Global Fire And Safety, Inc.

Global Fire And Safety, Inc., a minority-owned, women-owned small disadvantaged business based in Oakland, California, delivers fire protection system maintenance, inspection, testing, certification, and specialized firefighting equipment services to federal maritime agencies as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards). The company competes predominantly under small business set-asides, particularly Total Small Business designations on single-award IDIQs, and full-and-open delivery orders against those vehicles.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward maritime Defense and civilian maritime agencies. The Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command dominates by dollar value at $37.7 million across 48 awards (91% coverage of combined potential value), while the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard leads by award count at 72 awards carrying $2.2 million combined potential value. The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of the Navy's Secretary of the Navy office, and the Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration round out the active customer set. This concentration reflects the company's specialized positioning in vessel fire safety rather than diversity of customer base.

Global Fire And Safety holds three single-award Coast Guard IDIQs for fire protection system maintenance at specific bases: Base Alameda ($568,389 ceiling, April 2026 expiration), Base Charleston ($557,878 ceiling, April 2027 expiration), and Base Honolulu ($380,695 ceiling, April 2027 expiration), all designated Total Small Business and awarded May 2022. Under these vehicles, the company issues delivery orders for fire suppression system maintenance, self-contained breathing apparatus servicing, fire detection inspections, and equipment certification aboard Coast Guard cutters including USCGC Bertholf, Stratton, Munro, Waesche, Calhoun, and others. The company also holds two multiple-award IDIQs from Military Sealift Command: a $13.4 million vehicle for shipboard firefighting support services (March 2028 expiration) and a $7.1 million vehicle for self-contained breathing apparatus services worldwide (November 2028 expiration). Delivery orders under MSC IDIQs have funded annual firefighting equipment maintenance on hospital ships including USNS Mercy and USNS Comfort, as well as logistics support vessels such as USNS Apalachicola, USNS Spearhead, USNS Choctaw County, USNS Fall River, and USNS Yuma. Representative prime work includes a $799,220 delivery order from MSC for fire and alarm parts for USNS Comfort (September 2023, Total Small Business set-aside), a $310,838 order for annual firefighting equipment service on USNS Mercy (November 2021), and multiple Coast Guard orders in the $6,000–$26,000 range for fire protection services on specific cutters.

Activity has remained steady at 16–18 awards annually across 2022–2025, with 4 awards recorded through May 2026. The company carries a recompete cliff of $1.1 million in IDV expirations: the Base Alameda IDIQ expires April 2026 and both the Base Charleston and Base Honolulu IDIQs expire April 2027. Recent subcontract work shows Global Fire And Safety performing firefighting support services and equipment maintenance under primes Crowley Government Services and BAE Systems Maritime Solutions San Diego on maritime prepositioning force vessel operations and USS Fort Worth (LCS-3) maintenance. Federal grant presence is minimal; the portfolio is contract-driven with 96% prime contractor awards and 4% sub-awards. The combined obligated value of $5.3 million against $41.4 million combined potential indicates a significant unfunded pipeline, typical of IDIQ vehicles where task orders are issued incrementally against ceiling authority.
