Advanced Communications, Inc.

Advanced Communications, Inc., a small-business subchapter S corporation based in Alaska, provides fire alarm systems inspection, testing, installation, and maintenance services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor. The vendor competes entirely under total small business set-asides (all 17 recent awards carry small-business set-aside designations) and has no subcontract footprint.

Advanced Communications operates almost entirely for the U.S. Coast Guard, which accounts for 13 of 17 awards (94% of award count) and $81 thousand of the $102 thousand combined potential value across all recent federal work. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on fire alarm panel inspection and testing, panel replacement, intrusion alarm systems, access control systems, and closed-circuit television installation and maintenance at Coast Guard facilities in Ketchikan, Alaska. Representative work includes a $31.7 thousand total small business purchase order awarded July 29, 2026, for annual fire alarm panel inspections with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2030; a $7.064 thousand purchase order from July 2023 for panel, alarm can, and keypad replacement at warehouses, explosive storage depots, and force communication armories; and a $5.755 thousand purchase order from September 2024 for fire alarm systems inspection and testing at Base Ketchikan. The vendor also holds minor awards from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ($4 thousand), the Forest Service Alaska Region ($3 thousand), and the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

Activity volume is low and episodic — one award in 2020, one in 2021, two in 2023, one in 2024, and two in 2026 — with combined obligated value at $89 thousand (87% of potential value). No recompete cliff is evident in the near term.
