Purchase Order SPE1C126V0163

The U.S. Defense Department's Clothing and Textiles division awarded a $1,870 firm fixed-price purchase order to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc., a Virginia Beach-based small business military equipment supplier, on January 22, 2026. The contract covers the procurement of helmets and body armor, with performance scheduled for completion by March 9, 2026. Atlantic Diving Supply, which operates under the doing business as name "Ads," was selected without a set-aside designation, competing on an unrestricted basis. The place of performance is identified as Virginia Beach, Virginia, aligning with the contractor's headquarters location.

Atlantic Diving Supply has established itself as a significant federal defense contractor through extensive prime and subcontract awards across multiple federal agencies including the FBI, DEA, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and U.S. Special Operations Command. The company maintains substantial master contract vehicles, most notably a $500 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Defense Logistics Agency for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear defense applications and a $47.9 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement through September 2028. This purchase order likely represents a task order or delivery order call against one of these existing master vehicles, enabling streamlined procurement of critical personal protective equipment for federal defense and law enforcement operations.
