About International Preparedness Associates Inc.

Written by GovTribe AI ·

International Preparedness Associates Inc., doing business as IPA, is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia, that delivers intelligence, training, and operational support services to military and special operations customers as a prime contractor on defense intelligence and training delivery orders. IPA operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) across 56 federal awards spanning more than fifteen years, with all work rooted in Mission Deployable Intelligence Operations Center (MDIOC) support, Special Operations Course Support for Hostile Environments (SOCS-H) curriculum development, hands-on training delivery, and intelligence systems integration for domestic and international military operations. The company's SBA certifications — both SDVOSB and VOSB, expiring November 10, 2027 — anchor most of its larger contract vehicles to set-aside vehicles, though individual delivery orders often carry no set-aside designation.

IPA's customer footprint concentrates heavily on defense special operations and Navy platforms. The top five funding entities account for 80% of awards by count but reveal stark value concentration: the U.S. Special Operations Command leads by award volume (27 awards, $19.1 million combined potential value) and the U.S. Marine Corps follows (7 awards, $18.8 million), but the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors the dollars (4 awards, $13.96 billion combined potential value), suggesting a small number of high-value indefinite delivery vehicles housing IPA's sustained work. The Department of State Bureau of African Affairs contributes 3 awards worth $500 million combined potential value. Recent concrete delivery orders include a $856 thousand firm fixed-price order from the Marine Corps for MDIOC 26-1 support (SDVOSB set-aside, completion May 2026); an $836 thousand MDIOC 25-2 delivery order (no set-aside) from the Marine Corps with completion November 2025; and a $789 thousand MDIOC SOCS-G full-time equivalent personnel order from the Marine Corps (SDVOSB set-aside, extending through August 2027).

IPA holds three named Indefinite Delivery Contracts functioning as primary work channels. The first, awarded by GSA's Federal Acquisition Service under OASIS+ Total Small Business on December 19, 2024, carries a multi-year ceiling and a five-year base period with one five-year option, covering work across Management and Advisory, Technical and Engineering, Research and Development, Intelligence Services, Environmental Services, Facilities, and Logistics functional domains. The second, awarded by GSA under OASIS+ Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business on September 30, 2024, also carries a multi-year ceiling and similar five-year base-plus-option structure with SDVOSB set-aside. The third, awarded by the Marine Corps on August 10, 2022, is a single-award contract valued at $14.7 million extending through August 9, 2027, specific to SOCS-H training support and MDIOC systems support, with performance locations in Jacksonville, Camp Lejeune, and Sneads Ferry, North Carolina. Task orders under the Marine Corps vehicle have generated approximately $5.2 million in awards across the contract period, with individual orders ranging from $622 thousand to $836 thousand, issued by both the Marine Corps and USSOCOM. Beyond these three anchors, IPA places work under Indefinite Delivery Contract H9225717D0004 (10 task orders, $5.1 million combined value), H9225722D0007 (9 task orders, $6.8 million), and H9225713D0002 (8 task orders, $1.9 million), indicating a portfolio of older Navy contracts sustaining smaller but consistent order flow. Two task orders worth $718 thousand total derive from Seaport Next Generation. Across the portfolio, work NAICS-codes primarily under All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (22 awards) and All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction (13 awards), with supporting Engineering Services and International Affairs codes reflecting IPA's training and intelligence operations delivery focus.

IPA operates no subcontractor relationships in its recent federal footprint. The Service Contract Inventory dataset captures minimal activity — 2 records across FY2022–FY2024, both as a named subcontractor on unspecified primes — and shows approximately 5.6 to 6.2 FTEs delivered across those periods, indicating IPA's federal service-contract invoicing sits below or near the $150 thousand annual reporting threshold for most fiscal years. Activity on named delivery orders and IDVs has remained flat to declining over the past five years (4 awards in 2022, declining to 1 award in 2026 year-to-date), though the embedded value in older Navy and State Department vehicles masks the true revenue scale. Only one award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months (the $789 thousand Marine Corps MDIOC SOCS-G order expiring August 2027 is already in-period but beyond the strict recompete window), signaling limited near-term recompete exposure.
