About the company
Zapata Group, Inc., a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned architecture and engineering firm based in Charlotte, North Carolina, operates as a prime contractor (79% of awards) delivering multi-discipline facility design, renovation, modernization, and specialized engineering services across Department of Defense installations. The firm is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation that competes predominantly under small business set-asides, with three named joint-venture subsidiaries structured as small business joint ventures and a service-disabled veteran-owned joint venture.
Zapata's customer base concentrates sharply on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Savannah, which accounts for 28 awards valued at $165.7 million combined potential value—more than half of the vendor's total portfolio. The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command (11 awards, $49.5 million), the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville (3 awards, $49 million), and the Air Force Air Mobility Command (26 awards, $26.5 million) round out the top four customers, covering 97% of combined potential value. The concentration differential matters: Savannah District dominates both award count and dollars, while Huntsville's three awards carry outsized value through large-ceiling IDIQs despite low order frequency.
Zapata holds three primary IDIQ vehicles anchoring its prime work. A $140 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District for general design A/E services (awarded October 15, 2025, total small business set-aside) represents the largest current vehicle. A $30 million single-award NAVFAC Southeast IDIQ (June 13, 2023, total small business set-aside, expiring June 12, 2028) has generated nine delivery orders totaling approximately $12.8 million to date; recent work includes a $7.3 million delivery order for Powertrain Phase VI test cells at a naval facility (October 26, 2023) and an $8.9 million design contract for three Training and Readiness Facilities at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay (September 30, 2024). A $19.5 million multiple-award Air Mobility Command IDIQ (November 22, 2021, expiring May 21, 2027, total small business set-aside) for A/E services at Joint Base Charleston and outlying properties supports 26 task orders in the award portfolio. Representative delivery orders under this vehicle include a $987,624 total small business set-aside for renovation of Building 346 and demolition planning for two other structures (January 15, 2025) and a $562,917 no-set-aside order for munitions facility design (September 25, 2025).
Activity has fluctuated across five years, peaking at 21 awards in 2023, declining to 18 in 2024, and dropping to 10 in 2025 with only 2 awards recorded as of the source date in early 2026. Zapata faces a recompete exposure window of $16.6 million across 10 delivery orders completing within the next twenty-four months. The vendor's top parent contract vehicles by task order volume are two Army Corps of Engineers IDIQs—W912HN18D2001 with 27 task orders ($13.9 million combined potential value) and a design-build MACC by contract number—alongside NAVFAC's N6945023D0018 with 11 task orders ($23.7 million).
In its subcontractor role, Zapata delivers A/E and design services to prime contractors including Electric Boat Corporation (submarine and naval systems work involving engineering change instructions and technical support spanning 2022–2025), Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company (P200 NPTU Simulator Training Facility design at varying percentages through March 2025), Stantec Consulting Services (architectural and engineering design for building renovations at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base), Aktarius LLC (building storm water drainage and demolition design services), and Dawson Enterprises and Dawson McG, Inc. (building security system updates and envelope repair design). The subcontractor footprint emphasizes engineering and design support within larger prime-led facility modernization and construction programs.
Zapata's award portfolio concentrates in Engineering Services NAICS (82 awards) with secondary exposure to Ship Building and Repairing (10 awards, reflecting Electric Boat Corporation sub-work). PSC codes show emphasis on Architect and Engineering–General for other purposes (36 awards), Landscaping and Interior Layout Design (13 awards), and Construction-related exhibit design and building maintenance (8 awards combined). The combined potential value across all 98 prime and sub awards stands at $302 million, with $57.8 million obligated to date (19% realization rate), indicating significant unfunded ceiling capacity on active IDIQs and a pipeline weighted toward future task order growth.
