations, analytics platforms, software subscriptions (SolarWinds, Cisco DNA Advantage, Infoblox, Forescout, IBM Pure Data)—alongside professional services for installation, design, and optimization. NAICS concentration reflects this hardware-centric model: 47 awards under Custom Computer Programming Services, 24 under Other Computer Related Services, 5 under Office Supplies Manufacturing, and 4 under Software Publishers. PSC codes cluster similarly: 45 awards under IT and Telecom Application Development Software (Perpetual License), 10 under IT and Telecom High Performance Compute (Hardware and Perpetual License), and 7 under Support Professional Other.

Activity has grown from 12 awards in 2022 to 22 in 2024, though it slowed to 10 in 2025 and 9 in 2026 (year-to-date through November). Eight awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $10.8 million and face recompete exposure. KNZ operates as a pure prime (100% of awards), with no subcontractor footprint in the source data. The company maintains operations at its Blaine, Minnesota facility with subordinate performance at customer agency locations, primarily the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. SBA 8(a) certification expires December 23, 2029.
