Safe Step, L.L.C.

Safe Step, L.L.C., a for-profit domestic shelter and Subchapter S corporation based in Westland, Michigan, provides transitional housing, home health visiting, and supportive independent living services for veterans as a prime contractor under a single customer relationship with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (VISN 10). The vendor operates exclusively as a prime on five active IDCs without subcontractors, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations.

Safe Step's entire award footprint — 32 awards totaling $7.9 million in combined potential value — derives from one customer: VISN 10, which serves the Detroit metropolitan area. The vendor's customer concentration is absolute; 100% of awards fund VA veteran housing and community-based care programs. The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on health care for homeless veterans (HCHV) services, specifically providing in-home care and home health visiting for male and female veterans experiencing mental illness and substance use disorders, along with transitional housing for single male veterans within the Detroit VA Medical Center catchment area. Representative delivery order work includes a $129.2 thousand order (Option Year Four, awarded March 25, 2026, completing March 24, 2027) for comprehensive home care and supportive services for veterans in Detroit; a $127.0 thousand delivery order (awarded March 25, 2025) for housing up to six single male veterans; and a $206.5 thousand delivery order (awarded March 25, 2023) for home health visiting and supportive independent living services.

Safe Step holds five active IDCs under VISN 10, the primary vehicle being a $1.248 million single-award IDC (VA25112D0138, awarded March 25, 2022, running through March 24, 2027) that anchors the firm's federal work. Four additional IDCs (36C25022D0041, VA25017D0114, VA251P0890, and VA25115D0149) collectively support 18 task orders worth $2.3 million. The vendor's work is performed in Westland and Detroit, Michigan. Award activity has declined sharply — two awards in 2022, then one award per year in 2023 through 2026 — suggesting either a contractual structure where annual delivery orders replace new contract awards or diminished recompete momentum. One award ($129 thousand) completes in the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure. The vendor's footprint by NAICS reflects community housing specialization: 19 awards under Other Community Housing Services, 7 under Residential Mental Health and Substance Abuse Facilities, and 6 under Temporary Shelters.
