Purchase Order SPE8E626P0188

Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc., a Virginia Beach-based small business, was awarded a $232,958.03 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency's Troop Support Construction and Equipment division on October 28, 2025, for the procurement and delivery of life preserver vests (NSN 4220015048278). The contract is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside and carries an ultimate completion date of April 27, 2026. The solicitation, posted October 14, 2025, required delivery of approximately 700 life preserver vests to multiple naval vessels and squadrons across the U.S. Fleet, including aircraft carriers USS Carl Vinson, USS Gerald R. Ford, and USS George Washington, as well as amphibious assault ships and various naval aviation squadrons. All deliveries were required within 90 days of order issuance, reflecting urgent operational requirements to support fleet readiness and personnel safety.

Atlantic Diving Supply is well-positioned to fulfill this requirement given its extensive history as a federal defense contractor since 2001 and its established capability in supplying personal protective equipment and tactical gear to defense agencies. The company maintains substantial master contract vehicles, including a $500 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Defense Logistics Agency for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear defense applications, and has demonstrated sustained success in competing for both small business set-aside and unrestricted federal procurements. Performance of this purchase order will occur at the contractor's Virginia Beach, Virginia location, leveraging the company's proximity to major naval installations and logistics infrastructure.
