Purchase Order SPE8E625P1078

Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. (Ads), a Virginia Beach-based military equipment supplier, was awarded a $209,236.40 firm fixed-price purchase order on August 21, 2025, to supply life preserver vests to the U.S. Navy. This total small business set-aside contract, which must be completed by January 20, 2026, fulfills requirements from the Defense Logistics Agency's Troop Support Construction and Equipment division. The solicitation, posted August 11, 2025, required delivery of life preserver vests across 25 line items to multiple Navy vessels and Naval Weapons Systems Support facilities, including aircraft carriers USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, USS Theodore Roosevelt, and USS George Washington, as well as several destroyers, with all deliveries mandated within 90 days of order for each line item.

Ads' selection reflects its established position as a federal contractor specializing in tactical equipment and protective gear for defense and law enforcement agencies. The company maintains 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 small business set-aside designation restricts competition to qualifying small business concerns and aligns with Ads' broader portfolio of mission-critical equipment procurement supporting multiple federal agencies.
