International Support Group LLC, a Miramar-based government contractor better known as ISG, is trying to keep its federal work alive while working through more than $5 million in debt under Chapter 11 protection. The company has told local reporters it employs about 143 people and plans to keep operating for its federal clients while it reorganizes in bankruptcy court.
Chapter 11 Filing And Court Details
ISG filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida on March 4, 2026, according to court filings. The case is docketed as number 26-12738, and early entries list assets and liabilities somewhere in the $1 million to $10 million range. Those same filings set a mid May deadline for most proofs of claim, with a separate government-claim deadline in August. The records list the firm’s Miramar address and show it is represented by attorney Thomas L. Abrams, details reflected in filings reported by BankruptcyObserver.
Government Work And Where ISG Serves
ISG holds federal small-business certifications and a GSA Schedule, and it has handled facilities maintenance, janitorial work and base operating support for multiple agencies. Public contracting records show the firm has provided airport janitorial and custodial services, along with other facility-support work at federal sites, and list Miramar as its principal place of business. Those details appear in the company’s SBA DSBS profile and in its GSA contractor listing.
Company Figures And Local Reporting
The South Florida Business Journal reports that ISG told the outlet it has accumulated more than $5 million in debts and employs about 143 people in the region. The South Florida Business Journal also notes that the company has cast the Chapter 11 filing as a move to stabilize operations and preserve existing government work while it develops a formal reorganization plan.
Legal Implications For Federal Contracts
Chapter 11 triggers an automatic stay that pauses many creditor actions, but it does not freeze federal missions. Contracting officers still have tools under federal procurement rules, including the option to terminate contracts for convenience or for default if performance is at risk. The Federal Acquisition Regulation spells out the clauses and procedures agencies use when a contractor becomes insolvent, and legal analysts point out that bankruptcy by itself does not automatically cancel FAR-covered contracts.
What Comes Next For Workers And Partners
While ISG works on a plan of reorganization, creditors can file claims under the schedule set by the court, and the company can ask the judge for permission to pay wages or critical vendors to keep the lights on. Local subcontractors, airport operators and federal contracting officials are likely to track upcoming motions that could ask the court to allow ISG to assume or reject specific contracts, as indicated in the initial docket entries available via BankruptcyObserver. Additional background on the firm’s federal work appears in its government contracting records on the SBA website. Beyond the brief comments given to the Business Journal, ISG has not released a fuller public timeline for its restructuring effort.
