House Of Scuba, Inc.

House of Scuba, Inc., a San Diego-based for-profit small business, supplies diving and underwater safety equipment to the Defense Department and federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor on 157 purchase orders and delivery orders, competing entirely in full-and-open (non-set-aside) and total small business set-aside categories with no 8(a), HUBZone, or other SBA designations beyond small-business status.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward a single agency. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) accounts for 89% of recent awards and approximately 90% of combined potential value. Within DLA, the Construction and Equipment division dominates with 110 awards valued at $1.1 million combined potential value, supplemented by smaller volumes from DLA Land and Maritime (14 awards, $24 thousand) and DLA Aviation (7 awards, $10 thousand). The remaining customer base—Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command ($105 thousand across 5 awards), GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($476 thousand across 3 delivery orders on the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule), the Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement ($251 thousand across 3 awards), the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command ($265 thousand for a single large purchase order for jet fins and snorkels), and the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Navy (single-digit awards each)—collectively represent the remaining 10% of potential value and provide limited diversification from DLA dependency.

House of Scuba's capability portfolio is specialized and narrow: the vendor manufactures and supplies breathing apparatus, regulators, buoyancy compensators, diving weights, fins, masks, diving suits, repair and service kits, and associated underwater safety components. Representative prime awards include a $223.7 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment in October 2024 for 250 units of breathing apparatus (NSN 4240015428156), a $264.7 thousand total small business set-aside from the Air Force Air Education and Training Command in February 2022 for jet fins, mask booties, and snorkels, a $131.1 thousand total small business set-aside from DLA for 2,500 regulator parts kits (NSN 4240015428151), a $125.6 thousand purchase order from the Department of State for diving gear and equipment in July 2022, a $62.5 thousand Coast Guard purchase order in August 2025 for Aqua Lung Survival Egress Air (SEA) System valves and cylinders, and a $44.5 thousand Department of the Navy award in August 2024 for Poseidon regulator parts. The bulk of the vendor's footprint, however, consists of sub-$15,000 purchase orders for individual diving components—flow-control valves, O-rings, hand vises, washers, handwheels, and quick-connect adapters—issued by DLA throughout 2025 and 2026.

Activity has grown sharply in the recent period. Awards per year tracked at 9 (2022) through 11 (2024) before jumping to 32 in 2025 and remaining at 10 into 2026, reflecting heightened transaction volume rather than deal-size concentration. The vendor's combined potential value across all 157 awards totals $2.5 million, with $2 million already obligated (81% of potential), a posture consistent with mostly awarded purchase orders. Only 2 awards with combined potential value of $13 thousand face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term.

House of Scuba operates on the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule with a $475,000 Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contract ceiling, from which three delivery orders have been awarded ($18 thousand combined potential value). The source identifies the vendor as a PADI 5-star Instructional Development Center (IDC) Dive Center and online/local scuba retail operation. All 157 awards are prime contracts; the vendor carries no subcontract footprint in the source data. Performance is consistently located in San Diego, California, the vendor's headquarters location. The vendor competes in full-and-open and total small business set-aside categories exclusively; recent awards show mixed set-aside posture, with roughly 15–20% designated as total small business set-asides and the remainder unrestricted.

House of Scuba's federal footprint is operationally narrow and customer-concentrated. The organization functions as a specialty equipment supplier rather than a systems integrator or service provider, and DLA's Construction and Equipment division represents a moat-like concentration point that anchors nearly all transactional volume. Recompete risk is minimal in the near term, but pipeline and growth trajectory are entirely dependent on continued DLA purchase-order flow for incremental diving-equipment procurements.
