Emergency Vehicle Specialties (E.v.s.) Inc.

Emergency Vehicle Specialties (E.v.s.) Inc., a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Pomona, California, provides vehicle upfitting, retrofit, and specialized equipment installation services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing without set-aside designations on firm fixed-price purchase orders. The company operates as a for-profit corporate entity and has not secured seats on federal contract vehicles or IDIQs.

E.v.s.'s capability portfolio centers on law enforcement and emergency-response vehicle modification — specifically vehicle lighting and siren installation, window tinting, gun safe equipment, and full vehicle retrofits for operational use. Recent representative work includes a $24,425.65 retrofit of two U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Intelligence vehicles for law enforcement (awarded June 17, 2025), a $21,144 installation of lights, sirens, and window tinting on four federal vehicles for the U.S. Attorney's Offices (awarded July 3, 2024), and a $20,168.80 purchase order from CBP for vehicle lighting, sirens, and gun safe equipment (awarded June 24, 2026). Work is primarily performed in Southern California (Pomona and Whittier).

Customer concentration is split between the United States Marine Corps (4 awards, $105 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection (3 awards, $50 thousand combined potential value), with the Department of Justice Offices, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the National Park Service accounting for the remainder across seven distinct federal agencies. The top two customers represent 85% of awards and 93% of combined potential value. Activity is sparse — thirteen awards across a sixteen-year history, with only five awards issued since 2018 and one award completing in the next twenty-four months. All $221 thousand in combined potential value has been obligated. E.v.s. operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. The vendor competes entirely on full-and-open purchase orders with no set-aside designations, indicating it wins work on price and capability rather than protected categories.
