Strategic Operations, Inc.

Strategic Operations, Inc., a San Diego-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation, manufactures and operates hyper-realistic training facilities, medical simulation equipment, and tactical training infrastructure as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) to federal military, law enforcement, and defense agencies across a portfolio spanning 1,138 awards with a combined potential value of $368.9 million. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open, with no SBA set-aside designations across its prime footprint, though selected task orders carry small-business set-asides at the point of award.

Strategic Operations delivers concrete capabilities across three tightly integrated domains. First, medical simulation and training aids: the vendor manufactures and supplies manikins, moulage wound-simulation kits, prosthetic training devices, tactical combat casualty care (TCCC) simulation kits, and consumable medical training components (sternal intraosseous devices, replacement skin, chest liners, trachea inserts, and repair kits) purchased in high volume by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical. Second, tactical training facilities and exercise support: the vendor designs, constructs, and operates containerized mock urban villages, facility complexes, range infrastructure, shoot houses, and specialized training environments for active shooter response, shipboard surgical trauma training, and joint operational readiness exercises. Third, specialized equipment manufacturing: the vendor produces prefabricated and portable structures, tactical training devices, and ancillary equipment for military and law enforcement operational readiness. Representative recent contracts include a $930.5 million delivery order from the U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces for shipboard surgical trauma training services (on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, completion September 2026), a $974.6 million purchase order from Immigration and Customs Enforcement for a modular training structure at Fort Moore, Georgia (September 2024), a $502.5 million definitive contract from the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery for NEMTI simulator consumables (May 2024), and a $634.3 million single-award indefinite delivery contract from the Air Force's Air Combat Command for mock urban village construction at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base through September 2028.

Customer concentration is acute and heavily weighted toward the U.S. Marine Corps. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 73% of recent awards, led by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical (479 awards, $823 thousand combined potential value) and the U.S. Marine Corps (186 awards, $123.3 million combined potential value). However, the customer mix diverges sharply when ranked by dollar value: the Marine Corps anchors 51% of all combined potential value across the entire portfolio, followed by the Department of the Army Forces Command ($29 million, 18 awards), the U.S. Special Operations Command ($12.3 million, 67 awards), the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery ($11.8 million, 57 awards), and the Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region ($10.6 million, 7 awards). The DLA's high volume reflects hundreds of small-dollar commodity purchases for medical consumables and replacement parts, whereas Marine Corps spending reflects a smaller number of large facility and infrastructure task orders.

Strategic Operations places work under two primary vehicle classes. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule accounts for 314 task orders carrying $77.6 million in combined potential value and represents the vendor's dominant vehicle for federal service delivery. An Air Force Air Combat Command indefinite delivery contract (valued at $634.3 million, through September 2028) provides the second major vehicle through which the vendor delivers mock urban training site construction and modification services. The vendor also sits on several Navy and Army indefinite delivery contracts (H9224021D0007, N0018909D0021, N6264518D5071, and others) generating smaller volumes of delivery orders for facility and exercise support, medical training, and training equipment supply.

Activity trajectory has been volatile and is currently contracting. Award volume peaked at 352 awards in 2023, declined sharply to 64 in 2024, then fell to 6 in 2025 and 1 in 2026 year-to-date. This steep decline reflects the completion of major indefinite delivery vehicles rather than loss of customer relationships; only 4 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $1.1 million, indicating minimal recompete exposure and suggesting that Strategic Operations has completed or transitioned most of its vehicle work. The combined-dollars-obligated figure of $147 million (40% of combined potential value) indicates that roughly 60% of potential award value remains unspent across the active portfolio.

Strategic Operations operates primarily as a direct prime to federal customers with minimal subcontractor engagement. Subcontract activity captured in the source is negligible: 5 sub-awards out of 1,138 total awards (0.4%), all recent and routed through Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. as the prime (surgical cut suits and trainer equipment). The GSA labor portfolio reveals a small but diverse staffing capacity across 21 labor categories spanning training and production roles—wardrobe labor ($26.65/hr), drivers ($26.91/hr), editors and camera operators ($32–$37/hr), role players and special effects specialists ($41–$62/hr)—with the highest-priced category (key principal at $103.43/hr) requiring a bachelor's degree and ten years of experience, and no security-cleared positions offered. This labor portfolio suggests capacity for in-house production of training materials, exercise support, and facility operations rather than professional services delivery.

The vendor's NAICS concentration underscores its manufacturing and operations focus: the top category is Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (474 awards), followed closely by Other Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing (305 awards)—a reflection of the high volume of medical simulation consumables and cut suits classified under apparel codes. The dominant PSC category is Training Aids (566 awards), with secondary concentrations in Education/Training (163 awards), Operation Training Devices (52 awards), and Medical/Surgical Instruments (48 awards).

We do realistic training for specialty tactical teams of law enforcement, military, airline crews, & other professional orgs. responsible for public safety by making tactical scenarios in detail controlling & manipulating physical & sensory environment.
