Spec Rescue International, Inc.

Spec Rescue International, Inc. operates as a prime contractor delivering emergency rescue training and specialized equipment to federal agencies, competing primarily in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations. The Virginia Beach-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation has served as a federal contractor since April 2002 and specializes in flood response training, confined space entry instruction, technical rescue operations, and rescue equipment supply across multiple agencies.

The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily on Department of Homeland Security operations and defense. The top five customers account for 53% of recent awards by count and 69% by combined potential value, led by the Coast Guard (9 awards, $1.3 million combined potential value) and the Marine Corps (7 awards, $642 thousand), followed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Georgia Army National Guard, and the Ohio Army National Guard. The Coast Guard relationship dominates both volume and dollar exposure — Spec Rescue International holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with the Coast Guard running through March 15, 2028, with a $606.2 thousand ceiling, under which the agency has issued five delivery orders totaling approximately $463.1 thousand in combined value for recurring flood response training at Virginia Beach. Recent Coast Guard work includes a $134.2 thousand delivery order (March 2026) for flood response training sessions 3 and 4, a $115.7 thousand delivery order (March 2024) for FY25 flood response training, and a $103.5 thousand purchase order (March 2022) for four 5-day flood response courses with secondary training of Coast Guard subject matter experts as lead instructors.

Spec Rescue International's capability portfolio splits between training delivery and equipment supply. Training work dominates across professional development, technical schools, and vocational instruction categories (13, 5, and 4 awards respectively under NAICS framing), while equipment procurements center on safety and rescue equipment (9 awards by PSC). Representative training awards include Coast Guard flood response training contracts and a Marine Corps Chemical Biological Incident Response Force training engagement at Naval Support Facility Stump Neck (September 2021, total small business set-aside). Representative equipment awards include a $125.9 thousand Marine Corps purchase order for an above-ground trench trainer (September 2021, total small business set-aside) and an $71.1 thousand Air Force Air Mobility Command purchase order for a Connector One rescue boat and trailer (August 2023, total small business set-aside). The vendor also maintains IDC positions under Defense Logistics Agency and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration vehicles carrying combined potential values of $423 thousand and $321 thousand respectively.

Activity has been episodic over the past five years — two awards in 2021, one in 2022, three in 2023, one in 2024, and two in 2026 — with only one award (combined potential value $60 thousand) completing within the next twenty-four months. The combined potential value across all forty-seven prime awards is $4 million, with $2.9 million obligated (73% execution rate). Spec Rescue International operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the SCI dataset reports minimal federal services activity (1.8 FTEs in FY2022 on a single named-subcontractor record), indicating the vendor's federal footprint comprises primarily equipment purchases and fixed-price training delivery orders rather than large labor-intensive service contracts.
