Southeast Extinguisher Service, Inc.

Southeast Extinguisher Service, Inc. (doing business as Southeast Extinguisher Service Inc.), a self-certified small disadvantaged business and Subchapter S corporation based in Juneau, Alaska, provides fire protection and safety services to federal agencies in Alaska, competing exclusively as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and competing full-and-open. The company holds two active indefinite-delivery contracts (IDCs) with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Alaska Region and executes recurring purchase orders from the U.S. Coast Guard across vessel and facility fire suppression systems, fire alarm inspection, and related safety equipment maintenance at remote Southeast Alaskan locations.

Customer concentration is heavily tilted toward two agencies. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R10-Alaska Region holds 11 awards worth $497 thousand combined potential value, while the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard holds 36 awards worth $200 thousand combined potential value together accounting for approximately 91% of award count and 98% of combined potential value. The Coast Guard dominates by count but Forest Service dominates by dollar value. NOAA and GSA contribute one award each, with negligible value contribution.

Southeast Extinguisher Service holds a five-year single-award IDC (1240BF26D0005) with USDA Forest Service established May 15, 2026, ceiling $142,024, for fire extinguisher maintenance, inspection, testing, certification, recharge, refilling, replacement, and disposal services covering 539 fire extinguishers across nine Tongass National Forest locations (Hoonah, Craig, Juneau, Ketchikan, Petersburg, Sitka, Thorne Bay, Wrangell, and Yakutat) with a base period running May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027 plus four one-year option periods through April 30, 2031. On May 15, 2026, a $23,107 firm fixed-price delivery order for base period work was issued under this vehicle, due April 30, 2027. The company also holds a four-year single-award IDC (1240BF23D0020) with USDA Forest Service established September 30, 2023, ceiling $83,005, for fire alarm inspection, testing, certification, maintenance, repair, and remote monitoring services at multiple Tongass National Forest facilities across the region through April 30, 2027, under which six task orders have been placed ($96 thousand combined potential value). Representative delivery orders under this vehicle include a $20,526 firm fixed-price task order issued May 1, 2026 for option period three services at Juneau through April 30, 2027, an $18,450 over-and-above work task order issued March 1, 2026 for fire alarm control panel replacement at Tongass National Forest facilities completed April 30, 2026, and a $17,768 option period two task order issued May 1, 2025 with a modification for remote monitoring services at additional Craig locations.

The Coast Guard awards span purchase orders for vessel and facility fire suppression system maintenance, fire alarm inspections, and emergency repairs. Representative awards include a $24,000 total small business set-aside purchase order issued September 16, 2024 for Air Station Sitka fire inspection and repair (ultimate completion June 1, 2025), a $15,005 total small business set-aside for Base Ketchikan galley range hood repairs (September 25, 2023, ultimate completion October 24, 2023), a $3,347 total small business set-aside for FM-200 fire suppression system inspections and galley hood testing on USCGC BAILEY BARCO (January 9, 2026, ultimate completion February 20, 2026), and a $13,701 non-set-aside purchase order for replacement of a Gaylord hood controller at Ketchikan (April 21, 2026, ultimate completion May 1, 2026).

Activity has grown modestly, rising from two awards in 2022 to a peak of ten awards in 2024, with seven awards in 2026 year-to-date. Only two awards with combined potential value of $44 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The contractor's service footprint spans ship and marine equipment maintenance (14 awards), security systems services and fire alarm work (10 awards each), and fire protection services (10 awards), with work performed almost entirely in remote Southeast Alaska locations plus occasional performance at Coast Guard facilities in Chesapeake, Virginia. The company has maintained continuous SAM.gov registration since January 2006 and holds Service Contract Labor Standards wage determinations, with a Fire Extinguisher Repairer rate of $30.86 per hour plus fringe benefits.
