Life Safety Services LLC

Life Safety Services LLC, doing business as LSS Life Safety Services, a Kentucky-based small business prime contractor (99% of awards), delivers fire protection equipment inspection, repair, and maintenance services to the Department of Veterans Affairs, Indian Health Service, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Social Security Administration across 137 federal awards totaling $5.3 million in combined potential value since 2005. The company is a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, with a parent entity, LSS Holdings LLC, that holds SBA HUBZone certification; Life Safety Services LLC itself competes on full-and-open and small-business set-aside vehicles without a formal SBA designation of its own.

Life Safety Services LLC's capability portfolio centers on fire damper inspection, testing, repair, and decommissioning; fire door inspection, repair, and replacement; firestopping and fireproofing; and emergency fire safety remediation at federal facilities nationwide. Representative prime work includes a $229,030.62 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 (awarded September 2021, completed August 2022) for fire door repairs at a VA facility in Washington, D.C.; a $140,250.05 definitive contract from VA VISN 9 (November 2021) for emergency fire door repair and replacement at a VA medical facility in Nashville, Tennessee; a $41,092.74 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution (September 2025, completion through September 2028) for annual fire door certification and inspection at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City; a $34,950 small-business set-aside definitive contract from the Federal Aviation Administration (March 2024) for firestopping floor and wall penetrations at the Atlanta Air Route Traffic Control Center; and a $19,410.29 delivery order from the Indian Health Service under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (September 2025) for fire door repair at Northern Navajo Medical Center in Shiprock, New Mexico. The company has also executed emergency and routine work across multiple VA regional networks (VISN 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 20, and 23) and Indian Health Service facilities.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward VA regional networks and Indian Health Service. The top five customers by award count — VA VISN 4 (17 awards, $283 thousand combined potential value), Indian Health Service (14 awards, $337 thousand combined potential value), VA VISN 9 (10 awards, $414 thousand combined potential value), VA VISN 20 (8 awards, $619 thousand combined potential value), and VA VISN 8 (8 awards, $72 thousand combined potential value) — account for 42% of all awards. When ranked by potential value, VA VISN 6 leads with 4 awards valued at $668 thousand, followed by VISN 20 ($619 thousand) and VISN 9 ($414 thousand), collectively representing 44% of combined potential value. Activity has contracted substantially in recent years: eight awards in 2022 declining to two in 2026 year-to-date, with only $31 thousand in combined potential value facing recompete in the next twenty-four months.

Life Safety Services LLC holds a position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, where 61 task orders carry $1.6 million in combined potential value, and participates in the Facilities Maintenance and Management vehicle with three task orders valued at $120 thousand. The vendor operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor (135 of 137 awards), with minimal subcontractor engagement: two sub-awards for firestopping work under RQ Construction LLC (fire-protection package at Camp Lejeune, November 2021) and Rq-Wm Jordan JV (Hurricane Florence recovery military construction, December 2023). Service Contract Inventory reporting shows minimal SCI-reportable activity — a single named-subcontractor record in FY2024 with no FTE trajectory — indicating that the majority of Life Safety Services LLC's federal work falls below the $150,000 SCI threshold or is structured as small purchase orders and delivery orders outside SCI's reporting scope. The company's award footprint reflects primary NAICS concentration in Facilities Support Services (74 awards) and Security Systems Services except Locksmiths (8 awards), with PSC codes dominated by fire control equipment inspection and maintenance work.
