About the company
Special Projects Operations, Inc. manufactures advanced defense equipment and provides maintenance and repair services for specialized tactical systems to U.S. Department of Defense and law enforcement agencies, operating as a prime contractor on 95% of its federal awards (42 of 44) on a full-and-open competitive basis with no set-aside designations. The Virginia Beach, Virginia-based for-profit manufacturer holds a dominant position with U.S. Special Operations Command, where it anchors a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $995,000 through May 2029 focused on Naval Special Warfare SETS (Specialized Equipment and Tactical Solutions) breaching gear maintenance.
Special Projects Operations specializes in hybrid life support systems, exothermic cutting torch technologies, air and oxygen management systems, breaching gear manufacturing and maintenance, and hydrostatic testing. Representative prime work includes an $8,794.63 delivery order from USSOCOM for SETS breaching gear maintenance (May 2024), a $249,611 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command for exothermic cutting rods (May 2022), a $117,800 purchase order from Navy NAVSUP for exothermic cutting rods (March 2024), an $86,133 purchase order from the Federal Bureau of Investigation for general repair and maintenance of self-contained breathing apparatus systems in support of the Critical Incident Response Group (April 2025), and a $68,387 total-small-business set-aside purchase order from the U.S. Coast Guard for Maritime Security Response Team West breaching gear (August 2025). Work is performed at primary facilities in Virginia Beach, Virginia, with secondary performance locations in Lincoln Acres, California, and Belcamp, Maryland.
Customer concentration is acute: USSOCOM dominates the portfolio with 26 of 44 awards and $5.3 million of the $6.2 million combined potential value, representing 84% of award count and 97% of potential value. The Department of the Navy ranks second with three awards totaling $74,000, followed by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command with three awards worth $90,000. The portfolio sits almost entirely within USSOCOM's $995,000 IDC (18 task orders, $887,000 combined potential value) and a second USSOCOM IDC designated H9224024D0019 (7 task orders, $134,000 combined potential value). Recent activity shows growth from two awards in 2023 to eight in 2024, with five awards in 2025 and one in early 2026. Within its sub footprint, Special Projects Operations supplies components to Atlantic Diving Supply as a sub on Twin Vessel Air Storage System and Identifinder R700 procurements (October and September 2024). Across the prime footprint, Special Projects Operations competes in full-and-open competition without SBA set-aside posture, reflecting demonstrated competitive capability in specialized defense manufacturing and maintenance.
