About the company
LN Curtis & Sons, operating through its Corporate HQ and Government Sales Division as Curtis, is a for-profit small business manufacturer and distributor of firefighting, emergency response, and tactical equipment that operates predominantly as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) to federal agencies under Total Small Business set-asides and full-and-open vehicles. Headquartered in Walnut Creek, California, the company supplies structural firefighting turnouts, breathing apparatus systems, fire suppression equipment, hydraulic extrication tools, decontamination systems, and related personal protective equipment across NAICS 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing) and primary PSC 4210 (Fire Fighting Equipment), with an estimated annual sales volume of $230 million.
Curtis's federal footprint is overwhelmingly concentrated at a single customer: the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment division accounts for 4,618 awards (69% of the active portfolio) with $25.66 billion in combined potential value, dwarfing all other federal agencies. The next-largest customers—the Department of the Navy Installations Command, United States Marine Corps, and the Department of the Air Force—collectively represent less than 2% of the dollar value. This extreme concentration around DLA Construction and Equipment reflects Curtis's anchoring position on two massive Indefinite Delivery Vehicles: the 6th Generation Fire and Emergency Services Equipment Tailored Logistics Support Program (also known as Fire & Emergency Services Equipment Tailored Logistics Support Program), with two separate awards—one $7 billion single-award Total Small Business set-aside IDV running through March 2034 and a newer $7 billion Total Small Business set-aside IDV awarded October 10, 2025, running through March 2068. These two vehicles alone account for 2,101 and 539 task orders respectively, generating $94 million and $43.4 million in combined potential value and serving as the operational spine of the company's federal contracting presence.
Recent representative delivery orders illustrate Curtis's concrete capability delivery: a $640.5 million call on the 6th Generation program for emergency preparedness equipment (April 2026), a $362.7 thousand delivery order for compliant bags (July 2026), a $253.3 thousand order for Globe G-Xtreme 3.0 coats with Gore-Tex (June 2026), and smaller calls for specialized components including SCBA cylinders, fire hoses, and decontamination equipment. Curtis also holds a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) position (two separate Federal Supply Schedules, GS07F0043L and a second contract vehicle) that has generated 1,786 task orders worth $58.1 million in combined potential value, placing it second in the vehicle hierarchy. Delivery orders under the MAS vehicle span full-and-open competitive procurements for extrication tools ($32.9 thousand to Air Combat Command, April 2026) and specialty clothing ($30.7 thousand to Air Force Global Strike Command, October 2025). Curtis also holds a single-award BPA with the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Alaska Region, awarded March 24, 2026, valued at $1 million through March 31, 2031, for replacement and repair parts for MARK-3 high-pressure pumps used in wildland fire suppression.
Activity volume has declined notably year-on-year: 492 awards in 2022, 502 in 2023, 343 in 2024, 335 in 2025, and only 146 awards through mid-September 2026 (a 56% drop annualized). This trajectory suggests either a compression of award frequency (fewer, larger orders) or genuine contraction in utilization. Within the next twenty-four months, 51 awards (combined potential value $6.2 million) reach ultimate completion and face recompete exposure—a modest cliff relative to the overall portfolio size but concentrated on smaller, tactical equipment calls rather than the core DLA IDV work.
Curtis's subcontractor footprint is negligible: only 12 sub-awards (0.14% of the portfolio) appear in the source, both under V2X Systems LLC as prime on LOGCAP V work in Poland and at Kwajalein. Curtis operates almost exclusively as a prime.
The corporate structure includes named subsidiaries Ecms, Inc. and Firefighters Bookstore, Inc., though the source provides no detail on whether these entities hold separate contracting authority or serve as operating divisions. The vendor's federal award record spans from 1981 forward, indicating longevity in the marketplace, but the current 2026 year-to-date activity (146 awards in roughly nine months) signals either a methodology change in award data capture or genuine slowdown in DLA procurement velocity post-IDV award. Curtis's customer concentration on DLA Construction and Equipment—particularly the dominance of the two 6th Generation IDV vehicles accounting for the vast majority of potential value—creates substantial recompete risk if those IDVs are subject to future competitive recompete or if ordering behavior shifts to other vehicles. The company's role as the designated small business supplier for firefighting and emergency response equipment under Total Small Business set-asides provides structural protection against full-and-open competition at DLA, but the multi-billion-dollar IDV ceiling masks the true dynamic risk: task orders are individual call-outs, and Curtis must win each call separately within the vehicle framework, making cumulative volume highly sensitive to DLA spending priority changes or customer agency consolidation.
