The list is long and there are more yet to come but we share here a handful of awards that drew our attention upon first glance.    

Looking back on a year that included key wins at DOJ, DOL, the Defense Media Activity, and a very recent $36M HHS ACF contract, we caught up with Zolon Tech Inc. Dan Abernathy to learn more about this rapidly expanding IT and managed services company, its vast federal footprint and what 2024 has in store.
