Firewatch Contracting Of Florida LLC

Firewatch Contracting Of Florida LLC, doing business as Firewatch Contracting, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) prime contractor based in Tampa, Florida, that delivers construction, renovation, and facility infrastructure services to the Department of Veterans Affairs and other federal agencies under SDVOSB set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) and competes under SDVOSB designation across its entire federal footprint, with secondary certification as a self-certified small disadvantaged business.

Firewatch's capability portfolio centers on commercial and institutional building construction, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) system replacement and renovation, and facility maintenance work at federal healthcare and administrative campuses. Primary NAICS concentration is 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), representing 36 of 61 recent awards. Representative recent work includes a $5.56 million firm-fixed-price definitive contract awarded by the Department of the Army in January 2026 for construction of a new boat ramp, repairs to existing infrastructure, dumpster enclosure, shade structures, asphalt paving, and landscaping at the Greenbelt Landing Project in Memphis, Tennessee (place of performance through March 2027); a $6.148 million SDVOSB contract from Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 in December 2025 for refinish of connecting corridors at Lexington VA Health Care System's Franklin R. Sousley Campus in Kentucky; and a $6.845 million contract from VISN 2 for replacement of main domestic hot and cold water lines and valves at the Stratton VA Medical Center in Albany, New York.

Customer concentration is heavily VA-anchored. The top five customers by award count account for 49% of all awards, with VISN 8 leading at 13 awards and $259.5 million combined potential value, followed by VISN 9, VISN 6, the VA National Cemetery Administration, and VISN 1. However, potential-value rankings diverge significantly: VISN 7 anchors $500 million across just 3 awards, VISN 4 carries $250 million across 2 awards, and NASA Glenn Research Center and Stennis Space Center together represent $180 million across 3 awards. These large-dollar outliers suggest recent expansion beyond VA healthcare facilities into space-center infrastructure and civil engineering work, though the source does not detail the scope of those NASA contracts.

Firewatch places task orders under five named IDC vehicles, led by VA Indefinite Delivery Contract VA248C1869 (4 task orders, $3.9 million combined potential value) and VA241C1311 (3 task orders, $29.7 million combined potential value). Activity has been light in recent years — only 2 awards in both 2021 and 2022, 2 in 2023, 2 in 2025, and 1 in 2026 — but the combined potential value of $1.4 billion reflects the inclusion of the large NASA and VISN multi-award vehicles in the portfolio. Recompete exposure is modest: only 2 awards (combined potential value $11.7 million) complete in the next twenty-four months.

SCI-reported invoicing on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $11 million across FY2022 through FY2024, with FY2023 peak at $7.2 million. The SCI dataset shows roughly 2 FTEs delivered to the federal government per fiscal year on reportable contracts. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, government-paid rates ran median around $243.61 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $386.30 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed an average of 47% of total contractor hours, with five named subcontractors reported; this sub-engagement pattern suggests Firewatch builds mixed delivery teams rather than delivering all work with internal staff, though the overall low SCI dollar volume and FTE count indicate that most of Firewatch's federal revenue comes from construction contracts (classified under goods procurement rather than service contracts) and falls outside the SCI reporting threshold.
