Galvion LTD

Galvion LTD, a foreign-owned manufacturer of ballistic helmets and integrated head protection equipment, operates as the principal federal prime contractor (89% of recent awards) and subcontractor for the Canadian parent Galvion Inc., competing under Total Small Business set-asides on approximately half its prime footprint. Headquartered in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with manufacturing operations in Newport, Vermont and Marlborough, Massachusetts, Galvion LTD produces ballistic helmet systems—including the Viper, Caiman, and Hellbender models—and electrical power and data components for defense, law enforcement, and diplomatic security agencies. The vendor's subsidiary structure includes Galvion Technologies LLC, Galvion Ballistics LTD, Galvion Soldier Power LLC, and Galvion Focused Solutions LLC, each anchoring capability domains in helmet systems, ballistics engineering, power systems, and specialized solutions.

Galvion LTD's concrete federal footprint splits between ballistic helmet supply (primary capability) and electrical components (secondary expansion). Helmet work dominates: a $10 million FBI multiple-award IDIQ for ballistic helmets meeting Helmet Protocol 2024 standards (awarded June 2025, Total Small Business set-aside, through May 2031) has driven 19 task orders totaling approximately $3.5 million in combined potential value since award, primarily for U.S. Marshals Service regional offices supporting fugitive apprehension operations—orders range from $1,336 to $2.1 million per delivery order. A $9.15 million sole-source definitive contract with the Defense Security Assistance Command (awarded August 2025, Total Small Business set-aside, completion August 2026) procured protective personnel equipment helmets for delivery from Portsmouth. Galvion holds a $26 million GSA Multiple Award Schedule position (the single largest dollar anchor in the portfolio), from which 24 task orders totaling $9.8 million have been issued across civilian and defense agencies including the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security, Department of Defense Air Education and Training Command, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Naval Sea Systems Command. The electrical component business line, evident in 11 awards classified under Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing (NAICS 335311), comprises cable assemblies and power supply adapters procured by Defense Logistics Agency Aviation—representative awards include $274,911 for cable assemblies (May 2026, Total Small Business set-aside), $129,121 for cable assemblies (April 2026, Total Small Business), and $51,584 for specialized cable assemblies (November 2025, Total Small Business).

Customer concentration clusters tightly around law-enforcement and defense procurement channels. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation leads by award count (12 awards, $1.6 million combined potential value), followed by U.S. Marshals Service Investigative Operations Division (5 awards, $2.2 million), Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security (5 awards, $3.2 million), and FBI Headquarters Division (4 awards, $10.6 million). By potential-value dollars, concentration is more acute: GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors 72% of combined potential value with the $26 million MAS position, FBI accounts for $10.6 million across the IDIQ and related awards, and State Department and Army RDECOM trail substantially. This divergence signals heavy reliance on the GSA MAS vehicle for baseline revenue but concentrated near-term opportunity in law enforcement helmet orders and R&D engagements.

Galvion holds positions on three primary parent vehicles. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule (24 task orders, $9.8 million combined potential value) serves as the broadest distribution channel across civilian and defense agencies. The FBI ballistic helmet IDIQ (15F06725D0000480, $10 million ceiling, 19 task orders, $3.5 million combined potential value) concentrates law enforcement demand. Single-award Defense Logistics Agency Aviation IDICs—one indefinite-delivery contract awarded March 2026 ($535,515 ceiling, no set-aside, through March 2031, no recent task orders reported) and another awarded November 2025 ($350,000 ceiling, Total Small Business set-aside, through November 2030)—provide secondary aviation platforms. Research and development sits on three Other Transaction Agreements: a $1.5 million RDECOM OTA (May 2025) for an Integrated Multi-Threat Headborne System Prototype, a $1.14 million RDECOM OTA (January 2022) for CBRN head-up display integration into ballistic helmets, and a $128,800 U.S. Special Operations Command OTA (September 2022) for helmet prototype design.

Activity has accelerated sharply year over year—7 awards in 2022, 4 in 2023, 5 in 2024, 12 in 2025, and 27 in 2026—reflecting expansion in both helmet and electrical component sales. The combined potential value across 65 awards is $62.5 million, with $26.4 million obligated (42% execution rate). Nineteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $3.9 million, representing moderate recompete exposure. The FBI IDIQ and DLA Aviation contracts carry forward momentum but the largest dollar anchor—the $26 million GSA MAS ceiling—is a standing vehicle rather than a discrete recompete event.

In its subcontractor role, Galvion LTD performs engineering, design, manufacturing, and power-and-data-solutions work under Booz Allen Hamilton (multiple awards from 2024 through May 2026 for ballistic helmet design, power and data solutions, and Silent Swarm and VROD/VMAX support), Boeing (CH-47F Block II aircraft manufacturing for Germany, May 2026), Teledyne Scientific & Imaging (unmanned battery engineering and PDR milestone work, January 2026), and ManTech Tsg-2 Joint Venture (Force Design 2030 R&D for Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory, December 2024). Across both prime and sub work, the category concentration underscores the split: 42 awards under Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing (primary PSC: Armor, Personal, 33 awards), 11 awards under Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing (primary PSC: Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment, 12 awards), and 3 R&D awards each under life sciences research categories.
