Suppression Systems, Inc.

Suppression Systems, Inc., a small-business prime contractor based in Fife, Washington, specializes in fire suppression system testing, inspection, certification, and maintenance services for federal naval and maritime facilities, with 92 of 94 recent awards (98%) as a prime. The vendor competes predominately full-and-open rather than under set-asides, despite holding small-business status; of the recent award sample, roughly half carry total small business set-aside designations, but the vendor does not hold or pursue certifications in categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB.

Suppression Systems' customer concentration is heavily tilted to naval operations. The Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for 46 awards (71% of the award count in the portfolio) with $749 thousand combined potential value; when the Navy's other subdivisions (Strategic Systems Programs and the broader Department of the Navy) are combined, naval customers anchor roughly 54 awards and $799 thousand in potential value across the recent award portfolio. The Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard accounts for 9 awards ($99 thousand combined potential value), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for 4 awards ($133 thousand potential value). A single award from the Department of Energy Bonneville Power Administration carries $1.4 million potential value, reflecting an outlier project rather than recurring customer concentration. The vendor has worked with 23 distinct federal agencies across the portfolio, but the top five fund 81% of combined potential value.

Suppression Systems holds two single-award IDCs with Naval Sea Systems Command: a $39 thousand contract (awarded March 2022, running through March 2027) for semi-annual confidence testing and certification of CO2 fire suppression systems, and a $28.5 thousand contract (awarded July 2024, running through July 2029) for fire system field service. Representative recent prime work includes a $92.6 thousand total small business purchase order (February 2022) for Fenwal NET8000 addressable fire alarm system programming and commissioning on the APL-39 vessel; a $21 thousand total small business purchase order (December 2022) for fire suppression service and maintenance at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island; and a $10.78 thousand purchase order (May 2025) for Fenwal 6000 fire alarm system and H2S gas detection system test and inspection on COMPACFLT berthing barges at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. Work spans testing and inspection of Fenwal fire alarm systems, CO2 cylinder hydrotesting, fire suppression system commissioning, and maintenance across naval shipyards and vessels in the Puget Sound region and Tacoma, Washington.

The vendor's award portfolio reflects episodic, small-dollar work typical of facilities maintenance contracting. Activity declined from seven awards in 2022 to two in 2023, recovered to seven in 2024, then dropped to three in 2025 and one in 2026. Two awards (combined potential value $24 thousand) carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure. Suppression Systems subcontracts minimally; the award portfolio names only two sub-awards, both as a subcontractor to Serco Inc. (January 2024) and Doyon Management Services LLC (September 2022) on fire suppression system work. Top NAICS codes are 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance) with 26 awards and 541380 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors) with 17 awards. Top PSC codes reflect the tactical focus: PSC F007 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Fire Fighting and Safety Equipment) with 18 awards, and PSC F006 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Fire Control Equipment) with 14 awards.
