Ready. Secure. Lean. — The Standard for Mission-Critical Facilities
Ready, Secure, Lean represents the three pillars facility and procurement leaders rely on to deliver continuity, compliance, and cost control in secure environments.
What it means for mission-critical facilities
- READY: Facility assets are fully functional and their life-cycle predictable with trained personnel extending their life.
- SECURE: Operations are within the DoD guidelines and administered by DCSA—proud member of the Defense Industrial Base supporting facilities and manufacturing plants that support Warfighters.
- LEAN: Eliminating service variation, process waste, and redundancy through disciplined, measurable processes.
Self-Performed. Audit-Proof. Scalable
Unlike fully vendor managed competitors lacking clearances and sophisticated process control, we self-perform essential services with a security-cleared workforce and audit-ready SOPs, while vendor-managing non-essential or niche services.
• Cleared Workforce — Immediate access to secure spaces, no escort delays
• Audit-Ready SOPs — Standardized, processes proven under oversight
• Smart Vendor Management — Embedded under our cleared supervision
• Zero Compromise — Compliance and security standards never slip
• Heritage + Scale — Founded in 1955, backed by GDI/Ainsworth’s 2.7B platform

Supporting Legacy FM
We support our legacy facility management providers, who have direct relationships with defense primes providing essential clearances, process discipline and scale to work in multi-location secured spaces. The DCSA security-review trends indicate that adding one subcontract layer results in more than triple the number of insider-threat findings. IH Services solves this problem by merging a secure self-performing workforce with deep enterprise-level soft and technical facility service capabilities.
