Ideal Innovations Incorporated

Ideal Innovations Incorporated, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) delivering engineering, biometrics, forensics, and technical services to Department of Defense and Department of Justice customers under full-and-open and SDVOSB-set-aside vehicles. The company is structured as a Subchapter S corporation and holds active SBA certifications as both a Veteran-Owned Small Business and a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, with certifications expiring July 3, 2028.

Ideal Innovations' customer footprint is heavily weighted toward Army and Navy commands. The top five customers by potential value account for 80% of combined potential across all awards, led by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground ($37.44 billion across 7 awards), the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command ($10 billion across 4 awards), and the Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division ($8.65 billion across 10 awards). By award count, the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command (25 awards, $154.2 million), the Army Criminal Investigation Command (16 awards, $123.5 million), and the Army Training and Doctrine Command (15 awards, $18.3 million) lead; the variance between volume and dollar rankings reflects the presence of several large IDIQs with substantial ceilings held on behalf of Army Materiel Command and Navy, alongside smaller task orders placed by operational commands.

Ideal Innovations holds two major federal vehicles. An OASIS+ Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract awarded by GSA's Federal Acquisition Service in September 2024 carries a multi-billion-dollar ceiling extending through September 2029 and positions the vendor to deliver professional services across federal agencies nationwide. A single-award $8.6 billion Blanket Purchase Agreement held with the Department of Justice FBI Headquarters Division, effective through June 2032, covers information technology, security, and professional services; two recent BPA calls under this vehicle total $34.5 million — a $24.9 million firm fixed-price call for SCOR 22-ISBOS biometrics and forensics services (Ultimate completion December 16, 2030) and a $9.56 million call for SCOR 46 Emergency Response Team support services at the FBI Academy (Ultimate completion March 25, 2031). Beyond these vehicles, Ideal Innovations places task orders under five agency IDIQs, including the Army's Responsive Strategic Sourcing for Services (RS3) contract, which awarded a $103.7 million delivery order in February 2022 for BAT-A and Next Generation Biometric Collection Capability sustainment and fielding support, running through February 2027.

Capability concentration aligns with the Army and Navy technical portfolio. The top five NAICS categories across recent awards are Engineering Services (42 awards), Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (26 awards), Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (15 awards), Testing Laboratories and Services (14 awards), and Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting Services (12 awards). PSC coding emphasizes Support — Professional (Engineering/Technical) (28 awards) and Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Communication, Detection, and Coherent Radiation Equipment (25 awards). Representative work includes a $2.7 million delivery order from the Army Materiel Command for spectrum relocation engineering studies and economic analysis under the Advanced Expeditionary Warfare Development IDIQ (completed August 2023), and a $773 thousand language services definitive contract with the FBI (completed September 2022).

Service Contract Inventory data show SCI-reportable prime invoicing of $74.1 million across FY2022–FY2024: $19.6 million (FY2022), $27.8 million (FY2023), and $26.7 million (FY2024), with FTE deployment across five to seven prime SCI-reportable contracts ranging from 87 to 123 FTEs annually. Government-paid hourly rates on federal service contracts run a median of $82.04 per hour, with senior technical roles pricing through $157.56 per hour and entry-level support at $68.05 per hour; GSA Schedule labor rates span $42.70 to $276.77 across 21 categories, covering operators, analysts, engineers, and senior consultants from high-school through bachelor's-degree backgrounds, with no security-cleared positions offered. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors absorb approximately 19% of contractor hours on average, with 20 named subcontractors reported; Ideal Innovations also subcontracts to Dhpc Technologies (precision targeting research and prototyping), Link Solutions (IT support services), and Peraton (tactical software maintenance). Two awards (combined potential value $123.1 million) face recompete in the next twenty-four months. Overall activity over the past five years shows low award frequency (3–4 awards annually in 2021–2022, uptick to 4 in 2024, then 3 in 2025 and 1 in early 2026), with the vendor's footprint anchored by large-ceiling IDIQs and single-award BPAs rather than task-order volume.
