What Zeiders Enterprises, Inc. does

Zeiders Enterprises, Inc. is a privately held, veteran-owned government contractor founded in 1984 and headquartered in Woodbridge, Virginia. The company delivers human services to U.S. military service members, veterans, and their families on behalf of the Department of Defense and other federal agencies. Its service portfolio spans seven core lines — Behavioral Health, Career Services, Human Performance, Learning and Development, Military and Family Support, Personal Financial Management, and Transition Services — plus a recently launched State and Local Government Services practice. Services are delivered through a global infrastructure that includes ICMI-certified contact centers, a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, a custom Learning Management System, mobile training teams, and on-site staffing at 63+ Fleet and Family Support Centers worldwide, generating over 4 million annual customer contacts. Leadership has been provided by founder Mike Zeiders (Chairman) since inception and by Paul Richardson (President & CEO) since approximately 2012.

The company monetizes exclusively through professional services contracts with federal customers, holding five major contract vehicles: GSA Multiple Award Schedule (GS-02F-0234W), OASIS+ (47QRCA25DU196), HR Solutions PLS (W15QKN-19-D-0057), SeaPort NxG (N00178-19-D8862), and PRISM (W4S-25D001-08). Contract types include firm fixed price, Cost Plus Fixed Fee, and Time & Materials, with multi-year terms. Its anchor customer is the U.S. Navy / Commander Naval Installations Command under the Fleet and Family Support Program, a 25+ year incumbent relationship. Zeiders is privately held with no disclosed venture or private equity backing; it reports no public financials. Over 65% of its 1,001–5,000 employees have direct military affiliations (40% military spouses, 25% veterans), a staffing profile that functions as both a cultural differentiator and a procurement advantage in DoD work.

The technology stack is operationally focused rather than productized: enterprise HR (UKG Pro), project accounting (Deltek), a proprietary LMS, telehealth video, case management, and certified contact center tooling. The company has no disclosed AI/ML products, no patent portfolio, no API platform, and no software revenue line — it is a labor-and-services organization rather than a software or SaaS business. Expansion is being pursued through new contract vehicles, a state and local government vertical, and dedicated business development hiring.
