Midwest Alarm Company, Inc.

Midwest Alarm Company, Inc. BCI Integrated Solutions Division is a minority-owned, woman-owned, and Black American-owned small business based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota that manufactures and installs integrated security, access control, fire alarm, and life safety systems for federal facilities, operating as a prime contractor exclusively (100% of recent awards) across full-and-open competition without set-aside designation on the majority of work, though some awards carry total small business set-asides.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on access control software licensing and maintenance (particularly Honeywell ProWatch entry control systems), intruder detection systems, video surveillance and video intercom systems, fire alarm system replacement and upgrades, cipher lock installation, and annual fire alarm inspection services. Representative work includes a $75,015.54 firm-fixed-price purchase order from the Department of the Army Joint Munitions Command in September 2022 for ProWatch access control installation and configuration across Buildings 218 and 219; a $41,790.43 award from the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service in August 2021 to replace and upgrade a fire alarm system with addressable devices and expand coverage to two additional outbuildings at a field research facility in Brookings, South Dakota; and a $34,358 total-small-business purchase order from the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service in January 2024 for intruder detection, video surveillance system, and installation services at the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge.

Customer concentration is shallow across the vendor's footprint. The top five funding organizations account for 48% of awards by count and 74% of combined potential value. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command leads both rankings (6 awards, $180 thousand combined potential value), anchoring the vendor's recurring ProWatch software update and maintenance work. The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service, the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service, the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the Department of the Air Force round out the top five by value. The vendor has served 15 distinct customer agencies across fifty-two prime awards spanning from 2003 to February 2026. Recent awards cluster in security systems services and alarm-detection maintenance and installation (NAICS 561621 Security Systems Services, PSC 6650 Miscellaneous Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems), accounting for 35 of the vendor's 52 awards.

Activity has remained modest and flat — two awards in 2021, three in 2022, two in 2023, three in 2024, and one in 2026 — with only one award (combined potential value $29 thousand) facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The source does not report parent vehicles or IDV positions. The vendor's total combined potential value across all fifty-two prime awards is $525 thousand, though combined dollars obligated across those awards reached $899 thousand (171% of potential value), reflecting invoice patterns where actual performance exceeded contract ceilings. SCI-reported federal service-contract data shows only two subcontractor records across FY2024 with 7.6 FTEs delivered; the source does not provide SCI invoicing, hourly rates, or service-contract-specific characterization for prime federal contracts, which dominate the vendor's footprint. The vendor does not operate through parent vehicles or maintain teaming relationships documented in the source; it delivers its own labor and materials directly to agencies as a prime contractor.
