Jerome Fire Equipment Co., Inc.

Jerome Fire Equipment Co., Inc., operating as Jerome Fire Equipment Co Inc., is a small business based in Clay, New York, that supplies fire safety equipment, conducts fire suppression system inspections, and provides fire equipment maintenance and repair services to federal agencies, predominantly as a prime contractor on small-business-set-aside and unrestricted purchase orders. The vendor competes across a mix of set-aside categories (Total Small Business on roughly half its awards) and full-and-open procurements, with no dominant set-aside designation beyond small business itself.

The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily on Veterans Affairs facilities and Army installations in the Northeast. Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 (VISN 2) anchors the footprint with six awards ($166 thousand combined potential value) covering hood fire suppression system inspections at Bath VA Medical Center, fire truck repair and maintenance, and air compressor system procurement. The Department of the Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region places five awards ($29 thousand), and the Air National Guard places three awards ($26 thousand) for fire extinguisher refills and airfield fire extinguisher services. The top three customer agencies account for 81% of award count and 92% of combined potential value. Recent representative work includes a $118.6 thousand Total Small Business purchase order from VISN 2 (August 2025) for a Bauer UNICUS 4/S25H-E3 air compressor system with delivery, installation, testing, and personnel training for Bath VA Medical Center Fire Department; a $16.8 thousand firm-fixed-price purchase order from VISN 2 (November 2025) for fire truck repair and maintenance at a Canandaigua facility; and a $10.3 thousand firm-fixed-price purchase order from VISN 2 (October 2026) for semi-annual hood fire suppression system inspections under NFPA 17A and NFPA 96 standards, extending through September 2031.

Activity has remained low and sporadic — two awards in 2022, two in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and two year-to-date in 2026 — with a combined potential value across all recent awards of $265 thousand but combined obligated dollars of $830 thousand, indicating substantial contract execution relative to ceiling values. Jerome Fire Equipment subcontracts minimally; one sub award (5% of total) appears under Fluor Marine Propulsion for breathing air compressors supporting the Naval Nuclear Laboratory and Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. The vendor's primary NAICS footprint spans Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance, Service Establishment Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers, and Specialty Trade Contracting, with PSC concentration in Fire Fighting Equipment, Maintenance and Repair of Fire Control Equipment, and Compressor and Vacuum Pump equipment.
