Aardvark

Aardvark, a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in La Verne, California, manufactures and supplies non-lethal tactical equipment—principally conducted electrical weapons (Tasers), electrical cartridges, breaching tools, unmanned aircraft systems, riot control gear, and related law enforcement accessories—to federal agencies as a prime contractor competing under full-and-open solicitations rather than set-asides. The company operates primarily through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, holding a $30 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Army's Program Executive Office Ammunition for Taser kits and dataport kits (awarded July 2023, extended through July 2026), and single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime for electrical cartridges ($250,000 ceiling through August 2025, and a newer $350,000 contract through April 2027).

Aardvark's customer base is concentrated in defense and civilian law enforcement, with the top five agencies by award count—the Department of the Army (329 awards), U.S. Marine Corps (247 awards), Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (204 awards), National Park Service Intermountain Region (181 awards), and DHS Chief Procurement Officer (125 awards)—accounting for 26% of recent awards. By dollar value, however, concentration differs markedly: Customs and Border Protection leads with $133.5 million across 103 awards, followed by the Marine Corps at $66.8 million, DHS CPO at $19.1 million, and the Air National Guard at $16.3 million. Marine Corps awards for Tasers and accessories recur at high volume; recent BPA call orders reached $1.8 million, $809,030, and $107,510. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule generates 716 task orders totaling $138.2 million, and the Federal Supply Schedule GS07F8940D accounts for 1,743 task orders at $34.9 million combined value. The company also operates under an ATF IDIQ contract (15A00020DAQA00605) that has issued 100 task orders for unmanned aircraft systems (Sky Hero Loki 2.0 kits) to the U.S. Marshals Service and Drug Enforcement Administration.

Aardvark's primary capability portfolio centers on non-lethal and tactical gear: Tasers and cartridges (X26P, X2, and 7 models), electrical cartridges for ordnance, breaching tools (KBT-branded), riot control faceshields and kits, conducted electrical weapon accessories, unmanned ground vehicles (LOKI systems), unmanned aircraft systems (Sky Hero Loki 2.0 multi-drone kits with controllers and batteries), surveillance equipment (pole cameras, under-door cameras, night vision), body armor, blast doors, and miscellaneous tactical accessories. Representative recent awards include a $3.085 million BPA call for Tasers to PEO Ammunition (September 2025), a $332,850.96 delivery order for drone kits to ICE (September 2024), a $277,000 purchase order for body armor to the State Department for embassy use at Apia, Samoa (April 2025), and a $680,145.30 order for miscellaneous Taser supplies to DHS Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (March 2023). Aardvark also performed smaller specialized orders: a $26,097.72 total-small-business-set-aside delivery order to the FBI Academy for an under-door camera system (August 2025), and a $237,636 total-small-business-set-aside purchase order to Defense Logistics Agency for 2,300 riot control faceshields (September 2025).

Activity has declined from a peak of 137 awards in 2022 to six awards in the first half of 2026, though the company maintains broad customer relationships. The combined potential value of all 4,139 awards is $1.03 billion, with $558.1 million obligated (54%). The recompete cliff shows only nine awards completing in the next twenty-four months with a combined potential value of $4.5 million, suggesting limited near-term contract expiration pressure. Aardvark competes predominantly full-and-open; only scattered awards carry small-business set-asides (total small business or partial small business). The company's footprint spans 300 distinct customer agencies, driven by GSA schedule access and standing IDC and BPA vehicles that enable streamlined procurement by federal customers across the government. Primary work is performed at Aardvark's La Verne facility and a tactical equipment facility at 213 New Jersey Route 15, Wharton, New Jersey, with deliveries to DLA distribution centers and overseas locations including hostile areas where required.
