Ilabs Inc.

Ilabs Inc., an SBA 8(a) certified, women-owned small business based in Overland Park, Kansas, operates as a prime contractor providing software development, cloud migration, data analytics, IT infrastructure modernization, and digital transformation services to federal civilian agencies, with recent expansion into Department of Defense multi-domain defense procurement through a $151 billion IDIQ vehicle awarded in December 2025.

The company is a Subchapter S corporation, minority-owned (Subcontinent Asian American), and holds concurrent 8(a) Program Participant certification (expiring November 28, 2029) and Women-Owned Small Business designation. All 29 recent awards in the source are prime contracts or IDVs; Ilabs does not appear in the sub-award portfolio. The company competes across both 8(a) set-aside and full-and-open vehicles, with 8(a) Sole Source and Competitive 8(a) designations characterizing much of its USDA work while also holding positions on unrestricted vehicles at GSA and the Department of Labor.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to USDA components and to GSA-hosted vehicle positions. The Department of Agriculture Under Secretary for Farm Production and Conservation accounts for 9 awards worth $10 million in combined potential value, USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service for 4 awards worth $7.1 million, and GSA Federal Acquisition Service for 4 awards worth $50 billion (driven by two massive OASIS+ IDIQs and the newly awarded SHIELD contract). The two rankings diverge sharply: GSA dominates potential value through vehicle ceilings, while USDA dominates award count and active task-order volume. The Department of Labor and Department of Transportation round out the active customer set at $9.4 million and $1 billion respectively. Twelve distinct federal agencies are represented across the portfolio.

Ilabs holds positions on multiple high-value indefinite-delivery vehicles. The company was awarded an OASIS+ Women-Owned Small Business IDIQ on June 12, 2025, with a $999,999,999,999 ceiling through June 11, 2030; an OASIS+ 8(a) IDIQ on November 6, 2024, with the same placeholder ceiling through November 5, 2029; and the newly awarded Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ from the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025, with a $151 billion ceiling running through December 28, 2035. Under the $50 billion 8(a) STARS III GWAC (GSA), Ilabs has issued 6 task orders worth $9.8 million in combined potential value, placing work for the Office of the Chief Information Officer (VGRS systems, $4.4 million), USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (emergency management response system support), USDA Dairy Program (Salesforce application operations and maintenance, $1.6 million), and an unnamed customer (VGRS DME operations and maintenance support). A single-award $4.5 million USDA IDIQ for Microsoft Office 365 application development and maintenance carries 3 delivery orders worth $1.5 million combined. The $1 billion FAA eFAST Blanket Purchase Agreement, awarded March 17, 2022, expired September 30, 2024. Ilabs also sits on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule with 3 orders worth $399 thousand.

Representative prime work includes a $3.2 million 8(a) Sole Source definitive contract with USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service for the Animal Disease Traceability Information System (ADTIS) Animal Identification Management System (AIMS), emphasizing software delivery, project management, IT security, data analytics, cloud, and DevSecOps (awarded September 30, 2022, completed April 2, 2024); a $2.2 million 8(a) Sole Source definitive contract with APHIS for ADTIS Premise/AIMS data-pipeline mapping to modernized AIMS tables (awarded June 12, 2023, ultimate completion August 13, 2026); a $904,083.64 8(a) Sole Source definitive contract with USDA Farm Production and Conservation for IT Business Operations Tool (ITBOT) application development (awarded March 3, 2025, completion March 2, 2030); and a $4.99 million labor-hour definitive contract (no set-aside) with the Department of Labor for Veterans Grantee Reporting System services supporting veteran employment and training (awarded October 31, 2022, completion September 30, 2025). Ilabs' work also spans portal enhancements, emergency management systems, regional office assessment process operations and maintenance, and Microsoft Office 365 application lifecycle management across USDA components.

Activity accelerated from 2021 to 2022 (2 to 10 awards), moderated in 2023–2024 (5 and 4 awards respectively), and jumped to 7 awards in 2025, driven largely by the three major IDIQs awarded in the final quarter of 2025. Four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $9 million, exposing the vendor to modest recompete activity in that window; the real exposure sits in the task-order stream under the STARS III and Microsoft O365 IDIQs. The combined potential value across all awards ($51.03 billion) is dominated by the two OASIS+ placeholder ceilings ($999,999,999,999 each) and the SHIELD IDIQ ($151 billion), which distort the portfolio's true working-dollar picture; the operational base of small-dollar, short-cycle USDA and DOL contracts is considerably tighter.

Service Contract Inventory data show sparse SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $35 thousand in FY2022, with zero reported invoicing in FY2023 and FY2024, indicating most Ilabs work is either priced on firm-fixed or labor-hours bases with periodic invoicing not fully captured in SCI reporting windows, or is below the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold. FTE trajectory shows 1.8 FTEs in FY2022, zero FTEs in FY2023, and 4.9 FTEs in FY2024, suggesting delivery ramped in the most recent fiscal year. The single government-paid hourly rate observed in SCI records was $130.35/hr across all percentiles. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for an average of 4% of total contractor hours, with only one named subcontractor reported; Ilabs operates predominantly as an in-house delivery organization rather than a sub-leveraging vehicle.

The December 2025 SHIELD award represents strategic expansion into Department of Defense multi-domain defense procurement (research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity modernization against ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile threats) with performance at Huntsville, Alabama. This award marks a material shift in customer and mission scope from the vendor's established civilian IT modernization footprint and carries classification and facility-clearance requirements absent from the USDA and DOL work characterizing prior years. The vendor's holding of both 8(a) and WOSB designations simultaneously, combined with positions on two OASIS+ vehicles expiring in 2029–2030 and the long-tail SHIELD contract through 2035, positions the company for sustained federal IT services delivery across multiple customer agencies and set-aside categories.
