Innovative Federal Operations Group, Incorporated

Innovative Federal Operations Group, Incorporated, doing business as Ifog, is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and self-certified small disadvantaged business that operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering grounds maintenance, snow and ice removal, facilities support, equipment rental, and specialized logistics services to federal agencies. Headquartered in Carlsbad, California, and registered in SAM since February 2009, Ifog competes across a mix of SDVOSB set-asides, veteran-owned small business set-asides, and total small business set-asides, with SBA certifications (both SDVOSB and VOSB) expiring August 21, 2027.

Ifog's federal footprint centers on seasonal grounds maintenance and snow removal. The top NAICS categories are Landscaping Services (150 awards) and Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings (108 awards), with Industrial Gas Manufacturing (44 awards), equipment rental (28 awards), and courier services (20 awards) rounding out the portfolio. The corresponding PSC profile shows heavy concentration in Housekeeping–Snow Removal/Salt (148 awards) and Housekeeping–Landscaping/Groundskeeping (124 awards), alongside compressed and liquefied gas supply (37 awards). Recent representative prime awards include a $1.97 million SDVOSB set-aside single-award IDIQ with Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 for snow and ice removal at the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis through December 2025; a $735 thousand SDVOSB set-aside purchase order with VISN 17 for grounds maintenance and snow removal at Thomas E. Creek VA Medical Center in Amarillo, Texas through June 2028; a $863 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order with the Defense Health Agency for medical gas cylinder filling and delivery to Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton through December 2029; and a $172 thousand SDVOSB delivery order with the National Cemetery Administration for turf maintenance at Quantico National Cemetery through April 2027.

Customer concentration is heavily concentrated within the Department of Veterans Affairs ecosystem. The top five customer agencies account for 48% of recent awards and 55% of combined potential value. The National Cemetery Administration leads on both award count (96 awards, $18.7 million) and dollar share, followed closely by Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (33 awards, $17.6 million), VISN 1 (22 awards, $10.8 million), VISN 12 (14 awards, $6.3 million), and the Department of the Army Reserve Command (114 awards, but only $4.1 million, reflecting a high-volume, lower-dollar-per-award pattern). Ifog has worked across 101 distinct federal agencies, but VA-related work anchors the footprint: cemetery maintenance, snow and ice removal at VA medical centers, grounds maintenance at VA facilities, and bulk oxygen delivery to VISN sites characterize the core business.

Ifog operates across five primary indefinite-delivery vehicles, with the National Cemetery Administration Turf Maintenance IDC 36C78622D50045 ($701 thousand ceiling, nine task orders) and the VA VISN 10 Snow and Ice Removal IDIQ ($1.65 million ceiling, multiple annual delivery orders) anchoring recurring revenue. Additional IDIQs include a $361 thousand NCA grounds maintenance vehicle at Staunton National Cemetery (SDVOSB set-aside), a $221 thousand NCA sod installation contract nationwide (SDVOSB set-aside, issued June 2026), and a $1.99 million VISN 10 snow and ice removal contract (SDVOSB set-aside, awarded December 2024). The company also holds a $140 thousand blanket purchase agreement (HDEC0512A0016, 17 task orders) and an Indefinite Delivery Contract 36C78618D0001 ($2.6 million combined potential value, 16 task orders) for Army Reserve Command ice melt, sand, and snow removal services.

Activity has trended downward. Ifog placed 41 awards in 2022, declining to 12 in 2026 year-to-date (through October 15). The combined potential value across the entire 594-award portfolio is $103.9 million, with $63.5 million obligated (61% of potential). Sixteen awards with completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $3.3 million and represent near-term recompete exposure, including snow removal contracts with VISN 10 and 12, sod installation work, and grounds maintenance at national cemeteries.

SCI-reported federal service-contract invoicing totaled $2.2 million across FY2022–FY2025, concentrated in FY2023 ($1.3 million, 14.6 FTEs). The trajectory shows elevated FY2023 activity (likely a spike in ground maintenance or snow removal season labor) declining to $358 thousand and 1.3 FTEs in FY2025. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts ranged from $40/hr (10th percentile) to $166/hr (90th percentile), with a median of $43/hr, reflecting a mix of lower-wage grounds maintenance labor and higher-rate specialized services. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Ifog self-performed 100% of reported hours with zero subcontractor engagement, a consistent pattern across all four fiscal years. Ifog operates as a self-performing prime contractor, building its own delivery teams rather than relying on subs, and has taken no subcontractor awards in the source data.
