About the company
Black Box Safety, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business headquartered in El Cajon, California, supplies protective apparel, body armor, tactical gear, safety equipment, and specialized supplies to federal defense and civilian agencies as a prime contractor operating predominantly under SDVOSB and small-business set-asides. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and self-certified small disadvantaged business competing almost exclusively in reserved categories; 100% of its recent awards are prime contracts with no subcontractor footprint.
Black Box Safety's capability portfolio centers on ballistic protection systems, body armor vests and carriers, tactical uniforms and apparel, personal protective equipment including PAPR kits for CBRN decontamination, safety equipment including rucksacks and rescue gear, and specialized supplies such as pressure-sensitive tape, reflective tape, luminous tape, and electrical equipment. Representative recent work includes a $1,147,692 five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of Defense Inspector General (effective May 2024 through May 2029) for ballistic vests and accessories supporting Criminal Investigation Service agents; a $1 million single-award BPA with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (effective January 2025 through February 2030) for electrical equipment in the Pittsburgh District area; a $104,765 delivery order from Air Force Global Strike Command for 530 sets of soft-plate body armor ballistics under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule; a $1,907,585 firm-fixed-price purchase order from U.S. Customs and Border Protection for flashlights and headlamps to support southwestern border operations; and a $812,006.65 Veterans Affairs order for Hemcon trauma bandages. NAICS concentration splits between Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing (35 awards) and Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing (13 awards), with PSC codes dominated by Armor, Personal (22 awards) and Clothing, Special Purpose (13 awards).
Customer concentration reflects defense and law-enforcement focus, with top-five agencies accounting for 43% of awards by count but concentration skews toward dollar value. The Department of Defense Inspector General leads by potential value at $2.5 million across six awards (ballistic vests and accessories), followed by the Army Corps of Engineers at $1 million across two awards (electrical equipment BPAs). The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 leads by award count at eight awards but carries only $376 thousand combined potential value, indicating numerous small orders for body armor, protective gear, and rescue equipment. Naval Sea Systems Command and GSA Federal Acquisition Service each place eight and six awards respectively, with Naval Sea Systems Command orders focused on pressure-sensitive, reflective, and luminous tape, and GSA FAS serving as a multi-agency catalog vehicle with $505 thousand in combined potential value.
Black Box Safety holds position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (contract 47QSWA23D000Y, effective through November 2027, with $500,000 ceiling) and has generated 23 task orders under that vehicle valued at $1.7 million combined potential value. The company also operates two single-award BPAs with the Army Corps of Engineers totaling $1 million in combined ceiling (one for electrical equipment in the Pittsburgh District, one for the Northwest Division). Task orders flow against these vehicles from Naval Sea Systems Command, Air Force, DEA, Department of Veterans Affairs, Army Cyber Command, and Customs and Border Protection, with delivery orders for body armor, ballistic shields, tactical uniforms, acoustic hailing devices, and equipment ranging from $8,854 to $104,765 per order.
Activity has accelerated sharply: two awards in 2022, fifteen in 2023, seventeen in 2024, and thirty-two in 2025, with eleven awards in the first three quarters of 2026. The $12 million combined potential value across all eighty-three prime awards reflects high order frequency and moderate individual ceiling values. Only three awards complete in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $115 thousand), signaling low recompete cliff exposure. Work is performed at Black Box Safety's El Cajon, California facility with flexibility to ship to customer delivery points including military installations, VA medical centers, and federal law enforcement facilities nationwide.
