Innovative Federal Operations Group, Incorporated

Innovative Federal Operations Group, Incorporated, doing business as Ifog, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) prime contractor headquartered in Carlsbad, California, that delivers grounds maintenance, snow and ice removal, facilities support, equipment rental, and specialized logistics services to the federal government across 101 distinct customer agencies. Ifog competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides and total small business set-asides, though a material portion of its recent awards carry no set-aside designation, indicating competitive positioning in full-and-open procurement as well. The company is also certified as a veteran-owned small business; both SDVOSB and VOSB certifications expire August 21, 2027.

Ifog's capability footprint centers on labor-intensive, recurring operational support: grounds maintenance and landscaping (landscaping services NAICS; 147 awards), snow and ice removal (housekeeping—snow removal/salt PSC; 152 awards), turf maintenance and sod installation at national cemeteries, courier and logistics services, document destruction, medical gas delivery and cylinder filling, portable storage container and equipment rental, and fire mitigation. Representative work includes a $735,965 grounds maintenance and snow removal contract with Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 for Thomas E. Creek VA Medical Center in Amarillo, Texas (June 2023); a $1.16 million dry ice delivery contract with the Army Aviation and Missile Command for Corpus Christi Army Depot extending through December 2026; a $701,280 turf maintenance IDIQ with the National Cemetery Administration for Quantico National Cemetery through April 2027; and a $1,986,141 snow and ice removal IDIQ with Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 for the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis through December 2025, with two active delivery orders totaling $838,442. Ifog also holds a $361,166 grounds maintenance IDIQ with NCA for Staunton National Cemetery through March 2027 and a $221,200 sod installation IDIQ with NCA through March 2029.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of Veterans Affairs. The National Cemetery Administration (94 awards, $18.6 million combined potential value), Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (32 awards, $17.2 million), and Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 (22 awards, $10.8 million) together account for 148 awards and 55% of combined potential value. The Army Reserve Command, despite volume leadership (117 awards), carries only $4.3 million combined potential value, reflecting smaller per-award contract sizes. These five customers represent 48% of all awards by count. Ifog has worked with the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of the Interior, Department of Agriculture, Federal Aviation Administration, Defense Health Agency, Naval Sea Systems Command, and other civilian and military agencies, but VA accounts for the dominant share of dollars and operational footprint.

Ifog holds no government-wide acquisition contracts or agency-wide GWACs in the traditional sense. Work flows through task orders against single-award IDIQs and blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) held directly with customer organizations. The top parent vehicles are a blanket purchase agreement HDEC0512A0016 (17 task orders, $140 thousand), indefinite delivery contract 36C78618D0001 (16 task orders, $2.6 million), and four additional NCA-specific turf maintenance and grounds maintenance IDIQs. The absence of multi-agency vehicles limits Ifog's reach for cross-agency teaming or prime-contractor scaling but reflects a tight, repeat-customer relationship model focused on VA and cemetery operations.

Activity has declined year over year. Awards ran 41 in 2022, 28 in 2023, 24 in 2024, 19 in 2025, and 7 in the first six months of 2026. This trajectory suggests either a narrowing customer base, smaller per-award values, or both. Only 15 awards (combined potential value $3 million) complete in the next twenty-four months, indicating modest near-term recompete cliff exposure relative to the overall portfolio.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue of $1.9 million across fiscal years 2022–2024 represents a lower-visibility subset of Ifog's federal services activity and is not indicative of total company revenue. FY2023 saw the highest SCI-reported invoicing ($1.3 million across 14.6 contract-level FTEs); FY2024 dropped to $433 thousand across 1.5 contract-level FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ranged from $39.99 to $166.08 per hour, with a median of $42.79 per hour, consistent with lower-skilled and semi-skilled labor categories in grounds maintenance, snow removal, and facility support. Ifog reported zero subcontractor hours across its prime SCI records, indicating the vendor builds its own delivery teams on service-reportable work rather than relying on subcontractor labor.

Ifog operates as a prime contractor exclusively; all 594 awards in the portfolio are prime awards with zero identified sub-award positions. This posture reflects a direct-delivery, labor-staffing model rather than a prime-integrator or subcontracting strategy. The vendor does not appear as a named subcontractor in the source data. Across the award portfolio, category concentration is tight: landscaping services (147 awards, NAICS 561730) and other services to buildings and dwellings (113 awards, NAICS 561720) together represent 44% of volume. Industrial gas manufacturing (43 awards) and equipment rental (28 awards) round out the secondary categories. This NAICS concentration, combined with PSC-level dominance in housekeeping (snow removal, 152 awards; landscaping, 122 awards), reflects a specialized, recurring-operations footprint rather than a diversified federal contractor profile. Ifog's five-year average award value (from combined potential value and award count) runs approximately $174 thousand, consistent with task orders and purchase orders for discrete seasonal services, equipment deliveries, and maintenance cycles rather than large integrator contracts.
