Ivl, Institut FÜR Vegetationskunde UND Landschaftsökologie H. Schott UND Partner Landschaftsökologen

IVL, Institut FÜR Vegetationskunde UND Landschaftsökologie H. Schott UND Partner Landschaftsökologen, a German partnership headquartered in Hemhofen, Germany, operates as a prime contractor (98% of its 89 federal awards) delivering environmental consulting, vegetation science, landscape ecology, and natural resources management services to the U.S. Army in Europe, with no SBA set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

IVL's capability portfolio centers on threatened and endangered species (TES) habitat management, invasive species control and documentation, natural resources program implementation, and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) environmental compliance support at U.S. Army installations. Representative prime work includes a $323,846 firm-fixed-price delivery order awarded June 23, 2025 for securing and upgrading TES habitats at Grafenwoehr Training Area; a $229,991 NEPA support and labor services BPA call order awarded September 22, 2023 under a $999,999.99 single-award blanket purchase agreement; and a $148,919 delivery order awarded May 5, 2025 for maintaining compensation and eco-account areas at Grafenwoehr Training Area. The vendor also holds a $1,191,835 single-award indefinite delivery contract awarded April 15, 2023 for invasive species management plan documentation, removal of invasive plant species including giant hogweed and Japanese knotweed, habitat management, and natural resources stewardship across Army installations in Germany through April 14, 2026.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Europe Region accounts for 86 of 89 awards and $11.2 million of the $11.4 million combined potential value across IVL's entire federal footprint (100% coverage). A single award to the Department of the Army European Command ($158,000) and two awards to Army regional contracting offices (RCO Bavaria 409th CSB, RCO Stuttgart 409th CSB) constitute the remainder. Activity has declined from 10 awards in 2023 to 5 in 2024, 5 in 2025, and 2 in 2026 year-to-date, though the most recent award arrived April 15, 2026.

IVL places work under five active indefinite delivery contracts with IMCOM Europe Region: Indefinite Delivery Contract W91WFU19D0001 (14 task orders, $856,000 combined potential value); Indefinite Delivery Contract W912PE09D7001 (13 task orders, $425,000); Indefinite Delivery Contract W912PB18D3026 (10 task orders, $586,000); Indefinite Delivery Contract W912PB23D3004 (9 task orders, $974,000); and Indefinite Delivery Contract W91WFU16D0001 (6 task orders, $295,000). These vehicles anchor nearly all task-order issuance. Awards have ultimate completion dates spanning through September 2026, with three awards totaling $411,000 in combined potential value completing within the next twenty-four months and therefore exposed to recompete.

IVL subcontracts minimally (2% of awards): the source identifies one sub-award under AECOM International Inc. for wildlife hazards and ecological survey work at U.S. Army Garrison Ansbach, Germany, dated February 14, 2023. Work is performed entirely in Germany, supporting Army installation environmental compliance, stewardship, and natural resources management across the U.S. European footprint. IVL registered in SAM.gov in 2007 and has received over 30 prime contracts since 2019, reflecting a long-standing sole-source relationship with IMCOM Europe Region across all procurement vehicles.
