About the company
Center For Public Safety Excellence, Inc., doing business as CFAI, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Reston, Virginia that specializes in fire and emergency services consulting and accreditation. Since its registration in SAM.gov in August 2001, CFAI has established itself as a recognized expert in supporting federal fire departments through comprehensive accreditation services, strategic planning, and compliance support aligned with standards established by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International. The organization provides professional accreditation assessments, consulting services, data management, community risk assessments, and strategic planning initiatives designed to help Department of Defense installations and federal agencies maintain operational effectiveness and safety compliance across their fire and emergency services programs.
CFAI's federal contract portfolio demonstrates extensive engagement with the Department of Defense, particularly through the Navy Installations Command, which represents the organization's primary contracting agency. The company has delivered fire accreditation professional services, accreditation assessments, and consulting support across multiple delivery order and purchase order contracts, with notable awards including a $688,598 firm fixed-price purchase order for the DOD Fire and Emergency Services Accreditation Program (awarded September 2025), a $492,415.10 delivery order for fire accreditation services (February 2023), and a $595,421.87 delivery order for similar accreditation services (February 2022). Additional contract work has included strategic plan development for military fire departments, international accreditation services for facilities such as Joint Base San Antonio, training services, and community risk assessments. The Air Force's Air Education and Training Command has also engaged CFAI for fire department accreditation services, while smaller awards have come from the Navy Installations Command and the Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations. All awards to CFAI have been issued without small business or other set-aside designations, with several contracts awarded on a sole-source basis under FAR authority, reflecting the government's determination that CFAI represents the only responsible source capable of satisfying specific DOD accreditation requirements. CFAI performs work primarily from locations in Virginia, including Reston, Chantilly, and Herndon, and has not identified subcontractors in the contracts reviewed.
