SSD International Inc.

SSD International Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Apopka, Florida, manufactures and distributes firearms and tactical equipment to federal law enforcement and park ranger agencies as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides. The vendor competes exclusively under total small business set-asides on purchase orders for patrol rifles, pistols, suppressors, and related ordnance — with all seven recent awards designated as small-business procurements and no full-and-open competition in the sourced footprint.

SSD International specializes in supplying branded firearms and tactical components to federal agencies. Recent work includes a $35,664 total small business set-aside purchase order awarded by the National Park Service Intermountain Region on July 10, 2025, for 12 Colt M5 Carbine 5.56mm patrol rifles with Surefire suppressors and flash hiders for San Antonio Missions National Historical Park; a $28,060 total small business set-aside from NPS Intermountain Region on August 22, 2025, for 20 Colt M5 rifles delivered to the Denver Federal Center and the Western Arch & Conservation Center in Tucson, Arizona; and two August 7, 2025, total small business set-asides from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center for Smith & Wesson M&P firearms ($11,060 for FLETC Charleston and $16,040 for FLETC Glynco).

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of the Interior's National Park Service Intermountain Region, which placed three awards valued at $68 thousand (67% of combined potential value). The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Law Enforcement Training Center follows with two awards totaling $27 thousand. The vendor's remaining awards come from NPS Midwest Region ($5 thousand) and the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service ($1 thousand). All seven awards are purchase orders under PSC code Guns, Through 30Mm, with the portfolio split between Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing (six awards) and Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing (one award).

Activity is sparse and episodic — one award in 2016, five in 2025, and one in 2026 — generating $101 thousand in combined potential value with full obligation. One award ($5 thousand to NPS Midwest Region) reaches completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete exposure. SSD International operates entirely as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the sourced data. The vendor does not participate on any government-wide vehicles, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs; all work flows through direct purchase orders from agency field offices.
