Electronic Security System Generation 7 (ESS VII)

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville awarded this Master IDIQ for electronic security systems on September 26, 2022, with ordering authority extending through September 25, 2029—approximately 3 years 2 months remaining. The vehicle carries a shared ceiling of $675 million and spans procurement, installation, servicing, and maintenance of integrated ESS across physical security, building automation, fire alarm, life safety, chemical/biological/radiological detection, and mass notification systems, with performance scope including CONUS, OCONUS, and hostile areas.

Activity remains strong. The vehicle has generated 140 task orders valued at $627.1 million combined potential, with $266.5 million obligated (42% drawdown). Annual ordering has accelerated: 23 orders in 2022, climbing to 45 in 2024 and 42 in 2025, indicating sustained customer demand and a healthy ordering pipeline. The most recent task order awarded February 11, 2026.

The competitive field is highly concentrated among prime contractors. Alamo-Evergreen JV LLC leads by both volume (30 orders, $137.4 million combined potential) and persists as the plurality prime. Integrated Security Solutions Inc. follows with 20 orders and $126 million combined potential. Together with Signet Technologies Inc., Ptsi Managed Services Inc., and Johnson Controls Building Automation Systems LLC—the next three by potential value—these five primes capture approximately 65% of combined potential value. Beyond that tier sits a long tail of 20 smaller primes, each with fewer than nine awards.

Customer concentration mirrors ordering volume. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering and Support Center holds 38 orders totaling $218.7 million potential value; the subordinate Engineering Support Center Huntsville accounts for 30 orders and $52.9 million. The Air Force Reserve Command, broader Department of the Army, and Defense Logistics Agency Distribution follow. Roughly 64% of task orders fund Army-affiliated programs, with the remainder distributed across Air Force, Defense Logistics Agency, Navy Medicine, and other federal customers.

Set-aside activity remains minimal. Of 140 task orders, 125 carry no set-aside (89%), while 15 are designated Total Small Business (11%), reflecting an unrestricted competitive vehicle. Recent small-business awards span maintenance and service work at varied installations.

Task-order values range widely. Recent awards span from $244,604 (video surveillance at Aberdeen Test) to $24.4 million potential (maintenance and service across multiple Army National Guard bases). Typical ceiling values for integrated ESS planning, procurement, and installation run $1.8 million to $21.6 million. Maintenance and service orders cluster lower, often $1 million to $6 million potential. Performance periods extend one to five years as stated in the original solicitation, with recent awards showing completion dates stretching into 2031.

This contract is to provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, non- personal services, and other items necessary to procure, install, service and maintain ESS. ESS can include the incorporation of physical security and force protection measures, and Automated Control Systems to include building automation systems, fire alarm systems, life safety systems, chemical/biological/radiological detection/response systems, mass notification systems, and other related electronic systems.
