What Zachary Piper Solutions does

Zachary Piper Solutions (ZPS) is a US government technical and professional services firm founded in 2011 and headquartered in McLean, Virginia, operating as a subsidiary of ZP Group. It supplies cleared technical professionals to federal agencies across six sectors: Intelligence, Defense, Energy, Homeland, Health, and Civilian. The firm originated from a single Department of Defense contract within the Intelligence Community and has grown into a national vendor with nine US offices spanning McLean, Conshohocken, Cary, Columbia, Charlotte, San Diego, Dallas, Tampa, and Laramie.

The company delivers work across four core practice areas: Cloud & IT Infrastructure, Cyber Security, Data Science & Analytics, and Software Engineering. Cyber capabilities span defensive cyber operations (intrusion detection, incident response, threat intelligence, digital forensics, malware analysis, insider threat, user behavior analytics), cyber security engineering (COTS implementations, IAM, mobile and cloud security, system hardening), and risk management and information assurance (A&A, vulnerability management, penetration testing). Software engineering covers the full lifecycle from application development and DevOps to UI/UX and data modeling. The data practice includes governance, ETL, statistical analysis, and AI/NLP/Machine Learning alongside predictive and credit risk modeling. ZPS does not sell a software product platform; the underlying "technology" is cleared professional capacity and methodology applied to classified and unclassified federal programs.

ZPS monetizes through federal contract awards, operating as both a prime contractor and a subcontractor to prime integrators on government programs. Pricing is contract-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led and organized around cleared-talent recruitment, with a dedicated careers portal, LinkedIn, Glassdoor, a Talent Community, and a Veterans recruitment portal featuring a Military Skills Translator. With 702 active job requisitions and a multi-state footprint, the firm runs a high-volume cleared-staffing model serving mission-focused federal programs.

Direct peers

• Booz Allen Hamilton: Booz Allen Hamilton is a major federal IT and cyber consulting firm serving the same Intelligence, Defense, and Civilian agencies that ZPS targets.

• CACI International: CACI provides cleared IT, cyber, and intelligence services to federal customers, often through subcontractor and prime relationships very similar to ZPS. It is a frequently named competitor and teaming partner in Intelligence and Defense recompetes.
• SAIC: SAIC is a large federal IT services integrator covering IT modernization, cyber, cloud, and data analytics for DoD, IC, and Civilian agencies — directly comparable to ZPS across all four of its core practice areas.
• Peraton: Peraton (formed via the Perspecta/Harris/etc. rollups) focuses on national security, intelligence, cyber, and enterprise IT with deeply cleared staff — a clear direct competitor for the same IC and Homeland Security programs.
• ECS Federal: ECS Federal is a mid-sized federal IT, cloud, cyber, and AI services firm that has been acquired by ASGN; it competes with ZPS in similar-sized cleared task orders across DoD and the Intelligence Community.
• ICF International: ICF International provides IT modernization, data analytics, and digital transformation services to federal civilian, defense, and homeland security clients — competing for the same Civilian/Homeland task orders ZPS pursues.
• Chenega Corporation: Chenega is an Alaska Native-owned federal IT, intelligence, and professional services contractor with a similar mid-tier positioning. It competes for the same cleared IT and cyber task orders across DoD and IC.

Others
