Facility Improvement Corporation

Facility Improvement Corporation, doing business as Fico, delivers facility control system upgrades, physical access control system replacements, HVAC maintenance, building automation system integration, and emergency facility repairs to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of the Interior as a full-and-open prime contractor—operating exclusively in a prime capacity with no subcontract footprint across its recent award record.

Fico is a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in Great Falls, Montana, with primary work spanning NAICS plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contracting (NAICS 4172xx range) and commercial/industrial equipment repair and maintenance. The vendor carries no SBA set-aside certifications; all nineteen awards in the source record were issued under full-and-open competition without set-aside designation. The firm has maintained continuous federal contracting activity since at least 2005, with registered federal presence in SAM.gov since that period.

Customer concentration is extreme and immobile. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (VISN 19) accounts for 7 of 11 named awards (58% of award count) and $4.1 million of the $4.3 million combined potential value across all awards (95% of dollars). Fico's relationship with VISN 19 centers on the Fort Harrison VA Medical Center in Montana, where the vendor has executed a series of facility infrastructure projects: a $1.27 million facility control system upgrade awarded October 16, 2023 (ultimate completion December 31, 2024, extended 31 days); a $624 thousand physical access control system replacement issued August 1, 2023; a $1.16 million facility control systems upgrade Phase 2 contract awarded August 26, 2024 (ultimate completion January 16, 2026); a $149.75 thousand GOVCloud services purchase order from August 15, 2025; and a $108.65 thousand annual software and hardware maintenance and support purchase order for the Feenics Keep V3 AWS Enterprise GOV Cloud platform awarded August 15, 2026 (performance through August 14, 2028). Fico also holds a $378.67 thousand project management services contract for Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure building automation system at Fort Harrison, performance through May 30, 2027. Secondary customers include the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs Rocky Mountain Region (2 awards totaling $7 thousand for FICO II facility work and emergency detention center repairs) and the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region (1 award of $17.89 thousand for HVAC flush and fill at Great Falls Air Traffic Control Tower in October 2021).

Activity has contracted sharply: one award in 2022, four in 2023, then one each in 2024, 2025, and 2026. Two awards (combined potential value $487 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure in that window. Fico operates at small scale—$4.3 million combined potential value across nineteen awards over roughly twenty years—with high geographic and customer concentration in Montana and near-total dependence on a single VA facility relationship. The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on facility systems integration, building automation, preventative maintenance, and emergency repairs rather than broader federal facility management or construction services.
