A4Safe Inc.

A4Safe Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Fairfax, Virginia, delivers biometric identity management services, aviation safety and security products, and critical infrastructure protection engineering to federal agencies as a prime contractor (89% of recent awards). The vendor competes predominantly on unrestricted full-and-open and GSA Schedule vehicles rather than SBA set-asides, with no mandatory set-aside designations across its award footprint.

A4Safe's customer concentration is heavily anchored by two major vehicles. The Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with a $1 billion ceiling running through September 30, 2029, awarded February 9, 2022, under the eFAST (Electronic FAA Accelerated and Simplified Tasks) parent BPA, which accounts for roughly 96% of the vendor's combined potential value across all awards. The Department of Homeland Security Office of the Under Secretary for Management is the second major customer, holding four awards totaling $41.5 million in combined potential value, all issued against the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. Within DHS/OUS for Management, A4Safe holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with a $24.998 million ceiling running through September 29, 2030, awarded September 30, 2025, under which three BPA calls have been issued to date: a $3.584 million time-and-materials call (September 30, 2025) for biometric advancement and standards support services; a $3.669 million firm-fixed-price call (September 30, 2026) for biometric and identity management training services and subject matter expertise in emerging modalities and person-centric identity data standards; and a $9.261 million firm-fixed-price call (September 30, 2026) covering capability assessment, architecture and integration planning, and testing and validation for biometric identity management. The DHS Science and Technology Directorate placed a $983,934 definitive contract (June 23, 2023) for R&D soft target alert notification system development, with ultimate completion on June 22, 2025. All work is performed in Stafford, Virginia, except the vendor's headquarters and administrative functions in Fairfax.

Activity has been episodic — one award each in 2021 and 2022, two in 2023, a gap in 2024, then two awards in both 2025 and 2026. The vendor faces minimal recompete pressure; only one award ($3.6 million) completes within the next twenty-four months. A4Safe operates almost exclusively as a prime (89% of awards) and does not systematically engage subcontractors — SCI-reported data shows zero sub-hours share across prime contracts. The vendor holds one subcontractor engagement with General Dynamics Information Technology on a strategy and management consulting support task for OSE Services (awarded October 12, 2023).

On the GSA Schedule side, A4Safe maintains 29 active labor categories spanning systems engineering, data analytics, cybersecurity, technical architecture, project management, and subject matter expertise roles, with hourly rates ranging from $108.33 to $259.37 and no security-cleared positions. Government-paid rates on SCI-reportable prime service contracts ran a median of $123.70/hr, with the 10th percentile at $116.86/hr and the 90th percentile at $130.55/hr. SCI-reported invoicing across prime contracts totaled $1.1 million over FY2023–FY2025 (FY2024 peak at $677 thousand), reflecting a small subset of the vendor's federal services revenue and excluding goods, classified work, and the large FAA and DHS/OUS BPA vehicles. The vendor delivers through its own staff rather than a subcontractor-dependent model; SCI-reported federal FTE delivery was roughly 0.9 FTEs in FY2023, 4.4 FTEs in FY2024, and 2.2 FTEs in FY2025, with the spike in FY2024 driven by subcontract reporting rather than prime-contract scaling.
