Sunbelt Fire Inc.

Sunbelt Fire Inc., a small-business firefighting equipment vendor based in Fairhope, Alabama, supplies and services self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) systems, high-pressure air compressors, fire truck components, and related respiratory protection equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively—the company has no subcontract footprint and operates entirely on its own contracts, with no vehicle positions on government-wide acquisition contracts or blanket purchase agreements.

Sunbelt Fire's capability portfolio centers on specialized firefighting and emergency response equipment procurement, maintenance, and testing. Recent representative work includes a $145,104 sole-source purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center (June 2025) for 16 MSA G1 SCBA units with 4500 PSI threaded systems, harnesses, regulators, speaker modules, and charging station kits delivered to NASA Stennis Space Center; a $163,048.57 total small business set-aside purchase order from the Army Training and Doctrine Command (September 2023) for a trailer-mounted 6,000 PSI compressor; a $75,186.25 total small business set-aside from Air Education and Training Command (September 2025) for a breathing air workstation; and a $59,617 firm fixed-price definitive contract from the Department of Defense Southeast Region (March 2026) for SCBA air testing, compressor system servicing, and hydrostatic testing on air bottles, running through February 2031. Additional work includes fire truck components—a steering axle for Air Force Special Operations Command ($88,822.45, June 2022, total small business set-aside) and electrical troubleshooting on a fire truck for the Air Force ($5,422, September 2025, no set-aside)—and routine SCBA maintenance for the U.S. Coast Guard ($2,484, August 2025).

Customer concentration is diffuse across 19 federal agencies over the source period. The Army Training and Doctrine Command and NASA Shared Services Center each anchor $199 thousand in combined potential value across two awards; the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal contributes $163 thousand on a single award; and the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region carries $153 thousand across three awards. The top five customer groupings by potential value account for 65% of the combined portfolio. By award count, the Navy Installations Command, the Army, Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command, Mississippi Army National Guard, and Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region each hold four awards or more, but these reflect small-dollar equipment and maintenance calls rather than sustained prime relationships. The portfolio shows no alignment with government-wide vehicles; all work flows through direct agency procurements.

Activity has been sparse and episodic. Over the past five years (2019–2026), Sunbelt Fire has received four awards in 2025 and one in 2026, with gaps in 2020–2021, 2024, and 2025 itself. Combined potential value across all 46 awards since 1993 is $1.3 million, with obligated amounts of $1.4 million. The company competes in mixed set-aside posture—about half its recent work falls under total small business set-asides, and the remainder under full-and-open or sole-source authorities. The vendor's primary procurement classification reflects firefighting equipment supply and maintenance: 11 awards map to the Fire Fighting Equipment PSC; five to compressors and vacuum pumps; and the remainder to related service establishment equipment and automotive repair. The March 2026 Army Southeast Region contract, running through February 2031, represents the largest dollar commitment in the visible footprint.
