Alertus Technologies LLC

Alertus Technologies LLC, a Baltimore-based for-profit limited liability company, designs and deploys emergency notification systems, mass communication platforms, and related hardware to federal agencies as a prime contractor (98% of awards), competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designation, though two recent awards carry Total Small Business set-asides.

Alertus operates across a distributed federal customer base spanning 23 agencies, with concentration in the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Homeland Security. The top five customers by award count account for 51% of recent awards, led by VA Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 (7 awards, $1.4 million combined potential value), the Air Force (6 awards, $403 thousand), Naval Sea Systems Command (4 awards, $437 thousand), and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (3 awards, $1.1 million). The top-five ranking by potential value shifts slightly: VAMC VISN 5 and FLETC remain anchors at $1.4 million and $1.1 million respectively, while VAMC VISN 15's single $699 thousand hazard warning system contract, VA Technology Acquisition Center's $544 thousand notification system order, and Naval Sea Systems' $437 thousand in combined orders round out the dollars. Alertus competes heavily against the VA's centralized procurement apparatus — VISN 5 alone has issued six to seven purchase orders for Alertus consoles, beacons, speakers, panic buttons, and system expansions; multiple awards cite sole-source or brand-name-or-equal justifications.

Alertus's capability portfolio centers on IP-based emergency alert platforms, Giant Voice mass notification systems, Rapid Response control consoles with voice capability, wearable panic button devices, audio-visual alert beacons, and integrated hardware-software-installation-training service packages. Recent representative work includes a $1.02 million total small business definitive contract with the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center for an early warning system across four training delivery points (Glynco, Charleston, Cheltenham, Artesia) running through December 2029; a $699 thousand firm fixed-price award from VA VISN 15 for a hazard warning system spanning Kansas City, Topeka, and Leavenworth medical centers; a $749 thousand sole-source purchase order from VA VISN 5 for expanding existing Alertus emergency communication systems at Baltimore-area medical centers; a $239 thousand annual license order from the Air Force; and a $176 thousand two-year panic button device and subscription contract with the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency. Alertus self-performs substantially all contract labor; SCI data shows zero subcontractor hours across SCI-reportable prime contracts in fiscal years 2023–2025.

The vendor's federal services activity captured in the Service Contract Inventory reflects $363 thousand in FY2024 invoiced revenue across 0.4 FTEs, with a derived government-paid hourly rate of approximately $454 per hour. SCI coverage is sparse — only eight records (seven prime, one sub) across fiscal years 2022–2025 — because the majority of Alertus's footprint consists of purchase orders for commercial off-the-shelf hardware and short-duration installation services below the $150 thousand SCI reporting threshold, or for goods rather than services. FY2022 shows 6.1 SCI-reportable FTEs, but subsequent fiscal years drop to zero or fractional FTE values as larger procurements (such as the FLETC $1.02 million and VA VISN 5 $749 thousand awards) are classified as products or mixed hardware-service arrangements rather than pure service contracts.

Award activity remained relatively flat over the five-year window: three awards in 2022, seven in 2023, five in 2024, six in 2025, and six in 2026 (through September 30). Six awards totaling $872 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete opportunity. Alertus's NAICS profile clusters around communications equipment manufacturing (20 awards under "Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing") and computer-related services and security systems work (7 awards each), with corresponding PSC concentration in alarm and signal detection systems (9 awards) and communications security equipment (8 awards). One subcontract appears in the source — a sub award under Consolidated Nuclear Security LLC for incremental funding on the Y-12 National Security Complex and Pantex Plant management and operating contract, dated January 30, 2024, though the subcontract scope is not detailed in the source material.
