AI Contract Overview
The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency, through the United States Fire Administration, intends to award a sole-source contract to the Society of Fire Protection Engineers for the delivery of Wildland-Urban Interface Risk Assessment & Mitigation training and tools to fire services across the United States. SFPE is identified as the only entity capable of providing this service due to its proprietary software and specialized expertise in engineering-based wildfire risk assessment and mitigation strategies, which are not replicated by any other existing systems. The contract will support a total of ten field course deliveries—three one-day sessions and seven two-day sessions—designed to equip fire departments with the ability to use SFPE’s virtual handbook and digital tools for conducting detailed, flexible, and science-backed risk evaluations and mitigation planning in WUI communities, moving beyond outdated checklist-based methods. All training and technical resources will be delivered under simplified acquisition procedures, classified under NAICS code 611710, with a small business size standard of $15 million. The procurement is not soliciting competitive bids, but interested parties may submit capability statements by email as a Word or PDF attachment to James Suerdieck at fema.dhs.gov by 4:00 PM Eastern Time on June 25, 2026, to allow the government to evaluate potential competition. Responses will be considered solely to determine whether a competitive procurement is warranted, and the government retains full discretion to proceed solely with SFPE. The primary point of contact is James Suerdieck, with secondary support from Kathryn Brown, and the performance location is Emmitsburg, Maryland, though the training will be delivered nationwide to fire departments. No phone inquiries will be accepted.

Full Description
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) / Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) / United States Fire Administration (USFA) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis (IAW FAR 13 and 19.14) with the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE), 9711 Washington Blvd, Suite 380, Gaithersburg, MD, 20878, as the only responsible source that capable of providing Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Risk Assessment & Mitigation for the Fire Service for USFA.
The SFPE uniquely developed software for wildfire risk assessment with high tech systems for determining mitigation strategies. There are no other software applications with these capabilities and proficiencies for managing communities’ risk for WUI incidents. The SFPE has specialized knowledge and training material content for fire mitigation strategies in the Wildland Urban Interface.
This project will provide students with the opportunity to attend the SFPE premier training Program (F0663 & F/W2292) Wildland Urban Interface Risk Assessment & Mitigation for the Fire Service. The course goal is to teach learners to use a virtual handbook of engineering-based resource materials to support fire department WUI property fire risk assessments and recommended mitigation strategies for use in the field.
Currently, many WUI fire assessments are based on simple checklists that don’t provide fire departments with the flexibility they need to make informed recommendations on assessment and mitigation in the field. This project is designed to support three (3) Wildland Urban Interface Risk Assessment & Mitigation for the Fire Service (1-day) course deliveries and seven (7) Wildland Urban Interface Risk Assessment & Mitigation for the Fire Service (2-day) course deliveries in the field for fire departments to learn to use the SFPE WUI tool and apply learning in their jurisdictions
