Media Plumbing & Heating Inc.

Media Plumbing & Heating Inc., doing business as Kinetix, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business headquartered in Broomall, Pennsylvania, that delivers fire protection, fire alarm, and life safety system services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across defense and civilian sectors. The vendor operates almost exclusively as a prime (100% of 1,286 awards), with a $414.4 million combined potential value across a highly diverse federal customer base spanning 99 agencies, anchored by recurring delivery orders under GSA Multiple Award Schedule and Navy indefinite delivery vehicles.

Kinetix's capability portfolio centers on installation, inspection, testing, maintenance, and repair of fire alarm systems, fire sprinkler systems, fire suppression equipment, and related life safety infrastructure. Representative work spans fire alarm panel replacements and system diagnostics (e.g., $1.37 million GSA National Capital Region delivery order for fire alarm preventive maintenance at the Ronald Reagan Building through May 2026); sprinkler system repairs and hydrant testing (e.g., $2.07 million Army Northeast Region delivery order for fire alarm and sprinkler inspection, maintenance, and repair at Aberdeen Proving Ground, ultimate completion October 2026); fire suppression system maintenance (e.g., $962,106 Marine Corps delivery order for fire protection services at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina); and routine facility fire safety compliance work at federal installations nationwide. The vendor also holds contracts for kitchen suppression system testing, fire extinguisher inspection and replacement (e.g., $172,461 Army Communications Electronics Command award for depot-wide fire extinguisher services at Tobyhanna through July 2029), and emergency repairs (e.g., $1.04 million Office of the Secretary delivery order for fire alarm maintenance and support services through January 2031).

On the GSA Schedule, Kinetix maintains a single labor category—Labor Assistant for fire alarm and sprinkler system services—priced at $120.62 per hour with a high school education baseline and two years' experience required; the $56.2 million Federal Supply Schedule contract (ultimate completion August 2028) anchors significant delivery order activity across federal agencies. SCI-reportable invoicing totaled $7 million across FY2022–FY2024 (prime records), with FY2024 showing $2.4 million across 7.0 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on federal service contracts span a median of $245.44/hr, ranging from a 10th percentile of $98.92/hr to a 90th percentile of $775.78/hr, reflecting mixed labor deployment from technicians to supervisory roles. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 25% of total contractor hours, with 37 named subcontractors recorded in the dataset; the vendor has subcontracted to primes Huang's Inc., Structural Engineering Group Inc., and Trademasters Service, Inc. on fire alarm programming and fire protection work.

Customer concentration is moderate and distributed across the Navy (Naval Facilities Engineering Command 109 awards, $40 million potential value; Navy Installations Command 123 awards, $30.4 million), GSA National Capital Region (203 awards, $35.2 million), Army Northeast Region (34 awards, $26.2 million), and Marine Corps (35 awards, $11.5 million). These five customers account for approximately 35% of combined potential value. Kinetix's parent vehicle activity is heavily weighted to the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (346 task orders, $80.6 million), supplemented by Navy indefinite delivery contracts (N4008509D7019 with 104 task orders and $5.9 million potential value; N4008514D8102 with 65 task orders and $5.9 million), and single-award IDCs with the Army Northeast Region ($12.9 million ceiling for fire alarm and sprinkler services at Aberdeen), Naval Facilities Engineering Command ($3.8 million ceiling for Naval Support Activity Philadelphia through January 2030), and Marine Corps ($7.1 million ceiling for fire and life safety services through May 2029). The vendor holds a strong posture on set-aside vehicles, competing predominantly under Total Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business designations across its prime portfolio.

Award activity was steady at 63–81 awards annually across 2022–2025, with 16 awards recorded through mid-July 2026. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months stands at 31 awards with combined potential value of $13.4 million. The vendor's NAICS profile is dominated by Security Systems Services (818 awards), Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (116), Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (106), and Facilities Support Services (71). Kinetix's federal footprint reflects specialization in recurring, mission-critical fire life safety infrastructure maintenance across military installations, federal office buildings, and civilian agency facilities, with a consistent delivery model combining small, task-order-driven work under larger IDV and Schedule vehicles alongside selective larger facility-wide or installation-level contracts.
