Independent Strategic Management Solutions Inc.

Independent Strategic Management Solutions Inc., doing business as Ismsolutions, is an SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business and 8(a) program participant (certification expires June 9, 2026) headquartered in Richland, Washington, that provides environmental remediation, nuclear safety, waste management, and technical consulting services to the Department of Energy as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards). Ismsolutions operates primarily under NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services) and 541330 (Engineering Services), delivering facility representative support, tank waste operations, performance improvement advisory work, nuclear safety document review, integrated safety management program support, and regulatory compliance services at the Hanford Site and Oak Ridge.

Ismsolutions' federal footprint is heavily concentrated within DOE. The Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management funds 71 awards (83% of the award count) representing $232.3 million in combined potential value, with a stark secondary concentration: the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors 2 awards valued at $5.28 billion in combined potential value — an outsized ceiling driven by a single large delivery order. The top five customers by count account for 98% of awards; by dollar potential, the Navy's two awards represent 95% of all combined potential value, while DOE EM's 71 awards represent 4%. This divergence signals that while Ismsolutions' operational relationship is almost entirely with DOE EM at Hanford, the firm carries significant ceiling exposure on a much smaller number of Navy awards.

Ismsolutions holds three primary parent vehicles. The cornerstone is a $54.2 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with DOE's Office of Environmental Management (BPA 89303923AEM000019, awarded September 13, 2023, through September 12, 2028) that anchors 43 task orders valued at $179 million combined potential value, nearly all placed under time-and-materials pricing for facility representative support, tank waste support, nuclear safety document review, fire operations training and oversight, performance improvement advisory services, and environmental regulatory support at Hanford. Ismsolutions also holds a General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract (43 task orders, $179 million combined potential value) and a Hanford Site Technical Support Services indefinite-delivery vehicle (39 task orders, $14.3 million combined potential value). Two GSA government-wide IDIQ awards were issued in FY2025: an OASIS+ 8(a) Competitive contract (August 20, 2025, through August 19, 2030) and an OASIS+ Women-Owned Small Business contract (June 12, 2025, through June 11, 2030), both carrying placeholder ceilings with no recent task-order activity. A $74.8 million delivery order from DOE's Office of Environmental Management for technical, management, and administrative services at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, issued April 24, 2025, represents the largest single award outside the Navy ceiling and remains in early-stage mobilization (FY2025 invoicing: $23 thousand across 0.1 FTEs).

Activity has been volatile. Awards declined from 8 in 2022 to 2 in 2023, rebounded to 13 in 2024, then dropped to 5 in 2025 and 5 in 2026 year-to-date. Seventeen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $21.5 million, representing material recompete exposure as multiple facility representative support, tank waste support, and nuclear safety contracts near their option-period endpoints through 2027. Ismsolutions operates as a prime in nearly all cases; a single sub-award, placed February 28, 2026, subcontracts to Hanford Tank Waste Operations & Closure, LLC for integrated tank disposition contract work.

Service Contract Inventory data covering federal contracts above the $150,000 threshold shows SCI-reported invoiced revenue of $14.9 million across FY2023–FY2025, with prime records only: $6.4 million in FY2023 (11.0 FTEs), $3.5 million in FY2024 (12.0 FTEs), and $5 million in FY2025 (16.3 FTEs). Government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts median around $155.63/hr, with senior labor pricing reaching $377.82/hr at the 90th percentile and junior roles starting at $125.34/hr. The vendor self-performs all reported labor; across prime SCI records, subcontractors account for 0% of total contractor hours. Ismsolutions' GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 35 categories (education typically bachelor's degree, no security clearances required in the published roster) across analyst, technician, and consultant levels, though published rate data in the source carries no dollar values.

The vendor's capability footprint is narrowly specialized: environmental remediation, nuclear safety, waste treatment operations support, regulatory compliance, integrated safety management, and facility operations consulting at DOE's Hanford Site and, most recently, Oak Ridge. Recent representative awards include a $954,263 BPA call for tank waste support services (August 3, 2026), a $1,469,464 BPA call for nuclear safety document review (May 7, 2025, through May 6, 2028), a $797,575 BPA call for performance improvement advisory support (January 26, 2026, through January 25, 2029), and a $74.8 million delivery order for technical and management services at Oak Ridge (April 24, 2025). All underlying BPA calls operate on time-and-materials pricing without set-aside restrictions at the task-order level; 8(a) Sole Source and Competitive 8(a) designations appear on historical delivery orders now closed out or approaching completion. Ismsolutions competes predominantly under 8(a) and WOSB set-aside vehicles rather than full-and-open.
