API Group Life Safety USA LLC

API Group Life Safety USA LLC, doing business as Western States Fire Protection Company, is a for-profit limited liability company based in El Paso, Texas, that provides fire protection and life safety system services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor on small purchase orders. The company operates without any SBA set-aside designation and competes full-and-open across a narrow customer base concentrated on two federal agencies.

Western States Fire Protection Company's service portfolio centers on installation, inspection, testing, maintenance, and repair of fire suppression systems, fire alarm systems, fire control equipment, electric fire pumps, backflow prevention systems, emergency lighting, and portable fire extinguishers at federal facilities in the western United States. Recent representative work includes a $16,318 purchase order from the U.S. Coast Guard (awarded August 17, 2026) for replacement of a fire suppression system at the Houston-Galveston Sector facility in Harlingen, Texas; an $8,783 purchase order from the Drug Enforcement Administration (awarded October 1, 2023) for maintenance of fire sprinkler systems, electric fire pumps, backflow prevention systems, emergency lighting systems, and portable fire extinguishers at a facility in Greenwood Village, Colorado; and a $10,000 purchase order from the Department of the Interior's Intermountain Region (awarded March 19, 2025) for CHAM LE DELUGE fire suppression system service agreement maintenance.

Customer concentration is acute and static. The Drug Enforcement Administration accounts for 11 awards and $51 thousand in combined potential value (53% of the portfolio by count and by dollars). The U.S. Coast Guard places 3 awards for $29 thousand (30%), and the National Park Service Intermountain Region places 2 awards for $17 thousand (18%). All sixteen awards in the source record are prime purchase orders, with no subcontract activity. Award volume has remained flat at three to four awards per year since 2022, with one award (combined potential value $3 thousand) facing recompete in the next twenty-four months. The company has obligated 100% of its combined potential value ($97 thousand) across all awards, indicating complete fulfillment of current commitments. Work is performed at multiple locations including Houston and Galveston, Texas; Greenwood Village, Colorado; and El Paso, Texas, with no federal parent vehicles or IDIQs in the source record.
