Information Management Services, Inc.

Information Management Services, Inc., doing business as IMS, is a Maryland-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation that delivers biomedical data management, analytics, and IT infrastructure services to federal health research agencies as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards). Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Calverton, Maryland, IMS competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations across a portfolio of 278 prime and sub awards with combined potential value of $23.72 billion, though only $804.5 million has been obligated to date.

IMS's customer base is heavily concentrated in the Department of Health and Human Services ecosystem. The National Cancer Institute alone accounts for 106 awards with $2.95 billion in combined potential value, representing the dominant funding relationship. The top five HHS components by award count (NCI, HHS/NIH broadly, NHLBI, NIEHS, and NIDDK) cover 75% of awards, though in potential-value terms the concentration is tighter: NCI, NICHD, NHLBI, CDC Pittsburgh, and NIMHD account for approximately 13% of the combined potential value when measured against the full 278-award portfolio. Representative recent prime work includes an $84.4 million biomedical computing support services delivery order from NCI under the NITAAC CIO-SP3 Small Business IDIQ (June 2025), a $27.3 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from NCI for data modeling, analytics, and software development (March 2025), a $1.956 million firm fixed-price delivery order from NIMHD for HDPULSE data portal and interventions IT support (September 2025), and a $1.624 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from NHLBI for BioLINCC Program maintenance and enhancement (November 2025).

IMS holds several major indefinite delivery vehicles that anchor its federal footprint. The National Cancer Institute awarded a single-award IDC with $149.9 million potential value for non-R&D technical support and data management services across NCI studies and projects (August 2021, ultimate completion July 2026), from which ten task orders ranging from $5,001 to $36.3 million have been awarded. Additional vehicles include the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (30 task orders, $170.1 million combined potential value), several NIH BPAs and IDCs collectively representing $181+ million in combined task-order value, and participation in the CIO-SP3 Small Business GWAC (12 task orders, $126.7 million combined potential value). IMS's service delivery centers on data infrastructure maintenance, biospecimen inventory systems (BSI), statistical programming, bioinformatics and advanced analytics, clinical data center operations, and health disparities research data portal support.

Activity has declined year over year from 14 awards in 2022 to 5 in 2024 before rebounding slightly to 9 in 2025, with only 2 awards recorded in 2026 (as of February 12, 2026). Twelve awards (combined potential value $73.2 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure in that window. On the subcontractor side, IMS performs niche biospecimen management and data analytics work under primes including Sarstedt, Inc., Panamerica Computers, Inc., IT1 Source LLC, The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, and Precision For Medicine, Inc., though sub-awards represent only 3% of the portfolio and sub-engagement across SCI-reportable prime contracts averages zero percent of contractor hours—IMS self-performs substantially all of its delivery obligations.

Service Contract Inventory reporting captures $88.7 million in invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2024 on 75 SCI-reportable records (70 prime, 5 sub). Invoicing declined from $37.9 million in FY2022 to $23.1 million in FY2024 as FTE workforce remained stable at 161–166 FTEs across the three-year span. On federal services contracts above the $150,000 SCI threshold, government-paid hourly rates derived from invoiced labor ranged from $52.50/hr at the tenth percentile to $139.01/hr at the ninetieth percentile, with a median of $85.98/hr. GSA Schedule labor offerings span seventeen categories from administrative associate roles ($64.97/hr, bachelor's, 2 years experience) through senior program manager roles ($244.15/hr, bachelor's, 10 years experience), with a concentration in programmer, analyst, and administrative support functions. IMS offers security-cleared positions within the GSA Schedule portfolio, particularly network administrator and information technology specialist roles. The vendor maintains no named subsidiaries or parent-company relationships in the source; all work is self-performed or subcontracted to external primes and subs rather than delivered through internal teaming structures.

IMS specializes in customized applications development, LAN support, UNIX workstation support, statistical programming and generalized computing services. Our primary field of support is biomedical research.
