Zachary Pournazari

Zachary Pournazari, a sole proprietor based in West Hempstead, New York, provides mathematics instruction and tutoring services as an adjunct professor at the United States Merchant Marine Academy under a series of firm fixed-price purchase orders from the Maritime Administration. All eight awards in the portfolio are direct prime contracts; Pournazari performs all work without subcontracting and does not hold a federal contract vehicle seat or GSA schedule position.

Pournazari's customer footprint is entirely concentrated with a single agency. The Department of Transportation Maritime Administration accounts for all eight awards (100% of total count and combined potential value of $127 thousand) spanning academic years 2022–23 through 2026–27. The relationship is transactional and recurring—each academic term generates a new purchase order for adjunct-level instruction. Representative contracts include a $19,300 Competitive Small Business purchase order awarded July 29, 2026, covering mathematics instruction and tutoring for the Department of Math & Science through November 6, 2026 (in-term academic year 2026–27); a $20,900 no-set-aside purchase order from July 24, 2025, through November 1, 2025, for Calculus I, Calculus II, and Pre-Calculus instruction; and a $12,900 award from November 14, 2023, through March 8, 2024, for two sections of Calculus 2 and 65 hours of tutoring. Award values cluster between $11 thousand and $20.9 thousand per term.

Activity has remained stable at one to two awards annually since 2022, with combined potential value obligated at $127 thousand (100% of the ceiling). One award ($19.3 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting a single recompete opportunity in that window. Pournazari holds no demonstrated teaming or subcontract relationships and operates exclusively in direct support of the Academy's mathematics curriculum at the Kings Point, New York campus.
