[1]	Under a contract with a customer that commenced in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company received advance payments to be used to pay providers of services to the customer, a separate third-party. The advanced payments are treated as restricted cash as the Company is required under the contract to distribute the advanced funds to the third-party providers of services or return the advanced funds to the customer. Because the Company receives the advance payments from the customer, which must be refunded to the customer or remitted to a third party, the cash receipts are treated as borrowings and recorded in restricted cash and accrued expenses and other current

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations	NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ICF International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Nature of Operations The Company provides professional services and technology-based solutions to government and commercial clients, including management, marketing, technology, and policy consulting and implementation services, in the areas of energy, environment, and infrastructure; health, education, and social programs; safety and security; and consumer and financial services. The Company offers a full range of services to these clients throughout the entire life cycle of a policy, program, project, or initiative, from research and analysis and assessment and advice to design and implementation of programs and technology-based solutions, and the provision of engagement services and programs. The Company’s major clients are U.S. federal government departments and agencies, most significantly the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of State, and Department of Defense. The Company also serves U.S. state (including territories) and local government departments and agencies, international governments, and commercial clients worldwide. Commercial clients include airlines, airports, electric and gas utilities, health care companies, banks and other financial services companies, transportation, travel and hospitality firms, non-profits/associations, law firms, manufacturing firms, retail chains, and distribution companies. The term “federal” or “federal government” refers to the U.S. federal government, and “state and local” or “state and local government” refers to U.S. state (including territories) and local governments, unless otherwise indicated. The Company, incorporated in Delaware, is headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia. The Company maintains additional offices throughout the world, including 55 offices in the U.S. and U.S. territories and 24 offices in key markets outside the U.S., including offices in the United Kingdom, Belgium, China, India, and Canada. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Areas of the consolidated financial statements where estimates may have the most significant effect include contractual and regulatory reserves, valuation and lives of tangible and intangible assets, contingent consideration related to business acquisitions, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, accrued liabilities, revenue recognition and costs to complete fixed-price contracts, bonus and other incentive compensation, stock-based compensation, reserves for tax benefits and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, provisions for income taxes, collectability of receivables, and loss accruals for litigation. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ from management's estimates. Interim Results The unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These rules and regulations permit some of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to be condensed or omitted. In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position of the Company for the interim periods presented. The Company reports operating results and financial data in one operating segment and reporting unit. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021 (the “Annual Report”). Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following: September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Deposits $ 14,069 $ 9,881 Restricted deposits 34,404 68,138 Accrued IT and software licensing costs 1,445 2,157 Accrued taxes and insurance premiums 3,504 4,327 Accrued facilities rental and lease exit costs 1,351 780 Accrued interest 236 214 Accrued professional services 3,825 2,094 Accrued dividends 2,641 2,641 Contingent liabilities from acquisitions — 683 Interest rate swap liability - current 3,584 3,693 Other accrued expenses and current liabilities 5,376 6,300 Total accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 70,435 $ 100,908 Reclassifications The Company has reclassified “Non-cash lease expense” which was previously part of “Other adjustments, net” on the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 for consistency of presentation with the same period in 2021. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The standard is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The provisions of this ASU are elective and apply to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have debt or hedging contracts, among other contracts, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The Company can elect to not apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. Also, the Company can elect various optional expedients that would allow for the Company to continue to apply hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met.

The advanced payments are treated as restricted cash as the Company is required under the contract to distribute the advanced funds to the third-party providers of services or return the advanced funds to the customer. Because the Company receives the advance payments from the customer, which must be refunded to the customer or remitted to a third party, the cash receipts are treated as borrowings and recorded in restricted cash and accrued expenses and other current liabilities rather than receipts for the provision of goods or services. Therefore, these cash receipts are presented in the consolidated statement s of cash flows as financing cash inflows, “ R eceipt of restricted contract funds”, with the subsequent payments classified as financing cash outflows, “ P ayment of restricted contract funds.”

Base Rates are fluctuating per annum rates of interest equal to the highest of (i) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate, plus 0.5%, (ii) the Prime Rate (as defined under the Credit Facility) and (iii) the daily LIBOR rate, plus a LIBOR margin between 1.00% and 2.00% based on its Leverage Ratio (as defined under the Credit Facility). The interest accrued based on LIBOR 1 or 3-month rates is to be paid on the last business day of the interest period and on the last day of the third month for 6-month LIBOR rate, while interest accrued based on the Base Rate is to be paid in quarterly installments. The Credit Facility also provides for letters of credit aggregating up to $60.0 million which reduce the funds available under the Credit Facility when issued. The unused portion of the Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee between 0.13% and 0.25% per annum based on the Leverage Ratio. The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company and requires that the Company remain in compliance with certain financial and non-financial covenants. The financial covenants require, among other things, that the Company maintain at all times an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined under the Credit Facility) of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and a Leverage Ratio of not more than 4.00 to 1.00 (subject to a step-up to 4.25 to 1.0 for a four quarter period following permitted acquisitions as defined under the Credit Facility) As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $281.8 million debt outstanding from the Credit Facility (including the term loan, exclusive of unamortized debt issuance costs), outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $3.3 million, net derivative obligations of $5.7 million and unused borrowing capacity of $499.9 million Future scheduled repayments of debt principal are as follows: Payments due by Term Loan Revolving Credit Total September 30, 2022 $ 10,000 $ — $ 10,000 September 30, 2023 12,500 — 12,500 September 30, 2024 15,000 — 15,000 March 3, 2025 (Maturity) 147,500 96,836 244,336 Total $ 185,000 $ 96,836 $ 281,836

Revenue Recognition

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	NOTE 7 – REVENUE RECOGNITION Disaggregation of Revenue The Company disaggregates revenue from clients, most of which is earned over time, into categories that depict how the nature, amount and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Those categories are client market, client type and contract mix. Client markets provide insight into the breadth of the Company’s expertise. In classifying revenue by client market, the Company attributes revenue from a client to the market that the Company believes is the client’s primary market. The Company also classifies revenue by the type of entity for which it does business, which is an indicator of the diversity of its client base. The Company attributes revenue generated from being a subcontractor to a commercial company as government revenue when the ultimate client is a government agency or department. Disaggregation by contract mix provides insight in terms of the degree of performance risk that the Company has assumed. Fixed-price contracts are considered to provide the highest amount of performance risk as the Company is required to deliver a scope of work or level of effort for a negotiated fixed price. Time-and-materials contracts require the Company to provide skilled employees on contracts for negotiated fixed hourly rates. Since the Company is not required to deliver a scope of work, but merely skilled employees, it considers these contracts to be less risky than a fixed-price agreement. Cost-based contracts are considered to provide the lowest amount of performance risk since the Company is generally reimbursed for all contract costs incurred in performance of contract deliverables with only the amount of incentive or award fees (if applicable) dependent on the achievement of negotiated performance requirements. Changes in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were driven by an increase in the health, education, and social programs client market led by revenue from U.S. federal government, U.S. state and local government, and international government clients, an increase of revenue in the energy, environment, and infrastructure client market primarily in revenue from international government clients, and an increase in the consumer and financial services client market led by revenue from U.S. commercial clients. Revenue from safety and security client market saw decreases in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020, mainly from U.S. federal government clients.

Contract liabilities result from advance payments received on a contract or from billings in excess of revenue recognized on long-term contracts due to billing schedule timing. The following table summarizes the contract balances as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020: September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 $ Change % Change Contract assets $ 154,804 $ 143,369 $ 11,435 8.0 % Contract liabilities (38,108 ) (42,050 ) 3,942 (9.4 %) Net contract assets (liabilities) $ 116,696 $ 101,319 $ 15,377 15.2 % The net contract assets (liabilities) as of September 30, 2021 increased by $15.4 million as compared to December 31, 2020. The increase in net contract assets (liabilities) is primarily due to the timing difference between the performance of services and billings to and payments from customers. There were no material changes to contract balances due to impairments during the period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $21.7 million and $21.5 million in revenue related to the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Performance Obligations: The Company had $1.4 billion in unfulfilled performance obligations as of September 30, 2021 which primarily entail the future delivery of services for which revenue will be recognized over time. The obligations relate to continued or additional services required on non-cancelable contracts and were generally valued using an estimated cost-plus margin approach, with variable consideration being estimated at the most likely amount. The amounts exclude marketing offers which are negotiated but unexercised contract options and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) and similar arrangements that provided a framework for customers to issue specific tasks, delivery, or purchase orders in the future. The Company expects to satisfy the unfulfilled performance obligations, on average, in one to two years.

Accounting for Stock-based Compensation	NOTE 12 – ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION On April 4, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2018 Omnibus Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the stockholders and became effective on May 31, 2018 (the “Effective Date”). The 2018 Omnibus Plan replaced the previous 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”). The 2018 Omnibus Plan was amended on May 28, 2020 to increase the number of shares available for issuance. The 2018 Omnibus Plan, as amended, allows the Company to grant 1,600,000 shares using stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSU”), performance units and performance share awards (“PSA”), cash-settled restricted stock units (“CSRSU”), and other stock-based awards to all officers, key employees, and non-employee directors of the Company. Outstanding shares granted under the Prior Plan, totaling 37,077 as of September 30, 2021, remain subject to its terms and conditions, and no additional awards from the Prior Plan are to be made after the Effective Date. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately 995,042 shares available for grant under the 2018 Omnibus Plan. CSRSUs have no impact on the shares available for grant under the Omnibus Plan, nor on the calculated shares used in earnings per share calculations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company granted to its employees 78,938 shares in the form of RSUs with an average grant date fair value of $89.01, the equivalent value of 51,011 shares in the form of CSRSUs with an average grant date fair value of $89.13, and 35,318 shares in the form of PSAs to its employees with a grant date fair value of $95.72 per share. The RSUs, CSRSUs and PSAs granted are generally subject to service-based vesting conditions, with the PSAs also having performance-based vesting conditions. The performance conditions for the PSAs granted in 2021 have a performance period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023 and performance conditions that are consistent with the PSAs granted in prior years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company granted 11,186 shares to non-employee directors in the form of RSUs with a grant date fair value of $90.73. The non-employee director awards are subject to an annual service-based vesting condition.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	NOTE 14 – EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company’s earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing reported net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS considers the potential dilution that could occur if common stock equivalents were exercised or converted into stock. The difference between the basic and diluted weighted-average equivalent shares with respect to the Company’s EPS calculation was due entirely to the assumed exercise of stock options and the vesting and settlement of RSUs and PSAs. PSAs are included in the computation of diluted shares only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions (i) are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period or (ii) would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were also the end of the applicable performance period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. As of September 30, 2021, the PSAs granted during the year ended December 31, 2019 met the related performance conditions for the initial performance period and were included in the calculation of diluted EPS. However, the PSAs granted during the year ended December 31, 2020 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 have not yet completed their initial two-year The dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs, and PSAs for each period reported is summarized below: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Net Income $ 20,390 $ 17,871 $ 59,053 $ 42,139 Weighted-average number of basic shares outstanding during the period 18,865 18,853 18,864 18,841 Dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs, and performance shares 196 233 213 270 Weighted-average number of diluted shares outstanding during the period 19,061 19,086 19,077 19,111 Basic earnings per share $ 1.08 $ 0.95 $ 3.13 $ 2.24 Diluted earnings per share $ 1.07 $ 0.94 $ 3.10 $ 2.20

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	NOTE 18 – Litigation and Claims The Company is involved in various legal matters and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While these matters and proceedings cause it to incur costs, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, the Company currently believes that any ultimate liability arising out of these matters and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Road Home Contract On June 10, 2016, the Office of Community Development (the “OCD”) of the State of Louisiana filed a written administrative demand with the Louisiana Commissioner of Administration against ICF Emergency Management Services, L.L.C. (“ICF Emergency”), a subsidiary of the Company, in connection with ICF Emergency’s administration of the Road Home Program (“Program”). The Program contract was a three-year The Program was primarily intended to help homeowners and landlords of small rental properties affected by Hurricanes Rita and Katrina. In its administrative demand, the OCD sought approximately $200.8 million in alleged overpayments to the Program’s grant recipients, and separately supplemented the amount of recovery it sought in total to approximately $220.2 million. The State of Louisiana, through the Division of Administration, also filed suit in Louisiana state court on June 10, 2016. The State of Louisiana broadly alleges and sought recoupment for the same claim made in the administrative proceeding submission before the Louisiana Commissioner of Administration. On September 21, 2016, the Commissioner of the Division of Administration notified OCD and the Company of his decision to defer jurisdiction of the administrative demand filed by the OCD. In so doing, the Commissioner declined to reach a decision on the merits, stated that his deferral would not be deemed to grant or deny any portion of the OCD’s claim, and authorized the parties to proceed on the matter in the previously filed judicial proceeding. The Company continues to believe that this claim has no merit, intends to vigorously defend its position, and has therefore not recorded a liability as of September 30, 2021. Executive Chair Retirement On November 15, 2020, the Company’s former Executive Chair gave notice of his retirement effective December 31, 2020. In connection with his retirement, the former Executive Chair is entitled to receive compensation and benefits as provided in his employment agreement for a termination of employment on the basis of “good reason.” As of September 30, 2021, there were PSAs totaling 34,276 shares remaining which were originally granted to the former Executive Chair during 2019 and 2020 that are to be satisfied through the normal course of the PSA equity award plan (see Note 12—Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation), and subject to adjustments from EPS and rTSR performances.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ICF International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Areas of the consolidated financial statements where estimates may have the most significant effect include contractual and regulatory reserves, valuation and lives of tangible and intangible assets, contingent consideration related to business acquisitions, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, accrued liabilities, revenue recognition and costs to complete fixed-price contracts, bonus and other incentive compensation, stock-based compensation, reserves for tax benefits and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, provisions for income taxes, collectability of receivables, and loss accruals for litigation. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ from management's estimates.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications The Company has reclassified “Non-cash lease expense” which was previously part of “Other adjustments, net” on the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 for consistency of presentation with the same period in 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The standard is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The provisions of this ASU are elective and apply to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have debt or hedging contracts, among other contracts, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The Company can elect to not apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. Also, the Company can elect various optional expedients that would allow for the Company to continue to apply hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met.

The advanced payments are treated as restricted cash as the Company is required under the contract to distribute the advanced funds to the third-party providers of services or return the advanced funds to the customer. Because the Company receives the advance payments from the customer, which must be refunded to the customer or remitted to a third party, the cash receipts are treated as borrowings and recorded in restricted cash and accrued expenses and other current liabilities rather than receipts for the provision of goods or services. Therefore, these cash receipts are presented in the consolidated statement s of cash flows as financing cash inflows, “ R eceipt of restricted contract funds”, with the subsequent payments classified as financing cash outflows, “ P ayment of restricted contract funds.”
