Bowman Fire & Life Safety, Inc.

Bowman Fire & Life Safety, Inc., doing business as Fisher Engineering, provides fire protection engineering design, assessment, and life safety system evaluation services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing predominantly on an unrestricted (non-set-aside) basis across civilian and defense customers. The firm is a for-profit subsidiary of Bowman Consulting Group LTD, headquartered in Johns Creek, Georgia, with SAM.gov registration dating to 2008. Bowman Fire & Life Safety holds two significant single-award indefinite delivery contracts valued at $15 million each—one with Naval Facilities Engineering Command for the Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (through March 2027) and another directly with the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (through July 2026)—that anchor a global fire protection engineering footprint serving overseas diplomatic and military real estate portfolios.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on fire protection system design and engineering review, structural fire risk assessments, life safety system evaluations, fire alarm and suppression system design and replacement, hangar trench fire testing and modeling, and fire investigation services. Recent representative work includes a $500 thousand delivery order from Naval Facilities Engineering Command for hangar fire protection criteria development in Norway (September 2025); a $1.035 million non-hangar aqueous film forming foam systems fire protection assessment for the U.S. Marine Corps (July 2024); schematic design services for fire suppression system installations at Whitman Mission National Historic Site ($83.6 thousand, September 2025) and Nez Perce National Historical Park ($49.2 thousand, September 2025), both issued by the National Park Service Pacific West Region under total small business set-aside; and a $723 thousand delivery order from the Department of the Navy for design, assessment, and repair of fire protection systems at CAD1, CAD6, and CAD10 facilities (September 2022).

Customer concentration reflects a dual-agency posture. The top five funding agencies account for 62% of recent awards by count but split differently by potential value. Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command dominates the dollar ranking with eight awards worth $17.3 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of State Bureau of Administration's single $15 million IDIQ award. The Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations places the most individual orders—19 awards generating $11.2 million—reflecting transactional task-order volume under the two large IDIQ vehicles. The Department of the Interior National Park Service (combined across Southeast and Northeast regions) accounts for 20 awards totaling roughly $1.5 million, and the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration carries seven small awards worth $72 thousand. The vendor serves 20 distinct customer agencies in recent activity.

Bowman Fire & Life Safety operates from two primary IDIQ parent vehicles. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command indefinite delivery contract (N4008522D0004) generates 15 task orders worth $6.4 million combined potential value. The Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations indefinite delivery contract (SAQMMA15D0023) carries 13 task orders worth $1.5 million, while the larger Bureau of Overseas Building Operations contract (award date July 26, 2021, ceiling $15 million, completion July 25, 2026) anchors the vendor's international real estate portfolio work. Interior's National Park Service operates an indefinite delivery contract (140P2120D0007) from which 25 task orders have issued, totaling $1.9 million combined potential value. A small-business-set-aside blanket purchase agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHSP23320095541DB) carries five task orders worth $38 thousand.

Activity trajectory shows moderate growth: 13 awards in 2022, declining to eight in 2023 and eight in 2024, then recovering to 12 in 2025, with one award to date in 2026. Nine awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $2.3 million, representing moderate recompete exposure. The vendor competes across 47 awards under NAICS 541330 (engineering services) and related technical consulting categories, with 25 awards under PSC Architect and Engineering—General (Inspection, Non-Construction) and 11 under Architect and Engineering—Construction (Office Buildings). Ninety-eight percent of recent awards are prime contracts; only two sub-awards appear in the source (one sub to RSP Architects, LIMITED for Army Reserve Center design in Birmingham, Alabama, October 2023). Bowman Fire & Life Safety operates as a child entity within the Bowman Consulting Group LTD corporate structure, which itself holds federal prime contract positions and grant awardee status.
