Davis-Ulmer Sprinkler Company, Inc.

Davis-Ulmer Sprinkler Company, Inc. (doing business as Davis-Ulmer Sprinkler Co Inc.), a for-profit organization headquartered in Rochester, New York, operates as a fire protection and building systems contractor delivering maintenance, repair, inspection, and emergency services to federal facilities as a prime contractor on 89% of recent awards and as a subcontractor on the remainder. The vendor competes full-and-open, with no set-aside designations across its recent federal portfolio. Davis-Ulmer holds a subsidiary, W & M Sprinkler-NYC, LLC.

Davis-Ulmer's capability footprint centers on fire suppression systems maintenance, testing, and rehabilitation; fire alarm installation and remediation; emergency fire pump repair; kitchen hood cleaning and inspection; and fire protection infrastructure support across federal facilities. Recent prime work includes a $491,603 firm fixed-price purchase order with the National Institutes of Health (awarded September 2023, NIH Construction) for fire protection services at the Bethesda campus; a $210,668 purchase order with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 (awarded August 2024) for semi-annual cleaning and inspection of kitchen hoods and fire suppression systems at a Snyder, New York facility, running through July 2029; and a $45,887 definitive contract with the Army (awarded September 2024, Northeast Region) for sprinkler system rehabilitation at the Tech Museum. The vendor also performs subcontractor fire protection and fire alarm work under primes including Fluor Marine Propulsion LLC (Naval Nuclear Laboratory passive fire systems), Adams and Associates Inc. (Job Corps Center fire alarm deficiencies and safety systems), and Northwestern Corp (facility construction fire sprinkler installation).

Customer concentration spans fourteen distinct federal agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 50% of all awards and are led by the Air Force Air National Guard (12 awards, $142 thousand combined potential value) and the Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region (10 awards, $1.2 million combined potential value), with the Veterans Health Administration, NIH Construction, and the Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Mckean rounding out the set. By potential value, the Army Northeast Region dominates (10 awards, $1.2 million), followed by an unnamed Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 facility ($788 thousand from a single award), NIH Construction ($492 thousand), and VHA VISN 2 ($236 thousand). Davis-Ulmer places work under two blanket purchase agreements — W911S212A3010 (Army, 9 task orders, $206 thousand combined potential value) and 75N99019A00028 (1 task order) — and holds a seat on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and the HHS NIH Construction Blanket Purchase Agreement HHSN263201500235B.

Activity has been uneven. The vendor recorded three awards in 2021, then two in 2023, six in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026 (most recent July 31, 2026). Combined potential value across all sixty-six awards (prime and sub) sits at $3 million, with obligated dollars running $3.7 million across the period. The Service Contract Inventory shows Davis-Ulmer delivered 0.7 FTEs on federal service contracts in FY2022, declining to 0.1 FTEs in FY2024 before rising to 0.5 FTEs in FY2025; the vendor appears in SCI primarily as a named subcontractor (18 of 19 records) with minimal prime invoicing, reflecting the company's sub-heavy federal services reporting posture despite the 89% prime award share. Work is geographically dispersed across federal facilities in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Upper South regions, with headquarters administrative oversight in Rochester, New York.
