Life Safety Group, LLC

Life Safety Group, LLC, doing business as Mark Manevich, operates as a small-business prime contractor providing parking facility leases, infrastructure maintenance, asphalt repair and sealing, facility construction and upgrades, fire safety services, and HVAC equipment to federal agencies on a predominantly full-and-open competitive basis with material exposure to total small business set-asides.

The vendor competes as a 100% prime across 324 federal awards spanning the past five years with no subcontractor footprint. Concrete capability areas center on parking space leasing and management (150 awards across NAICS 812930 and PSC L100), roadwork and asphalt repair (35 awards for highway and street construction, 50 awards for specialty trades), facility maintenance and improvements including fire alarm service, HVAC replacement, door and gate repair, and facility painting. Representative examples include a $2.7 million parking lease and maintenance contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs for 1,145 structured and surface parking spaces near the Baltimore VA Medical Center (July 2024, non-set-aside); a $999,119 total small business set-aside delivery order from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for roadwork at Clinton and Melvern Lake Projects in Kansas (June 2025); a $413,668.75 total small business set-aside contract for seal coating, crack sealing, and re-striping at the Springfield Air National Guard Base in Ohio (September 2022); and a $95,500 single-award blanket purchase agreement with Naval Sea Systems Command for automatic door repairs (renewed through February 2031).

Customer concentration is moderate and skewed toward parking services and infrastructure work. The top five funding agencies by count account for 35 percent of recent awards: Naval Sea Systems Command leads in award volume (36 awards, $236 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Northeast Regional Office (22 awards, $3.6 million), the Marine Corps (20 awards, $1.8 million), the Metropolitan Detention Center Los Angeles (19 awards, $5.4 million), and the Army Corps of Engineers (18 awards, $29.2 million). By dollars, the Army Corps dominates, carrying 31 percent of combined potential value; the VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 accounts for 8.6 percent ($8.1 million across 9 awards, heavily parking-focused); Air Mobility Command accounts for 8.2 percent ($7.7 million across 10 awards). Dollars and counts track closely except that the Navy's high-volume, low-dollar BPA work (34 task orders valued at $137 thousand total) masks the Army Corps' concentrated dollar exposure.

Life Safety Group holds six named parent vehicles. The $95.5 thousand Naval Sea Systems Command blanket purchase agreement for automatic door repairs anchors 34 task orders over five years. The Army Corps of Engineers' $20 million indefinite delivery contract for roadwork in the Kansas City District (base period through September 2026, two 1-year option periods) has generated delivery orders including the $999,119 Tuttle Creek order. The Bureau of Land Management's $5 million single-award blanket purchase agreement for hotmix asphalt concrete and tack coat services in Oregon (through January 2028) supports recurring asphalt operations. A $5 million multiple-award BPA with the Army Corps for landscaping services at Rathbun Lake and Longbranch Lake (April 2027) and a $250 thousand multiple-award U.S. Forest Service Region 9 roads BPA (March 2032) round out major IDVs. Two recent IDV awards demonstrate expanding scope: a $7.5 million Army Reserve short-term lodging BPA (December 2025) and a $2.5 million Air Mobility Command off-base lodging BPA (December 2025), marking entry into hospitality services outside the historical infrastructure and parking core.

Activity has been stable but is currently declining. Awards per year tracked at 30 in 2022, 28 in 2023, 18 in 2024, 26 in 2025, and 8 through mid-2026 year-to-date, suggesting a mid-cycle modulation rather than sustained growth. Ten awards totaling $5 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete pressure primarily on existing Army Corps, Marine Corps, and Bureau of Prisons relationships.

Approximately 40 percent of Life Safety Group's federal contract portfolio carries total small business set-aside designation, with the remainder awarded full-and-open. Set-aside penetration is material but not dominant, indicating the vendor wins regularly in unrestricted competitions.

Service Contract Inventory data covers only 13 records above the $150,000 reporting threshold across fiscal years 2022 through 2024 and represents a partial view of the vendor's federal services activity. SCI-reported invoiced amounts totaled $4.4 million ($2.4 million in FY2022, $1.3 million in FY2023, $812 thousand in FY2024). Derived from invoiced dollars and contractor hours, government-paid rates span a wide spectrum from a 10th percentile of $91.41 per hour (parking lease labor) through a median of $687.50 per hour to a 90th percentile of $4,227.27 per hour (facility management oversight roles), reflecting a mix of low-touch lease fulfillment and labor-intensive project management. The vendor reported 1.0 FTE in FY2022, 0.1 FTE in FY2023, and 2.6 FTEs in FY2024, with all work self-performed and zero subcontractor engagement across SCI-reportable contracts. This FTE volatility mirrors the episodic nature of large parking contracts that are awarded in discrete years and then generate recurring lease and maintenance hours over multi-year performance periods rather than steady-state employment.

Life Safety Group is headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, and has maintained active System for Award Management registration since 2009. The vendor operates as a small for-profit corporation and competes under its own name and the Mark Manevich trade designation. Federal work is concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions, with material footprint in the Carolinas, Appalachia, and the Great Plains. The vendor's portfolio reflects tactical responsiveness to federal facilities maintenance and infrastructure procurement rather than specialized sector capture — parking services anchor the volume, but the vendor pursues small business set-aside work opportunistically across fire safety, HVAC, asphalt, fencing, hazard tree assessment, and miscellaneous commercial goods when set-asides align with its operational capacity.
