API Group Life Safety USA LLC

API Group Life Safety USA LLC, doing business as Western States Fire Protection Co, operates as a subcontractor and occasional prime on federal fire protection, fire alarm, and fire suppression repair and maintenance work, primarily for Department of Justice facilities and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The vendor is a limited liability company based in Round Rock, Texas, and a wholly owned subsidiary of API Group, Inc., a broader fire safety and life safety services platform. The vendor competes in full-and-open procurement without set-aside designations.

The vendor's federal work centers on fire suppression system repair and fire alarm maintenance at correctional institutions and federal property management sites. Recent prime work includes a $38.4 thousand purchase order awarded February 6, 2023, by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region to replace fire suppression pump, controller, associated valves, gauges, and piping at a facility in the region (ultimate completion August 1, 2023), and a $9 thousand purchase order from Federal Correctional Institution Herlong for fire alarm repair services (awarded and completed May 5, 2026). The vendor also holds a purchase order from Federal Correctional Institution Bastrop valued at approximately $5 thousand. Customer concentration is highly fragmented: five awards span five distinct customer agencies (Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons at three separate facilities, and Department of Labor Office of Job Corps), with no single agency accounting for more than 72% of potential value (the $38.4 thousand USDA award).

The vendor subcontracts on a modification to a larger fire suppression systems contract primed by Education & Training Resources LLC, exercising option year one (October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025) valued at $8.5 million in obligated operations funding for replacement fire sprinkler system work at Gonzales federal property. The disparity between combined potential value ($53 thousand) and combined obligated dollars ($113 thousand) reflects obligated amounts on the Education & Training Resources subcontract that exceed the original ceiling.

Activity is sparse: one award in 1996, one in 2013, one in 2023, one in 2024, and one in 2026. Service Contract Inventory captured 0.3 FTEs on a single SCI subcontractor record in FY2022, indicating minimal scale in federal service-contract reporting. The vendor's primary federal role is reactive, site-specific facility maintenance and repair rather than blanket contracts or recurring service vehicles.
