VSC Fire & Security, Inc.

VSC Fire & Security, Inc., a veteran-owned Richmond, Virginia-based prime contractor, provides fire protection systems installation, maintenance, and upgrade services to federal facilities and military installations, competing predominantly full-and-open with no set-aside designation and operates with 91% of recent awards as a prime contractor. The company has over sixty years of operational history and maintains a portfolio of named subsidiary brands including Virginia Sprinkler Company Inc., Worsham Sprinkler Company Inc., Virginia Fire Protection, and Arkansas Automatic Sprinklers Inc., anchoring its market presence in fire alarm, sprinkler system, and access control specialization.

VSC's customer footprint is diffuse across forty distinct federal agencies but shows strategic concentration in defense and veteran-serving facilities. The top-five customers by award count account for 29% of recent awards: the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration operates two ranked entities (Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 with 10 awards worth $341 thousand combined potential value and Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 with 5 awards worth $110 thousand), followed by the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Williamsburg (4 awards, $21 thousand), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (3 awards, $19 thousand), and the Department of the Interior National Park Service National Office (3 awards, $27 thousand). The potential-value ranking diverges sharply: the Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command dominates at $49 million combined potential value on just 2 awards, a twenty-five-fold difference from the count-based ranking. This concentration in Navy work is recent and material — a single multi-million-dollar award structure dwarfs the dozens of smaller maintenance and repair orders that characterize the VA and federal prison facilities work.

Recent representative work includes a $180,883 fire alarm workstation upgrade at NASA Langley Research Center (January 2025) covering installation of three ONYXWorks workstations, data migration, and system programming; a $377,883 multi-year access control and CCTV maintenance contract at Fort Sill, Oklahoma exercising Option Year 4 through September 2028 (September 2023 award) for Milestone and Open Options software support on 11 classified storage areas and secure video teleconference suites; a $131,830 preventive maintenance, testing, and inspection services contract for Department of Defense Aviation kitchen facilities (February 2023, completion through January 2027); and multiple fire suppression and alarm system repairs at Federal Correctional Complex Yazoo City in the $16,900 to $19,000 range (March and April 2026). Award activity averaged six per year from 2022 to 2025, with two recompete exposures (combined potential value $140 thousand) completing in the next twenty-four months. VSC operates subsidiaries under the names Virginia Sprinkler Company Inc. and Worsham Sprinkler Company Inc., signaling geographic or operational diversification within the parent structure.

The vendor's sub-award footprint shows recent engagement as a fire protection and sprinkler systems subcontractor to larger primes: Stampede Ventures Inc. on Pentagon Wedge 1 5E Phase 4 Refresh (May 2026, fire sprinkler system modifications to NFPA 13 standards with SCIF penetrations); Pbci-Pks JV LLC on the El Paso Service Processing Center compartmented area buildout (November 2025, fire sprinkler system furnish and install); Harper Construction Company Inc. on the KC-46A 2-Bay PDM Hangar at Tinker Air Force Base (July 2025, fire protection and sprinkler work); Blue Construction Services LLC on Oceana Naval Station Building 820 fire alarm control panel replacement (June 2025); and International Towers LLC on Defense Logistics Agency Richmond Warehouse and related fire sprinkler design-build work (three awards, January 2024). The Service Contract Inventory data, covering service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold, shows minimal prime reporting (zero prime SCI records from FY2022–FY2024) and five subcontractor records totaling 5.4 FTEs in FY2024, reflecting that VSC's larger-dollar work runs through sub-positions on design-build and military construction programs rather than as a standalone service contractor prime. VSC's NAICS concentration centers on specialty trades (33 awards in All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), security systems services (14 awards), and fire protection (12 awards), with PSC strength in fire control equipment maintenance and repair, alarm and security detection systems, and fire control systems installation.
