Zodiac Of North America, Inc. Milpro Division, a foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer of military and professional rigid hull inflatable boats (RIBs) and related maritime equipment, holds a multiple award Federal Supply Schedule contract (GS07F0056J) with the U.S. government. This contract, which does not utilize any set-asides, has an open-ended ceiling value and a current performance period through April 2009. Under this vehicle, Zodiac has been awarded numerous firm-fixed-price delivery orders by various Defense and Civilian agencies, including the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Department of State, and Department of Homeland Security. These task orders, valued from tens of thousands to over $800,000 each, provide the government with a wide range of inflatable boats, fuel tanks, bladder boats, adhesives, and other maritime equipment and accessories to support maritime operations, logistics, and training requirements. Zodiac also holds several Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, which enable recurring procurement of these items through efficiently issued task orders against pre-established pricing and terms.

The task orders under this Federal Supply Schedule contract are primarily for the delivery of RIBs, sponsons, valves, adhesives, and other maritime gear to support military and law enforcement waterborne activities. The contracted products are being sent to various locations within the United States, as well as overseas in places like Bahrain. This contract allows the government to readily acquire critical inflatable boat and related maritime capabilities from a reputable, experienced manufacturer to equip military, security, and emergency response personnel as needed.
