Guardian Fire Protection Services, LLC

Guardian Fire Protection Services, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Derwood, Maryland, provides fire suppression system installation, fire alarm repair, fire extinguisher maintenance and certification, and CO2 tank inspection and servicing to federal agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards), competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations. The vendor operates primarily through small-business purchase orders across civilian and military federal customers.

Guardian's customer base is highly dispersed across 25 distinct federal agencies, with no dominant customer relationship. The top five agencies by award count account for 21% of recent awards, led by the Department of the Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing (5 awards, $302 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of the Army (4 awards). By potential value, the Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy ranks second with a single $126 thousand award (the March 2026 Kidde clean agent fire suppression system installation and regulatory training for the Training Vessel Kings Pointer, with completion by July 31, 2026), followed by the National Park Service (2 awards, $38 thousand), and the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service (1 award, $20 thousand). This fragmented customer base reflects Guardian's position as a specialized service vendor filling tactical maintenance and repair needs across property and vessel portfolios rather than a large-scale prime on consolidated agency accounts.

Guardian's recent work demonstrates narrow, mission-critical capability depth. Representative awards include the $126.1 thousand Navy contract for Kidde clean agent fire suppression system supply, installation, and training aboard the Training Vessel Kings Pointer at Great Neck, New York (award date March 19, 2026); a $83.6 thousand Army Test and Evaluation Command purchase order for CO2 storage tank inspection, labor, and replacement parts at Aberdeen Proving Ground (award date February 1, 2024, completion by March 31, 2025); a $28.5 thousand National Park Service order for alarm system repairs at the Fitzgerald Tennis Center in Rock Creek Park, Washington, DC (award date July 1, 2025); and a $8.7 thousand Coast Guard small-business set-aside for hydrotest, inspection, and filling of fire extinguishers and self-contained breathing apparatus equipment in Baltimore (award date December 6, 2024). The vendor subcontracts minimally—a single documented sub engagement with Crowley Government Services, Inc., performing annual firefighting inspections under a maritime prepositioning force vessel operations and maintenance contract (N105A/PM3 HAYCOX).

Activity remains intermittent and low-volume. Awards per year have averaged under two orders annually over the last five years (2014 through 2026), with three awards in 2025 and one in 2026. Combined potential value across all 86 awards is $4.1 million, with $3.9 million already obligated. One award carrying $126 thousand completes within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited recompete exposure. The vendor holds seats on four indefinite delivery vehicles: DADA1595D0007 and V512PP44501 (fire protection maintenance), V512PP445 (carrying $116 thousand in combined potential value), and TEPS0300143 (a blanket purchase agreement). Capability concentration centers on fire protection (21 awards), security systems services (8 awards), and equipment repair and maintenance (9 awards), with secondary exposure to miscellaneous durable goods wholesaling and ship building and repair.
