Atlas Devices, LLC

Atlas Devices, LLC, a Chelmsford, Massachusetts–based small business manufacturer, sells specialized tactical and rescue equipment—climbing systems, rope ascenders, hoist kits, and space-suit simulator rigs—primarily as a prime contractor (94% of awards) on firm fixed-price delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts with no set-aside designation across defense, homeland security, and space agencies. The company operates across two anchor IDCs: a $7 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Army Research Development and Engineering Command for tactical climbing equipment running through June 2027, and a $2.9 million single-award IDC with the U.S. Coast Guard for APA5 Atlas Ascender rescue hoist kits and associated ropes through September 2026.

Atlas Devices' customer base concentrates heavily on two agencies representing 78% of recent award volume and 93% of combined potential value: the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (44 awards, $21.5 million) and the Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard (18 awards, $8.3 million), with secondary work through NASA ($3.6 million across 2 awards), the Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command ($2.6 million across 4 awards), and the Air Force Research Laboratory ($873 thousand across 3 awards). The company also has sustained presence with U.S. Special Operations Command, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Security Assistance Command. Recent representative prime work includes a $1.86 million firm fixed-price purchase order from NASA (October 2025) for COASTER (Counterweight-Offload Astronaut Sensor, Telemetry & Electronics Rig) services and engineering support at Johnson Space Center, awarded sole-source as the original equipment manufacturer; a $148 thousand order from the Security Assistance Command (October 2025) for sea assault equipment supporting Colombia under Foreign Military Sales; multiple Coast Guard delivery orders for MH-60T aircraft rescue hoist system components, including warranty extensions and rope kits totaling over $6.5 million cumulative; and recurring Army RDECOM delivery orders for climbing items, batteries, and tactical equipment ranging from $12.5 thousand to $328.6 thousand per order.

Atlas Devices holds positions on three named indefinite delivery vehicles: the Army's Indefinite Delivery Contract W911QY13D0098 (19 task orders, $5.1 million combined value), the Army's Indefinite Delivery Contract W911QY22D0014 (10 task orders, $1.4 million combined value), and an additional IDC 70Z03821DJ0000013 (10 task orders, $5.1 million combined value). The vendor's capability footprint spans individual equipment (26 awards), armor and personal protective systems (19 awards), airframe structural components (12 awards), and miscellaneous fabricated metal and marine equipment; primary NAICS codes reflect all-other miscellaneous fabricated metal product manufacturing, overhead traveling crane and hoist manufacturing, and aircraft parts manufacturing. Activity has remained steady at 9–16 awards per year over the past five years, with 11 awards in 2025 year-to-date and a modest recompete cliff of $2 million in combined potential value for awards completing in the next twenty-four months.

On the subcontractor side, Atlas Devices operates under five named primes: Defense Systems and Solutions (H-60 power ascender materials for the Prototype Integration Facility at Redstone Arsenal), HII Mission Technologies Corp (aerial delivery analysis and powered ascender rope handling technology for combat capabilities), Atlantic Diving Supply (VBSS monopole and medium standard kits and related equipment, three sub-awards), and two additional primes carrying work on rover-support activities and related programs. The company's sub footprint is minimal relative to its prime business, accounting for six awards (6% of total volume) and representing specialized equipment integration roles within larger defense platforms rather than standalone service delivery. Atlas Devices competes entirely unrestricted (no SBA set-asides); its footprint relies on sole-source and competitive full-and-open designations anchored to its status as original equipment manufacturer and specialized equipment provider for established platforms and niche national security applications.
