What this contract is for

Presolicitation Notice for Exposure Monitoring Software and Devices 1. Point of Contact. Shavonda Jamison, Contracting Officer, [email protected], 202-618-7113. 2. Set Asides. Total Small Business. 3. Codes for Services or Supplies. NAICS: 513210-Software Publishers, PSC F101 Environmental System Protection-Air Quality Support. 4. Description. The Government requires the procurement of Safeguard Software subscriptions/applications and Fire Monitoring Devices to support the aggregation of data from multiple wearable sensors. These tools will enhance real-time capabilities for measuring and assessing harmful smoke exposure, heat stress, and environmental hazards encountered by wildland firefighters during the 2026 wildland fire season. A review of available sources determined that only one vendor can meet this requirement. Due to the proprietary nature of the Safeguard Software and the specialized training necessary to operate the system, VigiLife, Inc. has been identified as the sole provider capable of supplying the required software subscriptions/applications and monitoring devices. Their solutions are essential to ensure timely implementation of exposure-monitoring capabilities for the 2026 season. The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract to VigiLife, Inc. to fulfill this requirement. A sole source determination has been completed for this acquisition in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1901. The anticipated award date is July 30, 2026. Questions regarding this acquisition should be directed to the Contracting Officer.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
