Safe Software Inc.

Safe Software Inc., a foreign-owned Canadian software company headquartered in Surrey, British Columbia, supplies geospatial data transformation and integration software to U.S. federal civilian agencies exclusively as a prime contractor on a full-and-open basis, with no subcontracting footprint and no set-aside participation. The vendor's core product is the Feature Manipulation Engine (FME) platform, which federal agencies use for mapping, modeling, data management, digital preservation, and integration of complex spatial and non-spatial data formats. All 134 recent federal awards are delivery orders or purchase orders placed under the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), carrying a combined potential value of $7.7 million and representing 103 distinct task orders across the vehicle.

Safe Software's customer base concentrates among civilian agencies with spatial-data and digital-preservation missions. The Department of Commerce accounts for 37 awards spanning two components — the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (29 awards, $370 thousand potential value) and the U.S. Census Bureau (8 awards, $1.3 million potential value) — together anchoring the top two positions by award count and the top position by total potential value. The Census Bureau alone represents 17% of combined potential value across all awards, with a $345 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order running from July 2022 through June 2024 for FME software licensing and support. The Department of the Army's Corps of Engineers components place volume orders across geospatial and engineering research missions (21 awards combined, $295 thousand potential value), while the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management and Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement contribute 11 awards spanning landscape management and environmental data applications. NOAA, NARA, the National Park Service, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service represent additional repeat customers acquiring annual FME maintenance, licensing renewals, and platform-specific components. Recent representative awards include a $64.5 thousand delivery order from the National Park Service (May 2025, Boise) for two FME Flow licenses and annual maintenance through September 2030, a $47.1 thousand NOAA delivery order (May 2026, Silver Spring) for FY26 FME software and maintenance, and a $24.7 thousand NARA order (May 2025, Berwyn Heights) for FME form-fixed software used in digital preservation operations.

Activity has declined materially over recent years — from a baseline of one to four awards annually in 2022–2023 to a single award in 2026 — with only two awards (combined potential value $57 thousand) reaching completion within the next twenty-four months. Safe Software's federal footprint operates entirely through MAS, a vehicle that does not reserve set-aside slots and does not impose regional or developmental business restrictions. The vendor competes in a narrow NAICS space dominated by software licensing and maintenance rather than custom development: 104 awards coded to Computer Training, 13 to Software Publishers, and 6 to Computer and Computer Peripheral Equipment Wholesale, with PSC coding split between Information Technology Software (66 awards) and software maintenance service plans (17 awards).
