Rescue One Training For Life Inc.

Rescue One Training For Life Inc., doing business as Rescue One, is a woman-owned small business based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, that procures and delivers automated external defibrillator (AED) equipment, supplies, maintenance services, medical oversight, CPR/AED training, and emergency preparedness support to federal agencies as a prime contractor across 100 percent of recent awards. The company operates almost exclusively under the GSA Medical Equipment and Supplies Federal Supply Schedule (FSS-65-II-A), where it holds a dominant market position anchored by a $3.1 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (awarded August 2024, running through August 2027, total small business set-aside) and a $2.99 million BPA with the Bureau of Administration (awarded March 2023, running through March 2027).

Rescue One's customer footprint spans 149 federal agencies, with concentration among civilian entities. The top five customers by award count — Federal Emergency Management Agency (77 awards, $914 thousand), Internal Revenue Service (44 awards, $11.5 million), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (25 awards, $2.1 million), FBI Headquarters Division (21 awards, $6 million), and Drug Enforcement Administration (13 awards, $1.6 million) — represent approximately 35 percent of all awards. By potential-value ranking, the IRS leads at $11.5 million across 44 awards, followed by the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration at $8 million across 8 awards, the FBI at $6 million, the Air Force at $3.3 million across 11 awards, and the FDA at $2.7 million across 9 awards. Together, these five agencies account for approximately 17 percent of combined potential value. The concentration is broad but skewed toward civilian health, safety, and emergency response agencies.

Rescue One competes predominantly under total small business and woman-owned small business set-asides, with roughly 40 percent of its awards carrying explicit set-aside designations. The remainder compete full-and-open against the GSA schedule. The company operates as a pure prime contractor — all 517 awards in the source are prime-contract or prime-IDV awards with zero subcontractor splits recorded in SCI. Across SCI-reportable service contracts (FY2022–FY2024, eight records), Rescue One invoiced $423 thousand with a workforce of 0.1–0.9 FTEs annually; median government-paid rates ran around $480.71/hr, with senior labor priced to $965.01/hr, reflecting medical director and program oversight roles.

Recent activity shows moderation. Awards per year declined from 108 in 2023 to 85 in 2024, then to 53 in 2025, and 18 year-to-date in 2026 (the most recent award dated July 13, 2026). However, a significant recompete cliff approaches: 33 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $133 million, representing 71 percent of the vendor's total measured pipeline. The IRS BPA, the Bureau of Administration BPA, and multiple FEMA disaster-relief task orders account for the bulk of that exposure.

Representative capability scope includes a $985 thousand FDA purchase order for comprehensive AED maintenance and support services across approximately 400 units deployed to 87 cities in 34 states (awarded December 2025, through December 2028, total small business set-aside), a $652 thousand Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration delivery order for AED program management services, medical oversight, training, and maintenance (September 2025, through September 2029, total small business set-aside), a $558 thousand U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services delivery order for AED units and CPR ready rescue kits (September 2023, completed January 2024, total small business set-aside), and numerous smaller task orders under the IRS BPA ranging from $301 to $843 thousand for supplies, training sessions, medical director oversight, and maintenance. FEMA disaster-relief work comprises a secondary stream, with 77 awards covering CPR/AED/bloodborne pathogens/first aid training in support of declared disasters, typically $1,020–$3,060 per task order.

Rescue One has registered as a federal contractor since August 2002 and holds five active Blanket Purchase Agreements: the $3.1 million IRS BPA (total small business), the $2.99 million Bureau of Administration BPA (no set-aside), a $480,842 DEA BPA for administrative support and CPR/AED training (no set-aside, ultimate completion July 2025), a $136,575 Office of the Inspector General BPA for safety station training (September 2030), and a $101,480 SEC BPA for AED procurement (September 2030). All BPAs operate under the Medical Equipment and Supplies Federal Supply Schedule. The company does not appear in the sub-award data and maintains no visible teaming relationships with other federal contractors; it sources AED equipment from manufacturers such as ZOLL, Stryker/LifePak, Philips, Physio-Control, and Cardiac Science, then bundles procured units with its own training, maintenance, and program-management labor.
