Amron International Inc.

Amron International Inc., doing business as Amron, a woman-owned small business based in Vista, California, manufactures and supplies specialized diving equipment, tactical apparel, safety gear, and commercial off-the-shelf industrial products to federal agencies as a prime contractor on purchase orders, delivery orders, and indefinite-delivery contracts. The company is a Subchapter S Corporation competing predominantly in full-and-open federal procurements without set-aside designations, though it qualifies for and occasionally pursues small-business set-asides across total small business and competitive 8(a) categories when available.

Amron's federal footprint is massive by award count but modest by dollar magnitude. The vendor holds 13,272 prime awards totaling $1.46 billion in combined potential value across 214 customer agencies, with $358.8 million obligated (25% realization). Recent activity has contracted sharply: 500 awards in 2022, 311 in 2023, 43 in 2024, 35 in 2025, and 8 year-to-date in 2026. This trajectory signals either a fundamental shift in ordering patterns or portfolio transition. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months is negligible—only three awards worth $107 thousand face completion and recompete exposure.

Amron's customer base is heavily concentrated in Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support divisions. Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment accounts for 4,169 awards worth $124.3 million; combined with Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware (2,659 awards, $33.2 million) and the general DLA Troop Support division (1,873 awards, $20.1 million), DLA Troop Support represents the vendor's dominant customer by award count. The General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service ranks second by potential value ($110.7 million across 178 awards), anchored by Amron's seat on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (974 awards, $11.5 million) and Naval Sea Systems Command round out the active set. This concentration is pronounced: the top five customers account for 78% of awards, but the dollar concentration is lower because DLA Troop Support awards are typically small-value delivery orders for commercial items.

Amron's primary vehicle footprint centers on DLA EMALL (Electronic Mall) indefinite-delivery contracts. The top vehicle—Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM50006DBP13—carries 933 task orders worth $93.9 million combined potential value and supplies non-National Stock Number commercial off-the-shelf materials to Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support. A second major vehicle, Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM50005DBP20, generated 2,939 task orders worth $48.9 million. Amron also holds a $2 million multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract awarded September 13, 2024, with Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support for FEDMALL non-NSN materials, performance through September 2029. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule produces 1,799 task orders worth $25 million, placing Amron on a governmentwide vehicle for commercial products and services. These vehicles enable rapid, small-dollar fulfillment across the defense supply ecosystem.

Concrete capability framing emerges from the award descriptions and NAICS/PSC concentration: Amron manufactures and distributes marine lifesaving and diving equipment (6,128 awards under PSC Marine Lifesaving And Diving Equipment), commercial hardware (2,740 awards), safety and rescue equipment (1,452 awards), tactical apparel and outerwear (645 awards for men's outerwear alone), and miscellaneous industrial goods. Representative named work includes a $69,901 order from Naval Sea Systems Command (February 25, 2026) for cast hydrogel; a $88,442 total small business set-aside delivery from Naval Supply Systems Command (February 4, 2026) for aircraft grease; a $56,268 delivery order from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (August 23, 2023) for five Kirby Morgan Model 97 dive helmets under GSA Schedule; a $94,740 delivery order from the U.S. Coast Guard (July 17, 2024) for Mustang dry suits under GSA Schedule; and a $40,804 total small business set-aside purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (June 16, 2023) for hydraulic hose assemblies. Amron also supplies batteries, electrical connectors, communication systems, umbilicals, repair kits, and protective personal equipment—the breadth reflecting its role as a commercial wholesaler and light manufacturer into federal logistics channels.

Amron's subcontractor footprint is minimal: one named sub-award to Electric Boat Corporation on SSN 804 submarine construction (June 22, 2023), with the scope described as "SSN 804 Construction (Boat 1, FY20)." This represents 0% of the vendor's recent award count and signals that Amron operates almost exclusively as a prime, with no material subcontracting relationships surfaced in recent years.

The vendor's category concentration reflects its market position as a wholesaler and manufacturer of sporting/diving goods and safety equipment. Top NAICS include Sporting and Recreational Goods and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers (3,819 awards), All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing (2,753 awards), and Sporting Goods Stores (1,633 awards). This classification profile supports the company's broad sourcing of commercial off-the-shelf items for resale to federal customers rather than pure engineering or services delivery.

Amron's competitive posture is characterized by full-and-open bidding across small-value purchases and delivery orders, with occasional small-business set-aside participation when the vehicle or solicitation permits. The vendor does not anchor its business on 8(a) or other preferential set-aside programs; instead, it competes on commercial product availability, pricing, and speed of delivery through established DLA EMALL and GSA Schedule vehicles. The sharp decline in award volume in 2024-2026 relative to 2022-2023 suggests either upstream consolidation in DLA's ordering practices, reduced demand for the product mix Amron sources, or loss of position on key renewal vehicles—a material signal for competitive-intelligence purposes.
