The 109th Air Wing of the Air Force, operating through the New York Army National Guard, awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $55,750 to West Shore Services Inc. for biannual maintenance services on its mass notification system at Stratton Air National Guard Base in Schenectady, NY. The contract, which commenced on August 26, 2025, establishes a one-year base period with four one-year option periods, extending through August 25, 2030. West Shore Services Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Allendale, Michigan, specializes in maintenance, installation, and upgrade services for emergency mass notification systems, particularly Federal Signal Giant Voice systems used across military installations.
The scope of work includes biannual preventative maintenance of the existing outdoor mass notification infrastructure, comprising two Federal Signal giant voice towers, two control centers with radio frequency consolettes, and an AtHoc alert system. Personnel performing the work must hold Federal Signal Systems certifications and possess at least three years of experience with comparable mass notification systems. Maintenance visits will be conducted during standard business hours (0730–1500 hours, Monday through Friday, excluding U.S. holidays) with service records to be submitted within five days of work completion. West Shore Services Inc. brings substantial relevant experience, having received multiple federal contracts with various Air Force commands for similar installation notification and warning system maintenance, and currently holds a $175,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement with Naval Sea Systems Command for Giant Voice system maintenance across naval installations.
