HCI Systems, Inc.

HCI Systems, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business and DOT-certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise based in Ontario, California, delivers fire protection, security, and low-voltage systems installation, maintenance, and emergency repair services to federal civilian and defense agencies as a prime contractor (65% of awards) and as a subcontractor (35% of awards). The vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designation; across recent awards, 90% carry no set-aside, with Total Small Business designations appearing on 10% of orders.

HCI Systems' customer footprint is heavily concentrated in Naval and Veterans Affairs infrastructure. The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command anchors 98% of combined potential value across all awards ($500.9 million of $512.2 million total), driven by a $240 million multiple-award IDIQ for Fire Protection MACC V awarded December 18, 2025, with performance through December 17, 2027, covering the Western States region. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 ranks second by award count (42 awards) but contributes only $6.7 million in combined potential value, reflecting a high-volume, low-dollar transactional pattern typical of facility maintenance and emergency repair work. NAVFAC and the Veterans Affairs network account for 90% of recent awards; the remaining 10% spread across the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center, the Air National Guard, the United States Marine Corps, the Naval Sea Systems Command, the Military Sealift Command, and other minor agencies.

HCI Systems' capability portfolio centers on fire alarm system replacement, upgrades, and emergency repair; fire suppression system testing and maintenance; fire pump replacement; security camera system installation and upgrades; and low-voltage systems support. Representative prime work includes an $11.0 million delivery order from Naval Facilities Engineering Command for fire alarm and management system upgrades at Naval Medical Center San Diego (awarded November 23, 2022, completion June 15, 2026); a $2.1 million purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 for fire life safety system maintenance across VA facilities in California (awarded July 1, 2023, completion June 30, 2028); a $1.1 million delivery order from NAVFAC for fire alarm replacement and fire protection life safety upgrades at Naval Base San Diego (awarded September 21, 2023, completion March 31, 2026); and a $903 thousand purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 for emergency fire alarm system replacement at Long Beach VA Health Care System (awarded December 20, 2024, completion September 30, 2025). HCI Systems subcontracts to larger primes including I.e.-Pacific, Inc. (multiple building conversion and upgrade projects at Naval Base San Diego), Lead Builders Inc. (fire alarm and mass notification system installation at Channel Islands Air Guard Station), RQ Construction LLC (fire alarm system work on design-build solicitations), Macro-Z-Technology Company (fire alarm and paging system extensions), and Defense Base Services LLC (facility maintenance services at Naval Base San Diego).

On the NAVFAC parent vehicles, HCI Systems holds seat positions on three active IDIQs: the $240 million Fire Protection MACC V (multiple-award, Total Small Business, 2025–2027); Indefinite Delivery Contract N6247319D2447 with 12 task orders ($25 million combined potential value); and the legacy NAVFAC SW Small Business MACC 2017–2022, which generated 16 task orders before sunset. Task order activity under these vehicles drives delivery-order work including the Naval Medical Center San Diego fire alarm upgrade and fire protection upgrades at Naval Base San Diego cited above.

Activity has declined markedly. Awards per year fell from 25 in 2022 to 6 in 2024 and 6 in 2025, with only 2 awards recorded in 2026 (through May 1). Of the 105 total awards in the source data, only 4 awards with combined potential value $3.7 million carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure. The vendor's dollar-to-obligation ratio is tight: $36.2 million obligated of $512.2 million combined potential value reflects 7% capture, with the NAVFAC IDIQ ceiling accounting for the bulk of unobligated potential.

Service Contract Inventory reports minimal federal services-contract volume. SCI captured $346 thousand in invoiced revenue in FY2023 (1.4 FTEs) and zero in FY2024, with the FY2024 SCI record showing 0.1 FTEs distributed across 3 named subcontractor records under unnamed primes. On the single FY2023 prime SCI record, the government-paid hourly rate was $122.30 per hour. The SCI dataset excludes goods and construction labor, so these figures capture only federal services contracts above the $150,000 threshold and do not represent HCI Systems' total federal revenue or workforce; the bulk of the vendor's federal work is construction and installation services (fire protection systems, security systems, low-voltage cabling, building repair) priced as definitive contracts or delivery orders, not SCI-reportable service contracts.

HCI Systems operates as a prime contractor delivering its own installation and maintenance labor with no material subcontractor-hour engagement on prime work; subcontracting is inbound (the vendor performs fire protection and low-voltage systems work as a sub under construction primes). The vendor's capability framing across NAICS distribution reflects fire protection and building construction specialization: Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (37 awards), Electrical Contractors and Wiring Installation (33 awards), and Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (20 awards) dominate the category concentration, with Security Systems Services appearing on 4 awards. Geographic performance clusters around Southern California military and VA medical facilities—San Diego, Long Beach, Los Angeles area, and Fresno Air National Guard Base—with fire protection and life safety systems as the core technical competency.
