About the company
Quality Associates, Inc., doing business as Q A I, supplies microfilm, microfiche, and document scanning hardware alongside software maintenance and document digitization services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open procurements without set-aside designation. Q A I is a subsidiary of foreign-owned Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc., headquartered in Fulton, Maryland, and operates as a manufacturer and equipment supplier across a diverse civilian agency customer base. The vendor competes predominantly on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and holds a $475,000 ceiling Federal Supply Schedule contract running through October 2027, which carries 93 labor categories spanning document conversion clerks at $22.12 per hour through senior developers at $308.01 per hour with mid-range technical and project management roles at $58–$81 per hour; no security-cleared positions are offered.
Q A I's customer concentration is fragmented across 138 distinct agencies, with no single customer dominating the prime award portfolio. The top five customers by award count—the Social Security Administration (35 awards, $5.4 million potential value), Federal Election Commission (24 awards, $364 thousand), National Archives and Records Administration (20 awards, $1.6 million), Department of Justice Civil Rights Division (19 awards, $200 thousand), and EPA Region 5 (15 awards, $130 thousand)—account for only 19% of all awards. By potential value, the distribution shifts toward health-related agencies: the National Institutes of Health (10 awards, $19.2 million), Food and Drug Administration (11 awards, $16.3 million), and NIH National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (9 awards, $8.7 million) collectively represent 26% of combined potential value, indicating larger individual orders from HHS components despite lower award frequency. The Social Security Administration recurs as both a high-volume and high-dollar customer across both rankings, driven by recurring microfilm scanner maintenance renewals.
Q A I places work almost exclusively under two parent vehicles: The Office Imaging and Document Solution (235 task orders, $59.8 million combined potential value) and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (225 task orders, $14.9 million), with minimal activity on Alliant II, Alliant, and a single blanket purchase agreement. Recent representative awards include a $337,599.94 Defense Finance and Accounting Service delivery order (April 2025) for microfiche scanner maintenance and software support through March 2028; a $78,450 Shared Services Center order (May 2026) for microfilm and microfiche scanners; a $70,750.08 Social Security Administration order (September 2025) for Mekel MACHX microfilm roll scanner maintenance; and recurring Kofax software maintenance orders ($15,000–$18,000 range) across the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division and Federal Election Commission. The vendor's NAICS concentration reflects its hardware and software posture: Computer Systems Design Services dominates at 224 awards, followed by All Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing (192 awards), with PSC concentration in Information Technology Software (144 awards) and Printing, Duplicating, and Bookbinding Equipment (38 awards).
Activity over the past five years has remained flat at 8–11 awards annually (2022–2026), with a combined potential value of $198.9 million across all 593 awards (prime and sub). Only four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing $444 thousand in combined potential value—a minimal recompete cliff. Q A I operates primarily as a prime (98% of recent awards) and subcontracts only rarely; the SCI dataset captures minimal service-contract activity—a single subcontractor record in FY2022 reflecting 2.4 FTEs under a sub-award. Named subcontractor engagement is lightweight: Q A I subs to Salient CRGT, Inc. on EPA Enterprise Support Services and Endpoint Technology (ESSET) task orders (June 2024–June 2026), to CGI Federal Inc. on a Digital Asset Management Solution (February–June 2024), and to Guidehouse Inc. on an HHS Administration for Children and Families Office of Refugee Resettlement records digitization requirements-gathering effort (March 2026). These sub relationships are sporadic and represent a small fraction of Q A I's federal portfolio. The vendor's core capability remains equipment sales and software licensing for document imaging; its role in the federal market is equipment provider and systems integrator rather than labor-intensive services prime.
