Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center (IMSC), a sub-agency within the Air Force's principal logistics and installation-support organization, procures and funds installation management, base operations, life support, environmental remediation, medical training and support, library services, and contingency response capabilities across global Air Force installations.

IMSC operates under a highly distributed contract award portfolio spanning 15,814 awards since 1996, with combined potential value of $21.98 billion and $23.76 billion in obligated dollars. Recent contract activity closed at 245 awards in 2022, 232 in 2023, 196 in 2024, 201 in 2025, and 87 year-to-date in 2026, reflecting a declining cadence over the past three years. The competitive landscape is highly fragmented; the top five primes by award count account for only 7 percent of recent awards, with Lata-Cti Environmental Services LLC (16 awards, $27.4 million), Jones Lang Lasalle Americas, Inc. (14 awards, $136.8 million), and HDR Environmental, Operations And Construction, Inc. (13 awards, $19.9 million) leading. By combined potential value, fragmentation deepens further at 2 percent concentration: Jones Lang Lasalle leads at $136.8 million across 14 awards, followed by BB&E, Inc. ($119.2 million, 8 awards) and FPM Remediations, Inc. ($72.5 million, 8 awards). Across 1,591 distinct primes in the portfolio, no single vendor dominates. Set-aside awards lean heavily toward open competition: 80 percent carry no set-aside, 10 percent are Total Small Business, 4 percent Partial Small Business, and 4 percent are 8(a) Sole Source, with HUBZone, WOSB, and SDVOSB representing minimal share.

IMSC also funds grant activity, though at much smaller scale: 105 total grant awards since 2009 have obligated $402.4 million in federal dollars. Grant activity trended at 9 awards in 2022, 11 in 2023, 15 in 2024, 5 in 2025, and 5 year-to-date in 2026. All awards are Cooperative Agreements. Grant recipient concentration is highly concentrated among the top five by award count at 73 percent coverage, with Colorado State University dominating: 21 awards obligating $56.9 million in federal dollars, followed by Texas A&M Agrilife Research (6 awards, $3 million) and University Of Alaska Anchorage, University Of Hawaii, and Florida Three Rivers Resource Conservation And Development Council (2 awards each). By federal dollars, concentration weakens to 17 percent: Colorado State University's $56.9 million across 21 awards remains the largest single commitment, but Arizona Department of Game and Fish ($4.4 million, 1 award), Texas A&M ($3 million, 6 awards), and Florida Three Rivers ($1.8 million, 2 awards) fragment the long tail. Among 28 distinct grant recipients, university and state-agency recipients predominate.
