The company provides integrated facilities management, environmental safety and health, construction, hazard abatement, specialized cleaning, water quality sampling, and master planning services to more than 20 U.S. federal agencies (DOE, DOS, VA, USACE, NAVFAC, NARA, HUD, GSA, and others), with secondary commercial customers in restaurants, gun ranges, municipalities, and public housing authorities. IEI holds multiple GSA contract vehicles including MAS Schedule GS-21F-096AA (2013-2033), GSA BMO Zones 1 & 2, and OASIS, and has assembled three joint venture structures (SDVOSB with VCG, 8(a) with Agile Facility Solutions, and IEI-SS&A for the USACE MFSS IIIB MATOC) to access federal set-aside procurement categories.

The company operates from offices in Lincoln, Columbia, Columbus, Kansas City, and Austin, with work performed across 44 states and 69 countries, and a workforce of approximately 200 employees.

IEI generates revenue through managed-services contracts and professional-services engagements under prime and subcontract federal awards, supplemented by direct commercial sales of specialized cleaning services. The company has no publicly disclosed pricing, no external private equity or venture capital ownership, and relies on its socio-economic certifications and past-performance record as primary competitive moats. Recent notable awards include a $270M-capacity MFSS IIIB MATOC for military medical facilities support (Feb 2025) and a NARA emergency records recovery contract (Aug 2024).
