Mpf-Zai Solutions LLC

Mpf-Zai Solutions LLC, a woman-owned small business headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland, delivers administrative, technical, and information management services to the federal government as a prime contractor on records management, data abstraction, document control, and library staffing work. The company holds multiple SBA certifications including minority-owned business, small disadvantaged business, economically disadvantaged women-owned small business, and HUBZone joint-venture designations, and competes predominantly on an unrestricted (full-and-open) basis despite its set-aside-eligible status—only one of 62 recent awards carries a set-aside designation (Competitive 8(a)).

Mpf-Zai's customer concentration is extreme and distinctive. Two agencies account for 100% of recent awards: the Food and Drug Administration (47 awards, $328 million combined potential value) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (15 awards, $16.3 million combined potential value). The FDA dominates both volume and dollars by an order of magnitude, with NOAA work concentrated in library staffing and scientific writing support at facilities in Silver Spring, Woods Hole, and Asheville. Representative FDA work spans records management, data abstraction, document control, and inspection-data processing across multiple centers. Named examples include a $8.7 million time-and-materials delivery order awarded September 2025 for tobacco retailer inspection data review and regulatory integrity assessment under the Center for Tobacco Products contract; a $2 million firm-fixed-price purchase order awarded June 2026 for scientific data abstraction and information management services to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research; an $8.6 million firm-fixed-price delivery order awarded September 2024 for tobacco retailer inspection data review; and a $3.4 million delivery order awarded October 2023 for Dockets Management Staff support.

Mpf-Zai operates under three primary IDV vehicles: a $65 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products (set aside for total small businesses), from which 14 task orders totaling $6.8 million have been issued; a $112 million single-award IDV with the FDA for records information management services (from which 40 task orders totaling $119.1 million have been issued); and a $9.5 million single-award IDIQ with NOAA for library staffing (from which 14 task orders totaling $6.8 million have been issued). The FDA vehicle 75F40120D00022 anchors 40 of 62 awards and carries $119.1 million of the $344.3 million combined potential value.

Activity has declined sharply year over year—14 awards in 2022, 12 in 2023, 8 in 2024, down to 2 in both 2025 and 2026. Ten awards (combined potential value $29.2 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, signaling recompete exposure across the vendor's narrow customer base. SCI-reported invoicing rose from $18.8 million in FY2022 to $31.4 million in FY2024 across a growing workforce, with government-paid rates ranging from a median of $48.45 per hour to a 90th-percentile ceiling of $79.16 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed 91% of contractor hours—118 named subcontractors were engaged—indicating Mpf-Zai operates as a prime-of-record that sources most delivery through an extensive sub network rather than building its own direct-labor bench. The vendor operates 100% as a prime on all 62 recent awards with no sub-award footprint, placing it outside the teaming supply chain for larger integrators seeking specialized subcontractors.
