Have you check with the Post Office?  One of their branches does sell
this information on tapes, you would have to make the database.  
It was located somewhere in Maryland, I think but I cannot find the
literature since I gave it to someone else to look over.  They have
everyone that has been assigned a nine digit zip in the country, but
you buy the tape a section at a time, was $12/section.
