Kingfisher Co., Inc.

Kingfisher Co., Inc., doing business as King Fisher Co., manufactures fire alarm control units, intelligent fire alarm receivers, wireless pull stations, and related emergency communication equipment for the Department of Defense and federal civilian agencies, operating as a prime contractor on 99% of its recent federal awards. The Lowell, Massachusetts–based for-profit Subchapter S corporation competes predominantly full-and-open and does not carry SBA set-aside certifications, though roughly 30% of individual purchase orders and delivery orders are designated total small business set-asides.

Kingfisher's federal footprint spans 629 recent awards totaling $47.1 million in combined potential value, with the dominant capability concentrated in fire alarm systems and emergency communication technologies. Representative prime work includes a $478.4 million purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command for portable pedestals of a fire alarm system (awarded September 2021), a $367.2 million definitive contract from Navy Installations Command for receiver upgrades at Naval Base Atsugi, Japan (awarded September 2021), and a $330.8 million firm fixed-price contract from the Department of Veterans Affairs for Kingfisher wireless emergency communication system upgrades at Togus Medical Center in Maine (awarded June 2022). More recent awards illustrate the vendor's ongoing Navy work: a $132.4 thousand purchase order for an intelligent fire alarm control unit from Naval Sea Systems Command (September 2025), a $125.2 thousand purchase order for fire alarm preventative maintenance in Japan from Naval Sea Systems Command (March 2026), and a $94.2 thousand delivery order from the U.S. Coast Guard for fire and security radio receivers under Kingfisher's GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (September 2025).

Customer concentration tilts heavily toward the Department of the Navy and its sub-commands. The top five customers by award count account for 51% of awards and include the Department of the Navy (127 awards), Department of the Army (61 awards), Navy Installations Command (50 awards), Naval Sea Systems Command (45 awards), and Naval Facilities Engineering Command (39 awards). However, the top five customers by potential value account for 95% of combined potential value and are dominated by the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (4 awards, $38.1 million), with Naval Sea Systems Command placing second ($3.6 million across 45 awards). The divergence signals that Kingfisher holds a high-ceiling GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract that carries most of the firm's dollar value while placement volume concentrates in smaller Navy purchase orders.

Kingfisher's primary vehicle is the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), through which the vendor manages 279 task orders under a Law Enforcement & Security Services parent vehicle carrying $3.7 million in combined potential value. The vendor also operates under Federal Supply Schedule GS07F3161A (13 task orders) and maintains placement under an Indefinite Delivery Contract (DACA6782C0006) with 5 task orders. The $22.7 million GSA MAS contract ceiling enables task orders across Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Naval Sea Systems Command, and Department of the Army facilities domestically and overseas, particularly in Japan.

Activity has declined year over year — 16 awards in 2022 down to 1 award in 2026 to date — reflecting either a consolidation in Kingfisher's federal footprint or a shift in how the vendor's GSA MAS work is captured in the source data. Recompete exposure is minimal: only 1 award (combined potential value $125 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.

Kingfisher subcontracts to Vectrus Systems LLC on Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) V support services in Kuwait and Army Base Life Support Services in ARCENT, and to KBR Diego Garcia, LLC on fire alarm technical representative services for TACAN facility repairs at Diego Garcia. These sub-awards represent a small footprint — only 1% of the vendor's total recent awards — with the vendor operating overwhelmingly as a prime contractor selling proprietary fire alarm systems and installation services to Navy and joint-service installations worldwide.
