Revised Contract Amount: NTE $1,600,000

(C) The goods or services to be provided, the methods of delivering goods or services, and any
significant program changes reflected in the proposed contract:

Safeware, Inc. provides the Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department (FEMS) with a
comprehensive range of firefighting tools, hazardous materials response equipment, and safety
equipment necessary to support operational readiness across all forty-three FEMS facilities and
engine stations. All equipment and related services furnished under this contract are provided in full
compliance with National Fire Protection Association 1851 standards, FEMS policies, and
applicable occupational health and safety regulations. These goods and services ensure that FEMS
personnel have continuous access to mission critical equipment required for effective emergency
response. Any interruption in the provision of this equipment or associated services would
significantly impair the District’s operational capabilities and pose substantial risks to the health,
welfare, and safety of District residents and visitors.

(D) The selection process, including the number of offerors, the evaluation criteria, and the
evaluation results, including price, technical or quality, and past performance components:

CW113639 is a task order contract issued against a cooperative agreement between Safeware, Inc.
and Fairfax County, VA , contract number 4400008468. The cooperative agreement was
competitively bid and awarded.

(E) A description of any bid protest related to the award of the contract, including whether the
protest was resolved through litigation, withdrawal of the protest by the protestor, or
voluntary corrective action by the District. Include the identity of the protestor, the grounds
alleged in the protest, and any deficiencies identified by the District as a result of the protest:

3

None.

(F) A description of any other contracts the proposed contractor is currently seeking or holds
with the District:

None.

(G) The background and qualifications of the proposed contractor, including its organization,
financial stability, personnel, and performance on past or current government or private
sector contracts with requirements similar to those of the proposed contract:

Safeware’s Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) Risk Analytics Report indicates adequate financial resources
to perform the contract or the ability to obtain such resources. The report further indicates that the
organization has been active for 44 years in industrial machinery and safety equipment sector. The
contractor has consistently met contractual obligations through compliance with the contractual
terms and adherence to technical guidance provided on previous contracts with the District.

(H) The period of performance associated with the proposed change, including date as of which
the proposed change is to be made effective:

February 27, 2026, through February 26, 2027.

Council has not provided approval, disaggregated by each proposed change if more than one
proposed change has been aggregated for Council review:

(J) The aggregate dollar value of the proposed changes as compared with the amount of the
contract as awarded:

NTE 1,600,000

(K) The date on which the contracting officer was notified of the proposed change:

December 15, 2025

(L) The reason why the proposed change was sent to Council for approval after it is intended to
take effect:

The contracting officer exercised option year two at the contractual amount. Due to increased
needs, the contract’s NTE ceiling amount needed to be increased within a timeframe that did not
allow for prior Council approval. The proposed modification for this increase will be executed after
Council’s approval.

(M) The reason for the proposed change:
4

The proposed increase for option period two and the subsequent option periods is necessary to
ensure continued procurement and maintenance of essential firefighting tools and safety equipment
across all FEMS facilities. The expiration of the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant as
well as a change in the federal funding policy for the operational requirements of localities, makes
the increase of option periods two through four necessary to maintain uninterrupted provision and
support for firefighting tools and safety equipment, essential to FEMS’ operational capacity.

27 DCMR 3601.2

(O) A certification that the proposed contractor has been determined not to violate section 334a of
