Contract Experience:  IPA got its start by leveraging professional worldwide relationships that were developed during US Government service. Our initial contracts were with the Royal Court of the Kingdom of Jordan in 2007, the Iraqi government in 2008, and the Afghan Ministry of Interior in 2009, and directly supported US Government foreign policy interests, DoD, and CIA programs. IPA has managed teams as a prime or subcontracted successfully in all its business endeavors and has grown to be a trusted partner in a broad range of work including highly specialized niche work. IPA is proficient in worldwide support to US government, US commercial, foreign government and foreign commercial requirements. Current and past partners include:

Small Business Agility: IPA’s impact around the world has been remarkable considering its size. We attribute our business success to leadership within the company, our ability to develop strategic partnerships, and the high quality of service that we deliver on every effort. Our leadership and their uncompromising standards allow IPA to be efficient and lean. As a small business, we move quickly without layers of decision making to slow the process. We pass the cost benefit of our small business status onto our customers under a best value model.
