Mainstream IP Solutions, Inc.

Mainstream IP Solutions, Inc., a minority-owned, SBA 8(a)-certified small disadvantaged business based in Keystone, Florida, provides telecommunications infrastructure installation, maintenance, and support services to defense and civilian federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor. The company operates without subcontractor involvement and competes predominantly under 8(a) sole-source and total-small-business set-asides across its federal footprint.

Mainstream IP Solutions delivers concrete telecommunications and network infrastructure work: fiber optic cable installation and splicing, base telephone system operations and maintenance, Voice over IP (VoIP) system upgrades, premise wiring and cabling, dispatch system implementation, and associated equipment installation at military installations and federal facilities. Representative prime work includes a $468,838.78 delivery order from Air Force Special Operations Command (January 2026) for base telecommunications system operations and maintenance at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico; a $1,368,918.76 definitive contract from Air Force Materiel Command (April 2024) for telecommunications infrastructure work across multiple Clovis Air Force Base requirements; a $2,843,868 purchase order from Naval Computer and Telecommunications (May 2025) for telecommunications services in Pensacola, Florida running through December 2030; and a $23.8 million delivery order modification from the Small Business Administration (December 2022) extending COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan Service Center telecom licenses through March 2026.

Mainstream IP Solutions holds a seat on the 8(a) STARS III Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (referenced in multiple award summaries as a $50 billion vehicle), though that position generates minimal direct ordering activity in the source data. The company's primary vehicle footprint centers on four single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts: a $5.26 million total-small-business IDC with Air Combat Command (August 2023, through January 2029) for base telecommunications systems at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina; a $2.9 million 8(a) sole-source IDC with Air Force Special Operations Command (April 2023, through December 2026) for Cannon Air Force Base telecommunications maintenance; a $777,775.74 8(a) sole-source IDC with Air Mobility Command (December 2022, through January 2024, now expired); and a $2 million Federal Supply Schedule contract with GSA Federal Acquisition Service (August 2022, through August 2027) offering seven labor categories spanning IT Infrastructure Technician through Subject Matter Expert at hourly rates from $59.08 to $193.37, with no security-cleared positions offered. The GSA Schedule covers nationwide on-site and remote work.

Customer concentration is heavily defense-skewed. The top five customer agencies by award count (covering 53% of all awards) are Air Mobility Command (27 awards, $12.8 million potential value), Air Combat Command (21 awards, $7.7 million), Air Force Special Operations Command (15 awards, $5.2 million), Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (13 awards, $1 million), and Air Force Materiel Command (12 awards, $5.6 million). By potential value, the rankings shift dramatically: GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates with $50 billion combined potential value across two awards (the 8(a) STARS III seat and the GSA MAS contract), followed by Air Mobility Command, Naval Computer and Telecommunications, Air Combat Command, and Air Education and Training Command. The vast majority of Mainstream IP Solutions' award volume reflects Air Force and Navy base support, with occasional work for the Marine Corps, Defense Health Agency, Pacific Air Forces, and Veterans Affairs.

Activity has been consistent year over year — 17 awards in 2022, 17 in 2023, 24 in 2024, declining slightly to 16 in 2025 and 13 through July 2026. The recompete cliff shows eight awards with completion dates in the next twenty-four months carrying combined potential value of $5.8 million, representing modest near-term recompete exposure. Across the top parent vehicles, the Air Force Materiel Command contract FA485523D0001 has generated 24 task orders ($3.7 million), the Air Mobility Command vehicle FA462117D0009 shows 21 task orders ($5.7 million), and the Air Combat Command IDC FA480923D0006 carries 18 task orders ($2.1 million).

SCI-reported invoicing across service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $13.1 million across FY2023–FY2025 (FY2023: $3.1 million; FY2024: $2.6 million; FY2025: $7.5 million), with workforce averaging fewer than one FTE per fiscal year in SCI-reportable contracts. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $13,031 per hour, with the 10th percentile at $3,561 per hour and the 90th percentile at $211,877 per hour, reflecting both labor-hour task orders and time-and-materials contracts at highly variable billing rates. Mainstream IP Solutions performs all work in-house; the SCI dataset shows zero sub-hours share across prime contracts.

Mainstream IP Solutions competes almost exclusively under 8(a) set-asides (sole-source and competitive) and total-small-business designations. Full-and-open competition appears only on specific task orders within existing 8(a) IDCs, reflecting the company's strategic posture as an 8(a) specialist focused on leveraging its certification status and small disadvantaged business standing to secure federal telecommunications infrastructure work at military installations.
