About the company

10-8 Tactical Inc., doing business as Hard-Use Gear, a woman-owned and Asian-Pacific American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Lorton, Virginia, installs emergency lighting, sirens, and related equipment on federal vehicles as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company operates as a Subchapter S Corporation and self-certified small disadvantaged business, competing exclusively in set-aside vehicles with no presence on open-competition vehicles or IDVs.

The vendor's federal footprint is narrow and specialized. Six awards across six fiscal periods since 2018 total $909 thousand in combined potential value, with $663 thousand obligated (73% execution rate). Work concentrates on emergency vehicle outfitting and automotive repair — installation and maintenance of lights, sirens, and acceptance-code updates for law enforcement and investigative operations. Recent awards include a $384.2 million definitive contract from the Department of the Army (awarded September 24, 2025, performance through September 23, 2026) for lights and sirens installation and acceptance-code updates supporting the Army Criminal Investigation Command; a $33,642.66 purchase order from the Internal Revenue Service (awarded May 8, 2026) for a vehicle lighting package for the Commissioners Protection Detail in Washington, DC; and a $290,609.35 purchase order from the Army Criminal Investigation Command (awarded May 4, 2022, modified through May 3, 2025) for installation and maintenance of emergency equipment on vehicles for the Protective Services Battalion.

Customer concentration sits heavily with Department of Army Criminal Investigation Command (two awards, $469 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Department of the Army at large ($384 thousand), the Internal Revenue Service ($34 thousand), GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($18 thousand), and the FBI ($4 thousand). The Army's two customer lines — CID as a repeat user and the Army as the prime funding source for the September 2025 definitive contract — together account for $853 thousand of the $909 thousand total portfolio. One award ($384 thousand from the Army) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. The vendor holds no position on government-wide vehicles, BPAs, or multi-award IDIQs and operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint.
