Anthony Zemo

Anthony Zemo serves as a procurement specialist responsible for managing complex construction and infrastructure-related acquisitions within a federal agency focused on facility modernization and public works. He oversees the full lifecycle of contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations. His portfolio centers on specialty trade contracts requiring technical oversight and coordination with engineering and facilities management teams, making him a key liaison between agency stakeholders and the construction industry. Zemo maintains a balanced contractor ecosystem, engaging both large-scale general contractors and niche specialty trade firms to deliver high-quality construction outcomes. He frequently collaborates with plumbing, heating, and HVAC contractors, as well as heavy civil engineering firms, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on performance reliability and regulatory adherence. His approach emphasizes competitive bidding while encouraging innovation through performance-based specifications and clear deliverables. His procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly one-third of his awards directed toward small business set-asides. Of these, HUBZone contractors receive consistent consideration, while total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 are regularly utilized to promote geographic and economic diversity in contracting. He strategically employs set-asides to enhance competition and support underserved communities, aligning with federal mandates to broaden participation. Zemo’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), followed by heavy civil engineering and commercial building construction. He specializes in procuring integrated mechanical systems, infrastructure upgrades, and specialized trade services for institutional and public facilities. His expertise spans HVAC design-build delivery, energy-efficient retrofits, and compliance with building codes and sustainability standards, positioning him as a subject matter expert in mission-critical facility infrastructure acquisitions.
