ICF Incorporated, L.L.C.

ICF Incorporated, L.L.C., a large for-profit consulting and technology services firm headquartered in Reston, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) delivering environmental assessment, program management, data analytics, and technical support services to federal civilian agencies across a $260.65 billion combined-potential-value portfolio spanning 6,014 awards. The company competes exclusively on full-and-open procurements without small business set-asides, with a subsidiary structure including Incentive Technology Group LLC, ICF Consulting India Private LIMITED, ICF Esac LLC, Creative Systems and Consulting L.L.C., and Semanticbits LLC, and operates under parent company ICF Consulting Group, Inc.

ICF's customer concentration is dominated by environmental and health agencies. The Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Air and Radiation anchors the portfolio with 642 awards ($6.93 billion combined potential value), followed by the CDC Pittsburgh ($3.02 billion across 179 awards) and the Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration ($766.7 million across 381 awards). Together, these three customers account for roughly 25% of awards but drive outsized dollar concentration—EPA OAR alone represents 2.6% of total potential value. Across 351 distinct customer agencies served, the top five funders account for only 31% of award volume but approximately 50% of potential value, reflecting substantial work with mid-tier civilian agencies (NIH, DOL, NSF, DHS, HHS Administration for Children and Families) in addition to the three anchor customers.

ICF's contract vehicle footprint spans government-wide and agency-specific IDIQs and BPAs. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule is the primary vehicle, carrying 1,137 task orders ($10.48 billion combined potential value). The vendor holds major single-award or multiple-award BPAs with EPA's Office of Air and Radiation ($425.8 million through November 2029), the National Science Foundation ($95 million through August 2030), the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency for National Background Investigation Services ($800 million through July 2030), and the CDC for ATSDR public health support ($25 million through September 2031). ICF also sits on the Alliant 3 GWAC (unrestricted, multiple-award, through March 2036), the OASIS+ Unrestricted GWAC, the CIO-SP3 GWAC, and the NASA SEWP VI GWAC (awarded November 2026, $20 billion ceiling through October 2036), positioning the vendor to place task orders across civilian, defense, and NASA customer bases. Recent activity shows 114 awards in 2026 (through November 1) and 123 in 2025, a modest decline from 247 in 2024, reflecting normal portfolio cycling rather than contraction.

Recent representative contract work spans environmental regulation, infrastructure, child welfare, and public health. ICF delivered a $77.8 million delivery order to the Administration for Children and Families for the State and Territory Child Care Capacity Building Center (September 2026, through September 2031) under the Multiple Award Schedule, providing capacity-building technical assistance to state and territorial child care systems. The company holds multiple regional Head Start training and technical assistance contracts awarded in September 2025 to ACF, ranging from $5.4 million (Region 7) to $22.6 million (Region 4), all under time-and-materials pricing through June 2028. For the EPA, ICF delivers a $19.2 million task for Energy Star product specifications under the OAP Mission Support BPA (August 2025, through September 2030) and a $3.6 million call for Stratospheric Protection Division substitutes support (September 2025, through October 2030). The Federal Highway Administration issued a $22.8 million delivery order for the DOT GrantLens Discretionary Grants Lifecycle Management System and Transparency Dashboard (December 2025, through November 2030), with notable subcontractors including Global Alliant Inc. (SBA 8(a) certified), PBG Consulting (EDWOSB/WOSB), 3500 Square LLC (8(a) and HUBZone certified), and Strongbridge LLC (VOSB). The CDC Pittsburgh awarded a $23 million order for BioSense/National Syndromic Surveillance Program support (March 2026, through March 2028) with subcontractors Inductivehealth Informatics LLC, Kahuina Consulting LLC (8(a) minority-owned small disadvantaged business), and Kshetra LLC. ICF also received a $90.67 million delivery order from ACF for Child Welfare Information Gateway capacity-building under the CIO-SP3 GWAC (August 2025, through August 2030) and a $23.8 million Option Year #1 renewal for National Child Welfare Data Management System operations and maintenance (September 2025, through September 2030).

ICF's federal grant footprint includes cooperative agreements and project grants from HHS and HUD. The Administration for Children and Families awarded a $1.189 million cooperative agreement for the National Center on Child Maltreatment Fatality Data Practices and Reporting under CFDA 93.670 (September 2026, through September 2031). HUD's Assistant Secretary for Policy, Development and Research awarded two cooperative agreements in March 2026: $1.963 million for Homelessness Management Information System (HMIS) implementation support and $355 thousand for Community Compass Technical Assistance and Capacity Building (both through September 2029). The Bureau of Justice Statistics (CFDA 16.734) awarded a $1.199 million cooperative agreement for the National Survey of Victim Service Providers (January 2025, through December 2026). HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded a $1.5 million project grant for Indian Housing Block Grants program capacity-building and technical assistance (October 2025, through September 2027).

ICF operates as a large delivery organization rather than primarily a subcontractor. Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts, the vendor deployed 1,427 FTEs in FY2022, rising to 4,265 FTEs in FY2024, then declining to 1,472 FTEs in FY2025. SCI-reported invoiced revenue totaled $1.48 billion across FY2022–FY2025 ($224.9 million in FY2022, $453.6 million in FY2023, $435.5 million in FY2024, $370 million in FY2025). On federal service contracts captured in SCI, government-paid hourly rates run median around $127/hr, with the 10th percentile at $55/hr and the 90th percentile at $232/hr, reflecting a broad labor mix from entry-level support staff through principal consultants. The GSA labor portfolio spans 233 unique categories ranging from Research Technician III at $56.68/hr through Principal Consultant 4 at $421.73/hr, with education requirements from high school through master's degree and no security-cleared roles advertised. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors perform approximately 5% of contractor hours on average, and ICF engages 875 named subcontractors across its federal portfolio. Recent named subs include Softek Services Inc. (SBA 8(a) small business), Inductivehealth Informatics LLC, Kahuina Consulting LLC (8(a) minority-owned small disadvantaged business), Kshetra LLC, Dynamo Technologies LLC (8(a) certified), Lux Consulting Group Inc. (HUBZone-certified minority-owned small disadvantaged business), and Heitech Services LLC (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business).

ICF faces recompete exposure of $782.1 million (combined potential value across 229 awards) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Activity trajectory shows award volume declining from a peak of 269 in 2023 to 114 in 2026 year-to-date, though this reflects normal portfolio cycling and does not indicate loss of customer relationships—the vendor's top five customers remain anchored in EPA, CDC, and FHWA, with stable multi-million-dollar task order pipelines across energy efficiency, health surveillance, and transportation domains. The company's substantial GWAC and BPA holdings (particularly the $800 million DCSA vehicle, $425.8 million EPA OAR BPA, $95 million NSF BPA, and seats on Alliant 3 and OASIS+ governmentwide vehicles) position ICF to continue prime contracting across civilian and selected defense customer bases without reliance on small business set-asides or subcontractor teaming relationships.
