Safeware Inc.

Safeware Inc., doing business as Safeware Emergency Management, is a small business based in Lanham, Maryland that supplies chemical-biological-radiological-nuclear detection systems, personal protective equipment, gas monitoring instruments, and tactical safety equipment to federal defense and civilian agencies almost exclusively as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards). The company operates as a commercial wholesaler and systems integrator of brand-name protective and detection equipment rather than a manufacturer, sourcing products from vendors including Draeger, Blauer, and others and reselling them through federal procurement channels.

Safeware's customer concentration centers on Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, which dominates by award count with 1,152 awards carrying $5.8 million combined potential value across gas detectors, calibrating gas mixtures, and consumable equipment components. The Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration places the second-largest volume at 388 awards ($51.7 million combined potential value), primarily through its personal protective equipment BPA 15DDHQ21A00000017, on which Safeware holds 274 task orders worth $7.8 million combined potential value. The FBI Academy anchors the largest single-customer dollar exposure with nine awards carrying $70.7 million combined potential value under the FBI Strategic Tactical Equipment and Logistics (STEAL) vehicle, where Safeware supplies tactical equipment and protective gear. Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment, GSA Federal Acquisition Service, and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation round out the top-five customer set, collectively representing 75% of recent awards. The divergence between rankings—DLA Land and Maritime leads by volume but FBI Academy dominates by dollars—reflects a portfolio split between high-velocity, low-dollar consumables purchases and large delivery orders for CBRN response enterprise personal protective equipment and advanced systems.

Safeware holds positions on five principal parent vehicles. The Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7M125D5000 (Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime) carries 831 task orders worth $285 thousand combined potential value, reflecting the high-frequency, small-order pattern characteristic of DLA consumables procurement. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule carries 286 task orders valued at $7.3 million, with Safeware supplying hazmat suits, respirators, and detection equipment to civilian agencies. The DEA BPA 15DDHQ21A00000017 (the personal protective equipment vehicle noted above) places 285 task orders valued at $8.4 million. Two Army-focused IDIQs—the Joint Program Executive Office CBRN Defense "Brand Name Commercial items, Equipment, and Ancillary Training and Services" vehicle (SPM8EG08D0007) and the companion SPM8EG08D0004—carry 40 and 21 task orders respectively, valued at $11.9 million and $2.5 million combined potential value. Recent representative work on JPEO CBRND vehicles includes a $5.8 million delivery order from Defense Finance and Accounting Service for the Wearable All-Hazard Remote-Monitoring Program (WARP), a $5 million Army Contamination Mitigation System delivery order, and a $1.94 million Army CBRN Response Enterprise personal protective equipment order under Total Small Business set-asides.

Safeware competes predominantly on full-and-open procurements and established vehicles rather than SBA set-asides, though Total Small Business set-asides appear on a portion of large delivery orders (particularly JPEO CBRND and FBI STEAL work). The vendor's portfolio centers on NAICS 334511 and related manufacturing/wholesale codes with primary PSC 65G (Hazard-Detecting Instruments and Apparatus), under which 1,157 awards sit, and PSC 42 (Safety and Rescue Equipment), accounting for 169 awards. Activity has grown materially, from 73 awards in 2023 to 97 in 2024 to 889 in 2025, though 2026 and 2027 reflect incomplete-year captures in the source data. Forty-six awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry $22.7 million combined potential value and face recompete exposure. Safeware subcontracts minimally—only 1% of recent awards are sub positions, with named primes including General Dynamics Information Technology (Global Security Engineering and Supply Chain Services work), Bering Straits Professional Services (CBRNE consequence management support in Lexington, Kentucky), and a single grant sub-award to the City of Houston for surveillance system server procurement. Place of performance is primarily Lanham, Maryland, with fulfillment and delivery to customer locations across CONUS and OCONUS DLA distribution points, military installations, and federal agency field offices nationwide.
