International Mortuary Shipping, LLC

International Mortuary Shipping, LLC, doing business as Sprow Mortuary Services, is a for-profit limited liability company based in Spartanburg, South Carolina that provides comprehensive mortuary services — preparation, packaging, transportation, cremation, and final disposition of human remains — to the Department of Defense, Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, and Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor across 661 federal awards totaling $135.4 million in combined potential value. The vendor competes in full-and-open procurement and does not hold SBA set-aside certifications, though some underlying IDVs carry small-business set-aside designations.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward military mortuary operations. The Department of the Army Headquarters Office of the Chief of Staff accounts for 175 awards with $75.6 million combined potential value (56% of total dollars), anchored by an $18.2 million single-award IDV (W9124D21D0028) running through September 2026 that generates monthly delivery orders of $135,000 to $362,000 for Fort Knox, Kentucky mortuary services. The Department of the Navy Bureau of Naval Personnel follows with 276 awards carrying $43.3 million combined potential value, dominated by a $19.1 million single-award IDV (N0018913DZ049) running through February 2029 that supports Navy Personnel Command mortuary operations at Union, South Carolina. Together, Army and Navy awards account for 87% of all awards and 98% of combined potential value. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons operates three major regional facilities — Tucson, Terre Haute, and Butner — with a combined $8.4 million in mortuary services awards. Recent activity shows decline: 24 awards in 2022 stepping down to 12 in 2026 year-to-date. Recompete exposure is modest at $2.3 million across four awards completing in the next twenty-four months.

International Mortuary Shipping operates five named parent IDVs. The Navy's N0018913DZ049 contract carries 193 task orders worth $2.3 million combined potential value. Two Army IDVs dominate the vendor's footprint: W9124D21D0028 (61 task orders, $14.6 million) and W9124D12D0033 (61 task orders, $8.4 million) drive the monthly Fort Knox mortuary services cycle, while W9124D17D0014 accounts for 51 task orders worth $11.5 million in historical value. The Navy's N0024415D0003 carries 77 task orders at $402 thousand combined potential value. Beyond these five vehicles, the vendor holds a $19.1 million Navy IDV and an $18.2 million Army IDV, plus smaller BPAs with the Air Force ($35,000 and $249,999.99 ceilings, awarded 2023–2026) and single-award BPAs with the VA and Air Force for regional cremation and mortuary support. The vendor's work spans domestic sites — principally Fort Knox, Kentucky (Army primary), Union, South Carolina (Navy), Tucson, Terre Haute, and Butner (Bureau of Prisons) — and includes worldwide mortuary logistics for military personnel.

The vendor holds no subcontract position in the source data; all 661 awards are prime awards. Category concentration is narrow: 660 of 661 awards fall under NAICS 812210 (Funeral Homes and Funeral Services). PSC coding splits mortuary work across 441 awards coded to Social Care of Remains/Funeral (PSC Z112), 183 to Personal Care Support Professional (PSC R401), with the remainder distributed across medical, equipment, and administrative codes. Combined obligated dollars total $54.2 million (40% of combined potential value), indicating moderate drawdown against available ceilings — typical for mortuary services where demand is variable and task orders are monthly, event-driven, or population-based.
