VSC Fire & Security, Inc.

VSC Fire & Security, Inc., a veteran-owned Richmond, Virginia-based specialty contractor, delivers fire protection systems installation, maintenance, and repair services to federal facilities as a prime contractor on 91% of its recent awards, competing under no set-aside designations on firm fixed-price purchase orders. The company has over 60 years of operating history and operates through five subsidiary entities including Virginia Sprinkler Company, Inc., Arkansas Automatic Sprinklers, Inc., Worsham Sprinkler Company Inc., and Virginia Fire Protection, positioning it across multiple regional fire suppression and security systems markets.

VSC's capability footprint centers on fire alarm systems (installation, upgrades, panel replacements, and monitoring), fire pump and sprinkler system maintenance and repairs, access control systems (installation and maintenance on classified storage areas and secure facilities), emergency mass notification system upgrades, and security camera and CCTV deployments. Representative prime work includes a $180,883 NASA workstation upgrade for fire alarm systems at Langley Research Center (awarded January 2025), a $394,779 Fort Sill access control maintenance contract with the Army Training and Doctrine Command covering DNA Fusion systems and classified storage area supervision (awarded September 2023), a $117,381 Camp Warlord fire alarm project at Little Rock Air Force Base (awarded September 2024), and multiple fire sprinkler and fire pump repairs at federal correctional facilities and VA medical centers ranging from $5,000 to $48,000 per task. VSC also subcontracts fire protection scope to major defense constructors: it delivered sprinkler system design-build work to Stampede Ventures on Pentagon Wedge 1 5E Phase 4 (May 2025), fire protection systems to Pbci-Pks JV for El Paso Service Processing Center (November 2025), and fire sprinkler systems to International Towers on three separate DLA Richmond warehouse and facility modifications (January 2024).

Customer concentration skews toward Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command, which anchors the top-potential-value ranking with two awards carrying $49 million combined potential value — a material outlier driven by two indefinite delivery contracts (N4008519D9066 and N4008524D0044). By award count, the top five customers account for 30% of awards, led by Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 (10 awards, $341 thousand potential value) and VISN 6 (5 awards, $110 thousand), with the Department of the Interior National Park Service, Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration rounding out the active set. The top-potential-value ranking diverges sharply from award count due to those two Navy IDCs; excluding them, Army Training and Doctrine Command (3 awards, $493 thousand), VA VISN 7 (10 awards, $341 thousand), NASA Shared Services Center (3 awards, $245 thousand), and FAA Headquarters (2 awards, $183 thousand) dominate the smaller-dollar federal work. Award frequency has declined — six awards in 2022, dropping to four in 2026 — with only three awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $528 thousand), creating a limited recompete cliff.

NAICS and PSC concentration reflects fire and security systems specialization. The top three categories are All Other Specialty Trade Contractors (34 awards), Security Systems Services (14 awards), and Fire Protection (12 awards), anchored by PSC codes for fire control equipment maintenance and repair (9 awards) and alarm and security detection system maintenance (6 awards). Service Contract Inventory reporting shows minimal SCI capture — eight records, all as subcontractor engagement, with 0.2 FTEs reported in FY2022, 5.4 FTEs in FY2024, and 2.3 FTEs in FY2025. The SCI dataset reflects VSC's sub-engagement on larger federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold; SCI does not capture VSC's predominant prime revenue stream of smaller purchase orders, goods, or classified work. The combined obligated dollars across all awards total $4.5 million against $51.4 million in combined potential value (9% obligation rate), typical for maintenance and repair contracts with multi-year option structures and indefinite delivery arrangements. VSC competes in full-and-open procurement across civilian and defense agencies, with no small-business set-aside reliance and a federal customer base spanning 40 distinct agencies.
