Patriot3, Inc.

Patriot3, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Fredericksburg, Virginia, manufactures specialized tactical equipment — principally jetboots, diving gear, ballistic shields, and related components — sold exclusively as a prime contractor to defense and special operations agencies without reliance on small business set-asides. The vendor competes full-and-open across all 136 recent awards in the source data, with no sub-award footprint.

Patriot3's customer concentration is extreme and intentional. United States Special Operations Command dominates the portfolio at 58 awards and $26.7 million combined potential value — 68% of all prime awards and 68% of combined potential dollars across the past five years. The top five customers by count account for 61% of awards, but USSOCOM's outsized share means the top customer by potential value also anchors the portfolio. Secondary customers include the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Supply Systems Command (7 awards each, $494 thousand and $1.8 million respectively), the Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation (6 awards, $76 thousand), and the Department of Homeland Security Secret Service (5 awards, $238 thousand). GSA Federal Acquisition Service appears once in the source data but carries $6 million potential value, indicating a high-ceiling order.

Patriot3 holds two active single-award indefinite delivery contracts anchoring its federal work. The primary vehicle is a $10 million USSOCOM IDC (H9224022D0008, April 2022–April 2027) covering jetboots, jetboot parts, training, and repair services for special operations forces. Against this vehicle, Patriot3 has executed 21 task orders totaling $5.9 million in combined potential value, with individual delivery order values ranging from $7,468.79 (jetboots, January 2023) to $1,355,429.30 (jetboots and parts, July 2024). The second is a $500,000 Department of the Air Force IDC (August 2023–August 2028) for jetboots and maintenance kits supporting Air Force rescue squadrons and Space Force units; 32 task orders total $4.4 million against a predecessor or related Air Force vehicle (H9224016D0041). Representative work includes a $299,482.06 delivery order from Naval Special Warfare Command for jetboot parts and accessories (January 2026), a $602,752.06 Naval Supply Systems Command purchase order for 50AH B-cell batteries (May 2025), a $66,158.00 Defense Logistics Agency order for diving equipment sets (March 2026), and a $153,710.00 Veterans Affairs Medical Center purchase order for ballistic shields and wing sets (September 2023). Patriot3 also supplies commercially available components through occasional full-and-open procurement — for example, a $181,380.00 Naval Supply Systems Command purchase order for a velocimeter (September 2021) where the government lacked technical data rights to source elsewhere.

Activity has contracted modestly in recent years. Patriot3 recorded nine awards in 2022, twelve in 2023, five in 2024, six in 2025, and three through March 2026. Combined potential value across all 136 awards stands at $39.2 million with $16.3 million obligated (42% drawdown), suggesting sustained execution against the two anchor IDCs. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, with combined potential value of $366 thousand — a minimal recompete cliff.

Patriot3's capability portfolio is narrowly specialized. The source characterizes the vendor as a manufacturer of "advanced tactical equipment" with primary focus on jetboots and diving propulsion systems for special operations mobility; secondary products include diving equipment, ballistic protection (shields, wing sets), batteries, and miscellaneous repair parts. NAICS concentration reflects this: Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing (65 awards), All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (13 awards), and All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing (8 awards) account for most of the count. PSC codes align — Marine Lifesaving and Diving Equipment (34 awards), Miscellaneous Ship and Marine Equipment (34 awards), Armor Personal (12 awards), and Individual Equipment (10 awards) dominate the procurement profile. Patriot3 operates with no named subcontractors in the source data and does not appear as a sub-contractor to other primes; the vendor is entirely a direct-prime-to-customer relationship.
