Purchase Order SPE8E925V2404

The U.S. Defense Department's Construction and Equipment division awarded a $6,652.74 firm fixed-price purchase order to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. (Ads) on August 27, 2025, for rescue equipment bags. The contract, which carries an ultimate completion date of December 5, 2025, will be performed in Virginia Beach, Virginia, where Ads maintains its headquarters. This award utilizes no set-aside designation, allowing the contractor to compete on an unrestricted basis. Ads is a small business military equipment supplier with extensive federal procurement experience, holding significant contract vehicles including 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.

As a specialized provider of tactical equipment and protective gear to federal defense and law enforcement agencies, Ads has demonstrated consistent capability in fulfilling mission-critical equipment requirements across multiple government entities. This purchase order for rescue equipment bags represents a routine procurement supporting the Defense Department's operational needs, consistent with the contractor's established role in supplying specialized equipment to defense sector customers. The relatively modest contract value and compressed performance timeline reflect the tactical nature of the procurement as a component purchase under the broader equipment acquisition framework.
