Med-Eng, LLC

Med-Eng, LLC, a subsidiary of Safariland LLC (itself a subsidiary of Cadre Holdings, Inc.), manufactures explosive ordnance disposal equipment, force protection systems, and blast exposure monitoring technology as a prime contractor to the Department of Defense and federal law enforcement agencies, operating on full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations across a 480-award footprint worth $360.4 million in combined potential value. The company is based in Ogdensburg, New York, and competes predominantly under open-market vehicles rather than small-business set-asides.

Med-Eng's capability portfolio centers on bomb suits, helmets, protective apparel, and blast exposure monitoring (BEMO) systems. Representative recent work includes a $50 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract awarded by US Special Operations Command on September 26, 2025, covering BEMO systems, accessories, replacement parts, software maintenance, and system enhancements through September 25, 2030, with a $10 million delivery order issued the same day by the Research Development and Engineering Command. A $8.4 million delivery order followed on May 21, 2026, for BEMO kit and parts replacement under the same IDIQ. Earlier, the Air Force Air Education and Training Command awarded Med-Eng a $2.179 million delivery order in February 2023 for bomb suit ensembles and a $1.847 million delivery order in February 2022 for EOD bomb suit order 9. The company also holds a $249,999.99 single-award indefinite-delivery contract with Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles, against which it has received recurring delivery orders for body armor, fragmentation shells, and jacket inserts; recent task orders include $6,381.85 for face shields (July 2024) and $1,899 for body armor trousers (January 2024).

Customer concentration breaks across defense and law enforcement agencies with no single dominant customer. By award count, the top five agencies represent 31% of awards: Naval Sea Systems Command (42 awards, $45.8 million combined potential value), United States Marine Corps (36 awards, $31.7 million), Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security (24 awards, $2.9 million), Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (23 awards, $8 million), and DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles (22 awards, $12.9 million). By potential value, however, the ranking shifts: Air Force Air Education and Training Command leads with 16 awards valued at $53.6 million, followed by Naval Sea Systems Command ($45.8 million), Marine Corps ($31.7 million), Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal ($25.4 million, eight awards), and Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Soldier ($21.5 million, 19 awards). The Air Force's concentration in dollars reflects larger delivery orders for bomb suit ensembles; Navy and Marine Corps concentration reflects volume of smaller recurring orders for protective gear and components.

Med-Eng's primary vehicle position is the Law Enforcement & Security Services umbrella, which carries 230 task orders valued at $34.9 million combined potential value. Named single-award indefinite-delivery contracts include IDC W58RGZ05D0326 (21 task orders, $8 million), FA805118D0001 (11 task orders, $29.6 million), and N0017411D0019 (10 task orders, $8.9 million). The $50 million SOCOM BEMO IDIQ awarded September 2025 represents the largest ceiling award in recent activity.

Activity has declined year over year — ten awards in 2022, eight in 2023, sixteen in 2024, four in 2025, and two in 2026 — with only three awards (combined potential value $18.6 million) reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term. Med-Eng's subcontract footprint is modest at 4% of total awards (17 sub-awards). Recent subs cluster under General Dynamics Land Systems Inc. for Stryker vehicle supply-chain work (multiple task orders in December 2024 and 2025 for inventory warehousing, ICV-D requirements, and DVHA1 vehicle production under Sergeant Stout systems contracts) and under Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. for EOD equipment and bomb suit ensembles (six task orders between March 2024 and November 2024 for HMA X-ray kits, bomb suits, and EOD 10E ensembles). The prime concentration (96% of awards) reflects Med-Eng's direct contractual relationships with federal agencies and heavy reliance on owned IDIQ vehicles and DLA Troop Support standing contracts rather than sub-work for revenue.

By NAICS concentration, 241 awards fall under All Other Miscellaneous General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing; 52 under Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (reflecting BEMO technology work); and 40 under Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing (reflecting protective apparel). By PSC, 111 awards code to Armor, Personal; 58 to Surface Use Explosive Ordnance Disposal Tools and Equipment; and 57 to Night Vision Equipment, reflecting the breadth of protective systems Med-Eng supplies across force protection missions.
