About the company
International Filter Manufacturing Corp (doing business as IFM), a certified HUBZone, woman-owned, minority-owned small business based in Litchfield, Illinois, manufactures precision-engineered filtration components for military logistics as a prime contractor, operating exclusively on task orders and indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency. The company is a subsidiary of K Watson Group LLC, an 8(a)-certified, economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business.
IFM's federal work concentrates on filter element and air intake filter manufacturing for military vehicle and aircraft maintenance. The company holds two single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime: a $1,998,932.76 IDC valid through November 16, 2025, and a $250,000 IDC awarded December 23, 2024 and extending through December 23, 2025. Recent task orders under these vehicles include a $175,896 total small business set-aside delivery order in October 2025 for FILTER ELEMENT,INTA components with January 31, 2026 completion, a $87,948 firm fixed-price delivery order from September 2024, and a $65,537.65 delivery order from November 2023. All work is performed at IFM's Litchfield facility with delivery to Department of Defense depots domestically and overseas.
Customer concentration is extreme and centered on defense logistics. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 109 awards carrying $8.4 million in combined potential value, representing approximately 52% of the $16.9 million portfolio ceiling across 211 total prime awards. The Department of the Navy Installations Command holds the second position at 8 awards valued at $5.8 million (34% of the portfolio). The source records 75 additional DLA awards valued at $346 thousand; together, DLA entities represent 95% of award count and approximately 86% of combined potential value. Six federal agencies appear in the footprint; activity outside DLA and Navy is minimal.
The vendor's award trajectory shows contraction. IFM received 22 awards per year in both 2021 and 2022, declined to 9 awards in 2023, dropped to 4 in 2024, and received 5 in 2025 through November. The source spans from August 1989 to November 2025, indicating a long operating history, though recent velocity is substantially lower than the 2021–2022 baseline. Combined potential value sits at $16.9 million against $25.2 million in actual obligations (149% ratio), suggesting awards are often exercised beyond their ceiling or the source captures invoiced history exceeding remaining option value.
IFM's capability framing is narrow and concrete: manufacture of engine air and oil filters, strainers, and cleaners (159 of 211 awards under PSC code covering nonaircraft filters). The NAICS breakdown reflects this focus — 77 awards fall under Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing and 47 under All Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing. Offerings include filter elements designated by National Stock Number for use in U.S. military equipment. The company competes under small business set-asides (two IDCs carry total small business designations) and full-and-open competition (many task orders carry no set-aside designation). First Article Testing and higher-level quality standards are specified in the IDC terms, indicating qualification-gated supply relationships.
IFM operates as a 100% prime vendor footprint with no recorded subcontract work. The company does not sit on government-wide vehicles (GWACs or schedules); all work flows through DLA-specific indefinite delivery contracts. The top parent vehicles listed in the portfolio (SPE7LX19D0047, SP075099D7423, and others) are DLA regional or commodity-specific IDCs. The recompete cliff is material: the November 16, 2025 IDC ceiling of $1,998,932.76 reaches completion in that window, requiring recompete or renewal to sustain the primary revenue stream. The December 2024 IDC award of $250,000 extends only through December 23, 2025, creating a potential coverage gap if neither vehicle is renewed or superseded.
