Zoho Corporation

Zoho Corporation, doing business as Adventnet, is a foreign-owned software publisher headquartered in Pleasanton, California, that sells cloud-based IT management and help desk software to federal agencies as a prime contractor on hundreds of small-value purchase orders, competing full-and-open with no set-aside posture. The vendor's federal footprint spans 231 awards—99% prime—concentrated in software licenses and subscriptions for network monitoring, directory management, service desk ticketing, log analysis, and compliance auditing, predominantly through the ManageEngine product line. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $2.3 million, with $2.4 million obligated, indicating a high volume of micro-contract work averaging under $10,000 per award.

The top five customer agencies by award count and potential value overlap substantially. The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration leads both counts with 16 awards worth $276 thousand; the Department of Justice's Drug Enforcement Administration follows with 12 awards worth $171 thousand; the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research holds 11 awards worth $119 thousand; the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Law Enforcement Training Center accounts for 10 awards worth $143 thousand; and the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division placed 9 awards worth $38 thousand. Together these five agencies account for roughly 25% of award count and 37% of combined potential value. The vendor has served 74 distinct federal customer agencies in recent years, indicating broad shallow penetration rather than deep customer concentration. Largest named individual contracts include a $163.6 thousand sole-source award from NOAA for ManageEngine OpManager Plus network monitoring software (August 2023), a $54.2 thousand order from NIH Clinical Center for IT commodities (August 2022), and a $41.3 thousand award from the Office of Technology Services and Innovation for Active Directory audit software (July 2023). Recent activity shows flat to declining trajectory—10 awards in 2022, 10 in 2023, 13 in 2024, 8 in 2025, and only 2 in 2026 year-to-date—with four awards (combined potential value $79 thousand) reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months.

Award footprint sits on two named parent vehicles: one indefinite delivery contract under Air Force Space Systems Command and one under Army Research, Development and Engineering Command, each carrying one task order. The remaining 229 awards appear to be direct-award purchase orders executed outside vehicle structures. Primary NAICS categories are Software Publishers (95 awards) and Computing Infrastructure Providers (32 awards); primary PSCs are Information Technology Software (107 awards) and IT Annual Software Maintenance Service Plans (16 awards). Zoho subcontracts minimally—only two sub-awards in the source data, both recent: a 2025 sub-award to CACI Inc. Federal for MC2SC software and firmware, and a 2024 sub-award to General Dynamics Mission Systems Inc. for goods and services. The vendor's federal business model centers on standardized software license renewals and maintenance subscriptions at firm fixed prices, with work performed primarily at Pleasanton, California, though place-of-performance varies by agency location. SAM.gov registration dates to 2001, establishing a twenty-five-year federal presence, though the micro-contract velocity and flat activity trajectory suggest Zoho operates as a transactional software commodity provider rather than as a strategic IT services partner to any single agency.
