Zigabyte Corporation

Zigabyte Corporation, a veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in St. Joe, Indiana, delivers enterprise IT services, help desk operations, legacy application support, and systems engineering to the Department of the Air Force and the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (72% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on larger defense IT modernization programs. Zigabyte holds SBA certifications as both a Veteran-Owned Small Business and a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (both expiring January 22, 2028) and is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on Air Force vehicles, with recent exposure to full-and-open competition through the Missile Defense Agency's SHIELD contract vehicle.

Zigabyte's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Air Force commands. The top five customers by potential value account for 100% of the combined potential-value footprint: the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command dominates at $13.39 billion (driven by the SHIELD IDIQ ceiling rather than obligated work), followed by Air Force proper ($36.9 million), Air Force Materiel Command's Lifecycle Management Center at Maxwell AFB ($20.3 million), Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex ($12.5 million), and Air Force Space Command ($6.3 million). By award count, Air Combat Command leads with six awards, followed by Naval Sea Systems Command, Air National Guard, and the Missile Defense Agency with two each. The concentration skew between dollars and volume reflects Zigabyte's recent (December 2025) addition to the SHIELD multiple-award IDIQ, a $151 billion vehicle spanning multi-domain defense R&D, systems engineering, and modernization, though the initial delivery order carries only a $500 ceiling.

Zigabyte places most task orders through the Small Business Enterprise Application Solutions (SBEAS) IDIQ, a $13 billion Air Force multiple-award vehicle. Seven task orders totaling $98.9 million in combined potential value run against SBEAS, covering field assistance help desk support at Montgomery, Alabama (a $36.9 million delivery order awarded September 2023, invoicing $6.7 million across 57.8 FTEs in FY2024 at a derived rate of $56.01/hr with two subcontractors representing 48 percent of contractor hours), SharePoint and enterprise information services support for Air Force Space Command at Cheyenne Mountain AFB, Colorado ($6.3 million, awarded January 2026), legacy application support at Warner Robins ($12.5 million, awarded February 2023), base maintenance family of systems technical services at Maxwell AFB ($20.3 million, awarded February 2022 with ultimate completion July 2027), and ServiceNow software upgrades and enterprise systems integration for Air Combat Command ($1.47 million, completed September 2023). Three additional task orders under Network-Centric Solutions II and one order under Alliant II round out Zigabyte's parent-vehicle footprint. Zigabyte also holds a position on the Navy's Indefinite Delivery Contract N0017821D9472 (one $500 task order).

Activity has grown modestly: one award in 2022, three in 2023, four in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026, totaling eighteen awards (thirteen prime, five sub) with $13.47 billion in combined potential value, of which $77.7 million (1% of potential value) has been obligated. Only one award—the $20.3 million base maintenance family of systems contract—faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months and therefore recompete risk. On the sub side, Zigabyte performs Air Force secure network (SIPRNet) modernization services under Peraton Enterprise Solutions ($1.47 million equivalent, awarded March 2025), Air Force civil engineer control systems cybersecurity work under General Dynamics Information Technology (October 2024), and configuration management, IT sustainment support, and systems engineering technical support under Abacus Technology Corporation (three awards spanning March through May 2024).

Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts, Zigabyte invoiced $13 million as a prime from FY2023 through FY2024, with FY2023 at $6.3 million across 27.4 FTEs and FY2024 at $6.7 million across 57.8 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on prime service contracts ranged from $11.20/hr (10th percentile) through a median of $56.01/hr to $99.95/hr (90th percentile). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed an average of 12 percent of total contractor hours, with two named subcontractors appearing in the SCI records. Zigabyte's capability portfolio, grounded in NAICS spread across custom computer programming services (9 awards), wired telecommunications carriers (3 awards), and R&D in physical and engineering sciences (3 awards), emphasizes Air Force legacy-systems maintenance, enterprise service management, digital form development, and help desk operations rather than defense R&D or weapon-system development.
