KNZ Solutions Inc.

KNZ Solutions Inc., an SBA 8(a)-certified minority-owned, black American–owned small disadvantaged business based in Vienna, Virginia with operations in Blaine, Minnesota, delivers IT infrastructure, network optimization, and data center solutions to the federal government as a prime contractor operating almost exclusively under 8(a) set-asides. The company is a Subchapter S corporation certified as a DOT-registered Disadvantaged Business Enterprise with a 2029 8(a) certification expiration date.

KNZ's federal footprint centers on one customer. The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center accounts for 74 of 80 awards (92.5% of award count) and $52.5 million in combined potential value across a highly concentrated delivery-order portfolio. The remaining five awards span the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (the $50 billion 8(a) STARS III GWAC ceiling), the NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations, the Department of Veterans Affairs St. Paul Regional Benefit Office, and the Air Force Academy. The dollar picture is skewed entirely by the $50 billion STARS III ceiling held by GSA, which is a multiple-award vehicle seat; the actual obligated dollars across all awards total $34.5 million, with real invoiced revenue concentrated in the NIH Clinical Center delivery-order stream.

KNZ operates as a value-added reseller and systems integrator specializing in IT hardware procurement, network infrastructure, and data center optimization for healthcare federal agencies. The representative contract work falls into two categories: discrete hardware and software refreshes (Cisco network maintenance renewal at $385,000 in February 2026; Cisco firewalls at $699,307.17 in July 2025; network optimization and internet service block at $4.36 million in July 2023) and IT services delivery orders for hybrid cloud monitoring, network optimization modules, firewall refresh, access governance, and disaster recovery design (managed network services at $366,000 in February 2026; IT support procurement at $426,000 in September 2024; branch circuit monitoring at $288,052.28 in September 2023). The PSC footprint is dominated by IT and Telecom application development software and high-performance compute hardware procurement (52 awards), with secondary concentrations in professional support services (7 awards) and business application software (5 awards). KNZ also supplies commercial off-the-shelf IT products: networking equipment, UPS systems, desktop workstations, servers, analytics platforms, and software licenses.

KNZ holds a $19.1 million 8(a) sole-source IDIQ with the NIH Clinical Center (ultimate completion May 31, 2027) that anchors 43 delivery orders at $10.4 million combined potential value, and maintains a $500,000 GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract. The GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 18 categories at $101.34 to $278.70 per hour, ranging from IT Associate Project Manager roles to IT Principal Technical Architect positions, with no security-clearance requirements and education framed as experience-based (2 to 15 years). The company does not offer cleared labor roles on its GSA Schedule.

Activity trajectory shows growth from 2022 to 2024 (12 awards in 2022 to 22 in 2024) followed by a sharp decline to 10 awards in 2025 and 4 in 2026 year-to-date. Nine awards (combined potential value $9 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure concentrated in the NIH Clinical Center single-award IDIQ vehicle. KNZ operates entirely as a prime contractor; no subcontract activity appears in the source. The 8(a) sole-source designation on the primary IDIQ and the prevalence of 8(a) sole-source delivery orders early in the portfolio (through 2024) reflects the vendor's reliance on set-aside mechanisms, though recent awards (2025 forward) increasingly shift to non-set-aside full-and-open competition under the underlying vehicles. All work is performed at KNZ's Blaine, Minnesota facility with subordinate performance at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
