Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, LLC

Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, LLC, doing business as Dabo Fire Protection, Inc., is a self-certified small disadvantaged business providing fire protection inspection, maintenance, and emergency repair services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on 61 of 65 recent awards (94%). The company is headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, and operates through eight named subsidiaries including Marquee Fire Protection, Life Safety Designs, Koetter Fire Protection of Austin, and Keystone Fire Protection, positioning the parent as a consolidated operator of regional fire-protection assets. Pye-Barker competes predominantly full-and-open rather than under set-aside vehicles; roughly 30% of recent prime awards carry small-business set-aside designations (Total Small Business or no set-aside), while the balance are full-and-open competitive awards.

Pye-Barker's federal work centers on fire-system inspection, testing, maintenance, and emergency repair at civilian and defense facilities. Representative prime work includes a $400,008.75 definitive contract with Air Mobility Command for fire extinguisher maintenance at the 22nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas, running through March 2029; a $177,762 purchase order from the Bureau of Indian Education for fire prevention services at the Flandreau, South Dakota facility (July 2025–June 2030); a $127,500 definitive contract with the Defense Health Agency for fire alarm system maintenance, inspection, and upgrades at Moncrief Army Health Clinic, Fort Jackson, South Carolina, with a recent modification extending services through December 2026; and $89,124.36 in fire life-and-safety annual inspections for FEMA Region 10's Federal Regional Center in Bothell, Washington (June 2026–June 2029). The portfolio also includes a $75,000 single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Department of the Army for ALTESS fire suppression and fire extinguisher maintenance at Petersburg, Virginia, and a $200,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement with Air Force Materiel Command for hydrostatic testing and requalification of compressed-gas cylinders at Hill Air Force Base through September 2029. Work spans fire alarm inspections, sprinkler-system testing, fire-extinguisher maintenance and certification, backflow-preventer replacement, emergency repairs of suppression systems, ventilation-hood repair, and 24-hour monitoring services for intrusion detection. The NAICS footprint is dominated by Security Systems Services (16 awards), followed by Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance (7 awards) and Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (6 awards); the PSC profile centers on Fire Control Equipment maintenance and repair (11 awards) and Fire Protection housekeeping services (6 awards).

Customer concentration sits with the Department of Homeland Security (Coast Guard, 15 awards, $113 thousand combined potential value), the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons facilities (Federal Correctional Complex Coleman and Butner combined, 11 awards, $244 thousand), and the Department of the Army (5 awards, $262 thousand). By potential-value ranking, the top five customers account for 60% of combined potential value: Air Mobility Command leads at $595 thousand (two awards), followed by the Bureau of Indian Education at $345 thousand (three awards), the Army at $262 thousand, Bureau of Prisons Butner at $154 thousand, and the Air National Guard at $139 thousand. The two rankings diverge markedly — Coast Guard places the most orders but anchors relatively small individual values, whereas Air Mobility Command and the Bureau of Indian Education anchor most of the dollars with fewer awards. Across all 23 distinct customer agencies served, the company has delivered $2.5 million in combined potential value and obligated $2.2 million (90% obligation rate).

Activity has remained steady to declining: 6 awards in 2022, 8 in 2023, peaked at 14 in 2024, then moderated to 12 in 2025 and 9 in 2026 year-to-date. Six awards carrying $331 thousand in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete exposure in that window. Parent vehicles visible in the portfolio include an Indefinite Delivery Contract (15B10620D00000156) generating 4 task orders valued at $56 thousand and another IDC (W91QF525DA007) generating 2 task orders valued at $103 thousand; these are agency-specific IDCs rather than government-wide vehicles.

In its subcontractor role, Pye-Barker has performed fire alarm, sprinkler repair, and fire-extinguisher inspection services for Management & Training Corporation on Clearfield Job Corps Center operations (effective November 2025–October 2026), fire-protection installation work for Dawson Enterprises on a repair-and-renovation project at Building 1102, AFCENT headquarters, and nurse-call system installation for Copper Creek LLC and electronic-security-system work for an unnamed prime. The SCI dataset reports minimal invoiced activity — 6 SCI records across fiscal years 2022–2025, all as named subcontractor on the reports of larger primes, with roughly 0.1 FTE per fiscal year in the service-contract inventory. This low SCI footprint reflects Pye-Barker's operating model: the vendor delivers most of its federal work through standalone purchase orders and smaller IDCs rather than large prime contracts above the SCI reporting threshold ($150,000), and subcontracts a negligible share of its service work to other vendors.

The vendor's recent award footprint shows concentration in facility maintenance and emergency repair rather than large systems-integration or managed-services programs. Dollar magnitudes are typically in the $5,000–$100,000 range per purchase order, with the two largest definitives (Air Mobility Command and Defense Health Agency) anchoring approximately $528 thousand of the $2.5 million portfolio total. This pricing and contract-size profile — high volume of small-to-mid-size orders to correctional facilities, military bases, and federal installations — positions Pye-Barker as a regional, facilities-focused fire-safety contractor rather than a prime on government-wide vehicle platforms or large-value program integrations.
