Spartan Investment Services LLC

Spartan Investment Services LLC, an SBA-certified HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business based in National City, California, supplies tactical protective equipment, body armor, cold weather gear, and load carriage systems to Department of Defense and federal law enforcement agencies as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards). The company operates as a for-profit limited liability corporation and self-certifies as a small disadvantaged business; it competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements rather than set-aside vehicles, though its HUBZone and SDVOSB designations qualify it for those categories when agencies elect to set them aside.

Spartan's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward defense — the top five funding agencies account for 55% of award count and 55% of combined potential value. The Department of the Air Force in aggregate leads with 38 awards worth $6.4 million, followed by United States Special Operations Command (23 awards, $10.4 million combined potential value), Air Forces Europe and Africa (25 awards, $2.5 million), Air Combat Command (27 awards, $1.6 million), and Global Strike Command (18 awards, $1.3 million). Note the dollar-volume split: USSOCOM's smaller award count masks a much larger potential-value footprint per award, signaling higher-value special operations procurements against Spartan's capabilities. The company has also worked with the Department of the Army, Department of Agriculture, Naval Sea Systems Command, the Air National Guard, Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Defense Information Systems Agency across its 33 distinct customer agencies.

Spartan's product portfolio is highly specialized and narrow by design. NAICS concentration runs to All Other Leather Good and Allied Product Manufacturing (158 awards), Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors (21 awards), and Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing (13 awards). PSC codes tell the same story: Clothing, Special Purpose (72 awards), Armor, Personal (66 awards), and Individual Equipment (45 awards) dominate. Representative work includes a $209.2 million purchase order from Air Forces Europe and Africa for cold weather gear to the 606th Air Control Squadron at Aviano Air Base, Italy; a $346.4 million purchase order to the Office of the Inspector General for T3 Geronimo 3 Dual Armor Plate Carrier systems; and a $212.7 million delivery order to the Department of Agriculture Office of the Inspector General for tactical gear. Smaller routine awards cluster around $20,000 to $75,000 for plate carriers, rucksacks, weapon covers, magazine pouches, and specialized apparel to security forces units worldwide.

The company holds two material blanket purchase agreements with the Department of the Air Force. The first, a $5 million single-award BPA awarded April 1, 2023, running through March 31, 2028, was established to facilitate rapid acquisition of mandatory security forces gear for Air Force units in the United Kingdom and has generated numerous calls for cold weather gear, body armor, and load carriage systems. The second, a $249,999 single-award BPA awarded August 5, 2025, through August 4, 2030, covers Air Force Repair Parts and Equipment Repair services. Beyond these IDVs, Spartan places the bulk of its work — 157 task orders worth $9.8 million — through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, a vehicle that streamlines delivery orders for tactical equipment across federal agencies. Additional smaller parent vehicles include Indefinite Delivery Contract H9224017D0013 (18 task orders, $394 thousand), Special Operations Equipment – Tailored Logistics Support (5 task orders), and two smaller BPAs under the Air Force.

Activity has contracted sharply in recent years. The vendor received 27 awards in 2022, 25 in 2023, 16 in 2024, and 14 in 2025, reflecting year-over-year decline from 2022 baseline. Only one award appears in 2026 year-to-date (sourced as of mid-July 2026). Over a five-year trailing view, 237 total awards carry $41.9 million combined potential value, with $15.4 million (37%) obligated, indicating uneven cash flow against ceiling authority. The recompete cliff is minimal: three awards worth $89 thousand combined face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.

Spartan's subcontractor footprint is negligible. The source identifies only five sub-awards, all placed by Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc., involving T3-branded tactical products (Gale Force jackets, rucksack systems, rolling deployment bags, grid fleece, constellation high-loft jackets) under the Trident Tactical Technical business line between January and October 2024. The company does not appear in the source as a significant sub on large-dollar vehicle awards; its role is overwhelmingly prime.

The vendor does business under the alternate name Trident Tactical Technical, LLC, a designation appearing in multiple award descriptions and contract summaries dating to at least 2021. This operating name is used interchangeably on GSA MAS orders and smaller purchase orders but does not appear to represent a separate legal entity — contract vehicles and regulatory relationships remain tied to Spartan Investment Services LLC.
