Blanket Purchase Agreement 15DDHQ21A00000017

This Blanket Purchase Agreement awarded by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), a civilian federal agency, establishes a $41.3 million contract with Safeware Inc., doing business as Safeware Emergency Management, to provide personal protective equipment (PPE) and other safety supplies. The contract has no set-aside designation, indicating Safeware's competitive standing in the open federal market. The BPA allows DEA offices across the continental United States to procure a wide range of critical safety gear, including hazmat suits, respirators, gloves, boots, and other specialized equipment on an as-needed basis over the one-year period of performance. Safeware, a for-profit organization, is a national leader in emergency preparedness and protective safety products and has held numerous federal contract vehicles, including a $9 million General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule contract and a $1.8 million Department of Homeland Security BPA for civil unrest equipment. This DEA BPA further solidifies Safeware's role as a key supplier of essential safety solutions to government agencies involved in law enforcement, hazardous operations, and emergency response.

The contract includes a number of firm fixed-price task orders issued under the BPA, with a total value exceeding $600,000, for the delivery of PPE, decontamination supplies, calibration gas, clandestine laboratory equipment, and specialized safety gear to DEA offices and state/local agencies supporting illicit hazardous environmental cleanups across multiple states. These task orders demonstrate the breadth of Safeware's capabilities in providing critical safety products and services to meet the unique operational requirements of federal, state, and local government customers.
