Safeware Inc.

Safeware Inc., doing business as Safeware Emergency Management, a small business based in Lanham, Maryland, supplies personal protective equipment, chemical-biological-radiological-nuclear (CBRN) detection systems, gas monitoring instruments, and tactical safety equipment to federal law enforcement, defense, and civilian agencies almost exclusively as a prime contractor on full-and-open procurements, with roughly 99% of recent federal work awarded directly to the company rather than as a subcontractor.

The vendor's federal footprint centers on hazardous-materials detection and emergency preparedness supplies. Representative prime work includes a $4.26 million delivery order from the Department of the Army for Mass Personnel Contamination Mitigation System equipment under the Joint Program Executive Office CBRN Defense IDC (awarded June 2026, Total Small Business set-aside); a $1.146 billion delivery order from Army TACOM for CBRN response enterprise personal protective equipment under the same JPEO vehicle (March 2026, Total Small Business set-aside); delivery orders from the FBI Academy for tactical equipment under the Strategic Tactical Equipment and Logistics (STEAL) program worth $190 thousand, $157 thousand, and $106 thousand respectively (July, July, and April 2026, all Total Small Business); a $518 thousand delivery order from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service for personal protective equipment supporting the Army Warfighter Health Center under JPEO CBRND (July 2026, Total Small Business); a $381 thousand order from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for chemical-biological protective garments under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (June 2026); and hundreds of smaller BPA calls from the Drug Enforcement Administration for personal protective equipment including respirators, balaclavas, air monitors, and Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus gear, with DEA calls collectively totaling tens of millions of dollars across reference BPA 15DDHQ21A00000017.

Customer concentration is highly fragmented by volume but heavily skewed by dollar value. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominates by award count at 1,027 awards but carries only $4.6 million combined potential value, reflecting high-velocity, low-dollar purchase orders for gas detectors, calibrating gas mix, and other consumables. The Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration, by contrast, represents 377 awards worth $51.1 million combined potential value—the single largest dollar customer. Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (105 awards, $15.3 million), Defense Logistics Agency Logistics Information Service (13 awards, $10 million), and the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (95 awards, $10 million) round out the top five by dollars. Together these five customers account for 4% of the combined potential value across all 2,255 awards in the source data.

Safeware holds positions on five principal parent vehicles. An Indefinite Delivery Contract (SPE7M125D5000) carries 763 task orders with $255 thousand combined potential value—a high-velocity, low-dollar ordering pattern characteristic of DLA consumables. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule anchors 281 task orders worth $7 million. BPA 15DDHQ21A00000017 (the DEA PPE vehicle) carries 274 task orders worth $7.8 million. An IDC (SPM8EG08D0007) holds 40 task orders for $11.9 million, and an IDC (SPM8EG08D0004) holds 21 task orders for $2.5 million. The source does not name the ceilings on the DLA and other agency IDCs.

Activity has grown sharply but faces a concentration cliff in the recompete window. Awards per year climbed from 73 in 2023 to 97 in 2024 to 889 in 2025, then dropped to 370 in 2026 and only 4 in 2027 (through the source date of May 2027). Thirty-four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $7 million—a material recompete and renewal risk concentrated in DLA and DEA vehicles. The source notes combined dollars obligated across all awards at $65.8 million against $2.28 billion combined potential value (3% realization), indicating a heavy tail of unexercised order authority across the vendor's IDC and BPA portfolio.

Safeware subcontracts minimally—only 1% of recent awards. Named sub work includes two or three task orders under General Dynamics Information Technology for global security engineering and supply chain services products (February, March, and April 2026), and a single sub award under Parsons Government Services International for counter-nuclear-smuggling system deployment logistics and equipment procurement (February 2026). The vendor also received a single federal grant sub-award from the City of Houston (November 2021) for surveillance system server and storage equipment.

The vendor's NAICS concentration reflects its product mix. The top NAICS code is 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), accounting for 921 awards, followed by 338 awards in Other Miscellaneous Durable Goods Merchant Wholesalers and 260 in Other Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing. The top PSC codes are 65G (Hazard-Detecting Instruments and Apparatus) at 1,034 awards, 61 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies) at 235, and 99 (Safety and Rescue Equipment) at 155. This framing confirms the vendor as a wholesaler and systems integrator of commercial CBRN detection, gas monitoring, and protective-equipment products rather than a manufacturer—Safeware sources brand-name gear (Draeger, Blauer, Tychem) and resells it to federal customers through established procurement vehicles.
