Sandoval Custom Creations Inc.

Sandoval Custom Creations Inc., a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned small business based in Palmer Lake, Colorado, manufactures specialized surveillance, concealment, and reconnaissance equipment for federal law enforcement and defense agencies as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards), with NAICS footprint spanning communications equipment manufacturing and audio/video equipment manufacturing. The vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations — though several awards carry Total Small Business set-aside flags — and operates as a niche supplier of covert operational hardware rather than a services integrator.

The customer base is highly concentrated around law enforcement. The Drug Enforcement Administration anchors 83 of 106 prime awards (the portfolio's top customer, covering 61% of the top five agencies by count) with a combined potential value of $4.3 million, followed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (4 awards, $2.1 million combined potential value) and remaining federal law enforcement agencies including the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, and Customs and Border Protection. The top five customer agencies by award count represent 86% of all awards, and by potential value 96% — a concentration signal that exposes the vendor to customer budget cycles and procurement policy shifts in law enforcement. Representative prime work includes a $1.799 billion Small Business Set-Aside purchase order from the Air Force Research Laboratory (February 2024) for the RAPTOR (Rapid Tactical Operations and Reconnaissance) system for installation control point security under an STTR Phase II research contract, a $576,630 firm-fixed-price order from the DEA (January 2024) for concealment boxes, and a $696,000 DEA order (July 2023) for 300 Canon VB-H47 video cameras with magnetic mounting bases. More recently, Sandoval secured a $76,837 DEA order (September 2026) for concealments with audio/video microphone capability and a $74,938 Air Force Research Laboratory purchase order (June 2026) under Total Small Business set-aside for enhanced maritime domain awareness.

Sandoval sits on the ATF Covert Operations Equipment IDIQ (32 task orders, $1.2 million combined potential value) as a primary vehicle for law enforcement procurement. Activity has been volatile — two awards in 2022, ten in 2023, six in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026 — with $7.1 million in combined potential value across 123 total awards and $7.7 million in obligated dollars. Three sub-awards route concealment procurement and material supply work through Fairwinds Technologies LLC (February, September, and June 2023). The vendor's PSC footprint emphasizes Video Recording and Reproducing Equipment (28 awards) and Communications Security Equipment and Components (26 awards), alongside Cameras, Motion Picture (22 awards) and Camouflage and Deception Equipment (9 awards) — a product-line concentration consistent with a specialized manufacturer of covert surveillance hardware for field operations rather than a systems integrator or managed-services provider.
