About the company
Argonaut Inflatable Research And Engineering, Inc., operating under its Aire Environmental division and doing business as Outcast Sporting Gear, manufactures spill containment equipment, absorbent hazardous-materials pads, collapsible bladders, and specialized inflatable equipment for federal defense and logistics customers as a prime contractor exclusively—the vendor holds no subcontract awards in the source data. The small business, based in Meridian, Idaho, competes predominantly full-and-open, with one small-business total set-aside award noted in the footprint but no recurring 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other designated set-aside posture across its prime portfolio.
Argonaut's customer concentration is extreme and defense-logistics dominated. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation accounts for 225 awards (55% of total awards) and $4.6 million in combined potential value—nearly half of the vendor's entire federal revenue base. Four additional customers (the Marine Corps, the Army, DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment, and GSA Federal Acquisition Service) represent 70% of award count but a much smaller share of dollars; GSA Federal Acquisition Service ranks second in potential value at $1.5 million across 7 awards, driven primarily by Argonaut's August 2024 Federal Supply Schedule contract under Special Item Number 332999P. Recent representative work includes a $12,101 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Aviation in November 2025 for absorbent hazardous-material pads, a $54,690 total small-business set-aside order from Naval Supply Systems Command in August 2023 for Combat Rubber Raiding Crafts (inflatable boats for Navy EOD and SEAL training), and a $17,006 order from Naval Sea Systems Command in July 2024 for spill-containment berms.
Argonaut places 108 task orders under the Federal Supply Schedule GS07F9264S ($1.2 million combined potential value) and holds several single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation, including a $250,000 IDC for hazardous-materials absorbent pads and spill clean-up kits that generates recurring task orders. The vendor's capability footprint concentrates on Hazardous Material Spill Containment and Clean-Up Equipment (313 awards across the full history), with secondary exposure to miscellaneous materials-handling equipment and small-craft manufacturing. Activity has been episodic—ranging from 1 to 7 awards annually over the past five years—with the most recent award in February 2026. Combined potential value stands at $9.5 million across 409 total prime awards, with $5.2 million obligated (55% of potential). Place of performance is Meridian, Idaho, with worldwide delivery available under the Federal Supply Schedule.
