Acquisition & Assistance
Fast and Flexible Acquisition & Assistance Support
At ZemiTek, our Acquisition & Assistance (A&A) team simplifies procurement, ensures compliance, and helps organizations navigate the complexities of federal awards. We deliver end-to-end support—from managing competitive awards and audits to overseeing financial processes, while maintaining strict alignment with regulations and best practices.
We empower organizations to build local capacity by guiding new partners through compliance and financial reporting requirements. Our team provides flexible, cost-effective solutions across a wide range of services, including Fixed Amount Awards and Personal Services Contracts (PSCs). A&A support extends to Grants Management, providing technical assistance, awards monitoring, and training in effective management practices.
By integrating acquisition and assistance functions, we respond quickly to program needs, delivering fast turnarounds on contract modifications, assistance actions, and audit processes. Our A&A team has also supported the full Closeout process for contracts and grants, executing timely settlement and de-obligations.
