About Zimmerman Associates, Inc.
Zimmerman Associates, Inc., doing business as Z A I, is a Virginia-based Subchapter S Corporation that provides federal library and information management services, technical support, and professional services as a prime contractor (99% of awards) across 46 civilian and defense agencies, competing on a full-and-open basis without set-aside designations. Founded over 35 years ago and headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, ZAI competes across engineering services, facilities support, administrative services, and specialized library operations, with a long-standing presence on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and two large USDA and NIH indefinite delivery vehicles.
ZAI's customer concentration is bifurcated by dollar and volume metrics. By award count, the top five agencies—Department of the Navy (78 awards), FDA (39 awards), GSA Federal Acquisition Service (35 awards), Department of the Air Force (24 awards), and NIH National Cancer Institute (22 awards)—account for 51% of recent awards. By potential value, however, the profile shifts dramatically: Federal Emergency Management Agency Mitigation Section (11 awards, $158.9 million), Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (5 awards, $101.4 million), and GSA Federal Acquisition Service (35 awards, $33 million) drive 67% of combined potential value. This divergence reflects ZAI's mix of high-volume, lower-dollar task orders against the GSA schedule and Navy contracts alongside a smaller number of large dollar-value awards with FEMA and PBGC.
ZAI's primary vehicles are the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (73 task orders, $64.9 million combined potential value) and two Federal Supply Schedules (GS35F5405H with 54 task orders, $37.4 million, and GS23F0009K with 46 task orders). The vendor recently gained a $151 billion ceiling Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ with the Missile Defense Agency, awarded December 29, 2025, with an initial $500 delivery order. ZAI also holds a $17.6 million multiple-award BPA with the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service running through August 2028, and a $4.5 million NIH Office of the Director library services BPA accessed via the GSA schedule.
Representative prime awards include a $547,561.87 BPA call from USDA for two reference librarians at the National Agricultural Library's Calverton, Maryland facility through February 2029; a series of quarterly BPA calls from NIH's Office of the Director for library support services (individual quarterly calls ranging from $194,464.70 to $292,283.60) supporting collection management, cataloging, and user support; and a $101,193.80 purchase order from HHS for NIH library services (July 2024–July 2025). ZAI's award portfolio spans 388 total awards since 1982, with combined potential value of $480.8 million and $403.4 million obligated (84% of potential value). Activity has slowed in recent years—four awards in 2022 declining to one award in 2026 year-to-date—signaling a contraction from historical pace, though the recent SHIELD IDIQ ceiling and active USDA/NIH vehicles position the vendor for large-scale recompete opportunity.
ZAI operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor (99% of awards). SCI-reported invoicing in FY2022–2023 totaled $459 thousand across library support roles, with government-paid hourly rates on federal service contracts ranging from a median of $49.15/hr to up to $54.26/hr at the 90th percentile. The vendor's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 75 categories from Clerk ($26.18/hr) through Systems Engineer VI ($142.33/hr), with no security-cleared positions offered and education requirements from high school to bachelor's degree. ZAI performs minimal subcontracting—only three named sub-awards in the source (to Amentum Services, Serco Inc., and Applied Enterprise Management Corporation)—and carries 0% sub-hours share on SCI-reportable prime contracts, indicating the vendor staffs and delivers most work directly. The vendor's technical profile centers on engineering and technical services (62 awards), facilities and facilities support (32 awards), administrative services (28 awards), and library services (38 awards under PSC Support-Administrative: Library).
